If you can't keep a close mouth, and do as you are told, you'd better go back to Chicago. By rare good luck we have averted this disaster, but I have no hope of being so fortunate again." "Don't climb any higher," admonished "Fingerless" Fraser.
Nothing remained visible except the white fingerless gloves why were they fingerless, and what lay beneath them? Hugh wondered and the white shoes.

Toward midnight "Fingerless" Fraser, cruising in a nocturnal search for adventure and profit, found him in a semi-maudlin state, descanting vaporously to his train; and, upon catching mention of the Kalvik fisheries, snatched him homeward and put him to bed, after which he locked him into his room, threw the key over the transom, and stood guard outside until assured that he slept.

The children mussed and gormed themselves, their dishes, the tablecloth. Susan loved it all. Her eyes sparkled.
With a shout that startled the other occupants of the room, Balt and Clyde jumped to their feet and began to caper about in a frenzy. Even "Fingerless" Fraser's expressionless face cracked in a wide grin of amazement. "About noon I was called on the 'phone by Hilliard. He asked me to come down to the bank at once, and I went.
