He went around the house and I into the hall. "Judge Colfax will return in a minute," I explained. "Of course!" said Miss Danforth. "We will wait for him." The minutes passed. He did not come back. "Where did you say he went?" asked the old barrister or lawyer, as you call them. I shook my head and turned the baby onto my other arm. In a second more I heard his voice on the porch.
"Well, that does beat all nature!" cried Robert Danforth, bestowing the heartiest praise that he could find expression for; and, indeed, had he paused there, a man of finer words and nicer perception could not easily have said more. "That goes beyond me, I confess. But what then?
"Then, if any more money is missing, you will know where it has gone," said Dawkins, hastily. "I shall." "Then there is no chance for my cousin?" "I am expecting to have a vacancy." Dawkins looked up in surprise. "I shall require some one to fill YOUR place," said Mr. Danforth, significantly. "Sir!" exclaimed Dawkins, in astonishment and dismay.
Mary Danforth was speaking; her high-pitched voice grated unpleasantly on Elsie's ears. She stepped out over the low window-sill, followed by Mrs. Verdon, Lily, and Mr. Ryan. Arnold muttered something under his breath. Mary came towards the pair at once, with a little affected exclamation of surprise. "You here, Arnold! Isn't it lovely, Miss Kilner?
Then he turned to the end of the same book, and I read the words more familiar to me: "Most heartily we beseech Thee with Thy favour to behold and bless Thy servant, the President of the United States, and all others in authority" and the rest of the Episcopal collect.

Danforth told me from how great a peril you rescued her. You are a brave boy." "I don't know," said Paul, modestly, "I didn't think of the danger. If I had, perhaps I should have hesitated." "If you had not been brave you would have thought of your own risk. My wife and myself are under very great obligations to you."
"It's up to you, Danforth," he said, raising his voice to be heard above the pounding roar of the wheels. "You're the youngest and lightest: get down on the 1010's brake-beam and unhook those chains." The secretary looked once into the trap with the dodging jaws and the backward-flying bottom and declined the honor. "I can't get down there," he cried. "And I shouldn't know what to do if I could."
Nevertheless, there was a certain odd expression of sagacity that made Owen Warland feel as if here were old Pete Hovenden, partially, and but partially, redeemed from his hard scepticism into childish faith. "How wise the little monkey looks!" whispered Robert Danforth to his wife.
The latter surveyed the address with approval, and said, "I am glad you write so excellent a hand. It will be of material assistance to you in securing a place in a counting-room. Indeed, it has been already, for I have just thought of a place which I can obtain for you." "Can you, sir?" said Paul, eagerly. "Where is it?" "In my own counting-room," said Mr. Danforth, smiling.
"I rather think the document is worth more money." "You'd take my heart's blood for it, I know. But you can't get any more money than I have got." "You were very ready in promising five hundred in ten minutes. It seems to me that in an hour you might raise a larger sum." "Do you suppose I am a capitalist? that I own Fogarty, Danforth, and Dot?" "I'm sure, I can't tell.
