"I should have left you behind," agreed Calhoun dourly, "but there was and is a chance I won't get back.
A chair grated on the floor inside, hurried steps were heard, a key turned, the door opened a very little, and Winifred saw the gaunt face of Rachel Craik looking dourly at her, for she had frightened this masterful woman very thoroughly. "Oh, aunt, it is you!" gasped Winifred with a flutter of relief. "You are to go to bed, Winnie," said Rachel. "It is you! They have let you out, then?" "Yes."
The Gaul arose, saluted, military fashion, with a clicking of heels. "Eet ees an honor, M'sieu!" Greer stared around dourly. "Hogan?" The Irishman leaped to his feet joyfully. "Oi'm wid ye, Misther Greer, and we'll bate th' long face off th' spalpeen, though I hate to hit Frinchy Dashalong, who is a good frind o' mine." All the men were up now circling about the principals.
"You'd be bound to learn it. D'you know what the dinies' teeth are made of?" "It's been said," said President O'Hanrahan, "that it's bor ... boron carbide in organic form.
