While Edgecombe was kindling a fire in one corner of the cavern, opening a pile of ashes to extract the few carefully cherished coals by means of which the wood was to be fired, uncle and one nephew left the den to look after the flying-machine and contents. Bruno remained behind, in obedience to a hint from the professor, lest the exile should dread desertion, after all.
And within the wide scope of country which lies nestling inside of that mountain system may to this day be found But, after all, a little parable which Waldo Gillespie read to a certain doubting Thomas, on the very evening of the day which changed Gladys Edgecombe, spinster, into Mrs. Bruno Gillespie, may better serve in this connection.
You can be sure of one thing, sympathetic listeners, if nothing better." With a curious shiver, as though afflicted with a sudden chill, Edgecombe turned partly away, figure drawn rigidly erect, hands tightly clasped behind his back. A brief silence, then he spoke in tones of forced composure.
The aerostat barely landed upon the top of the temple, before Cooper Edgecombe, with a wild scream of ecstatic joy, caught his wife in his arms and hurried her into the car, while Waldo and uncle Phaeton aided Bruno. And Bruno clung fast to the half-swooning maiden, so that two in place of one had to be assisted by uncle and nephew!

Kildare, thereupon, was confirmed in his deputyship, and Sir Richard Edgecombe having first partaken of "much excellent good cheere" at the earl's castle at Maynooth, returned peaceably to England.

"Edgecombe," said the commandant, rather huskily, as the two officers left the hospital, "I am glad mighty glad that we didn't lose Darrin today. We are going to need him in the Navy of tomorrow!" "Sir, the brigade is formed," reported the brigade adjutant, the next day, as the midshipmen stood in ranks, ready to march into the mess hall. "Publish the orders," directed the cadet commander.
The Barstow place on the Edgecombe Road is so honeycombed with sleeping porches, sun dials, swimming pools, bird baths, terraces, sunken gardens, and Italian marble benches that the second assistant Japanese gardener has to show you the way to the tennis courts. That's Okoochee. It was inevitable that Sam Pardee should hear of Okoochee; and, hearing of it, drift there.
