"Say, I got out of my chair, all in a cold sweat, for I thought it was a call, and I was slated to pass in my checks right there.
From a corner of the room sprang a collie dog that, unobserved by them, had been lying among the sacks, and keeping a watch over its master's property. Lindsay promptly replaced the tin and the handkerchief on the barley. "Good dog! Poor fellow!" she said encouragingly, holding out her hand. The dog, however, did not make the least response to her friendly advances.
"I am very much obliged to you," I said. "There is one question I should like to ask if I may." He took off his spectacles and polished them with his pocket-handkerchief. "Well?" he observed encouragingly. "I should like to know whether Savaroff's daughter is in custody the girl who gave the police their information about me."

A whispered word or two explained the better aspect of affairs, and the doctor said, encouragingly: "That's good, if he will only sleep on." "Do you think he will, doctor?" was asked anxiously.

Those looking on read in Kitty's horrified eyes only a fear of what Anna might admit, and opinion was strengthened against her. "Speak out frankly, Anna," said Miss Richards encouragingly.
"I'm afraid the owners will think this is enough. This is a great lift. I'll do my best to satisfy them, though; for I'd rather sail master of the Sabrina than of the biggest man-of-war afloat." "We used to play round her when we were children," said Louie, encouragingly.
