What's his name, Miss Erith?" glancing down at the yellow envelope. "Oh, yes Herman Lauffer hum!" He opened a big book containing the names of enemy aliens and perused it, frowinng. The name of Herman Lauffer was not listed. He consulted other volumes containing supplementary lists of suspects and undesirables lists furnished daily by certain services unnecessary to mention.
Up, and being ready set out with Captain Cocke in his coach toward Erith, Mr. Deane riding along with us, where we dined and were very merry.
At last up, and it being a very foule day for raine and a hideous wind, yet having promised I would go by water to Erith, and bearing sayle was in danger of oversetting, but ordered them take down their sayle, and so cold and wet got thither, as they had ended their dinner.
And Evelyn Erith, resting her yellow head against his knees, looked up at him. "For example," resumed McKay, and read aloud from the diary: "Five days' leave. Blighty. All top hole at home. Walked with Constance in the park. Pair of thrushes in the spinney. Rookery full. Usual butterflies in unusual numbers. Toward twilight several sphinx moths visited the privet.
Sloper was a widower; how many years he had lived with his wife I can't say. She died one Easter Monday, and when Sloper took possession of his new house near Erith he mounted some small cannon on his lawn, and these pieces of artillery he regularly fired every Easter Monday in celebration of what he called the joyfullest anniversary of his life.

"Day and night.
The young man is still unconscious, suffering from the chloral. If you are interested, Miss Erith, would you kindly call at the hospital to-morrow?" "Yes.... Did you say that there was FOREIGN money in his pockets?" "Dutch and Danish silver and English gold." "Thank you.... I shall call to-morrow. Don't let him leave before I arrive." "What?" "I wish to see him.
