Ericson burst out laughing, and sat down. But still he hesitated. 'Aff wi' yer shune, sir. Duv ye think I can wash yer feet throu ben' leather? said Miss Letty, not disdaining to advance her fingers to a shoe-tie. 'But I'm ashamed. My stockings are all in holes. A body wad think ye had a clo'en fit in ilk ane o' thae bits o' shune o' yours.
He looked tired. Hamilton made a motion towards his own bed which clearly signified, 'would you like to lie down for a little? Ericson replied by a sign of assent, and presently he stretched himself half on the bed and half off on the coverlet of the bed as to his head and shoulders, with his legs hanging over the side and his feet on the floor and he thought again, about his birthday, and so he fell asleep.
They are our real heroes, the fire-laddies, for outside of Frank Ericson and Shorty McGrew, who work on the switching-crew, and come sailing down through town hanging gracefully from the end of a box-car ladder by one foot and hand, no one else has any chance to face danger in Homeburg.
Ericson, of course, would naturally desire to recover his position in South America; but even if he were to succeed he could hardly expect Helena to settle down to a life in an obscure and foetid South American town. Sir Rupert took this for granted. He did not argue it out. It came to his eyes as a certain, unarguable fact.
Calmly she sleepeth, and her sleep is blest With heavenly visions, and the joy of Night Treading aloft with moons. Nor hath she fright Though cloudy tempests beat upon her breast.

Let me go, papa! She turned appealingly to Sir Rupert. 'Go, child, if you won't be in the way. Ericson hesitated, just for a second; then he spoke. 'Come with me if you will, Miss Langley.
Ericson had a good deal of boyish interest in life, and even in small things, left in him, for all his Dictatorship and his projects, and his Gloria, and the growing sentiment that sometimes made him feel with a start and a pang that it was beginning to rival Gloria itself in its power of absorption.
'Say these words. She repeated slowly, and giving him plenty of time to get the words into his ears and his mind, a number of phrases in which the peculiar accent and pronunciation of the born Whitechapel man were certain to come out. Ericson, of course, comprehended the meaning of the whole performance. The East End man hesitated. 'I ain't here for playing tricks, he mumbled.
Carl trusted himself to the bunch of boys forming behind him, and found himself rushed into the comparative quiet of a Tudor courtyard. A charming youngster, hatless and sleek of hair, cried, "Right this way, Mr. Ericson up this staircase in the tower and we'll give 'em the slip." From the roar of voices to the dusky quietude of the hallway was a joyous escape.
'I should have to interpret the Oracle itself before I could be clear as to the meaning of its answer, Ericson said composedly. Soame Rivers knew pretty well by the words and by the tone that if he did not like the Dictator, neither did the Dictator very much like him.
