They were Lane Fleming's one false step. Ordinarily, Lane was a careful buyer; he must have let himself get hypnotized by all that ivory and gold, and all that documentation on crested notepaper. You know, Fleming's death was an undeserved stroke of luck for Arnold Rivers. If he hadn't been killed just when he was, he'd have run Rivers out of the old-arms business."
But I want to introduce you to my god-father, Mr. Fleming; you know it was his son whom your brother saved." And I heard Derrick being introduced as the brother of the hero of Saspataras Hill; and the next day he received a card for one of Mrs. Fleming's receptions, Lawrence having previously been invited to dine there on the same night. What happened at that party I never exactly understood.
This was no easy matter, as the ingenious Faulkner was laboriously leading his charge up the steep gulch road, with great politeness, but many audible misgivings as to whether this was not "Jack Fleming's day for going to Jamestown." He was further lightening the journey by cheering accounts of the recent depredations of bears and panthers in that immediate locality.
"If Clifton Holt was to tell you that white was black you'd believe him." "I'd consider it," said Ben, gravely.

Two soft arms were thrown round Mrs. Fleming's neck. "I'd do anything for you, though I hate to be a molly-coddle!" whispered Diana. "I'm most fearfully sorry if I've really made you feel ill!" The decoration of the church was only one of the incidents of Christmas; there were other things to be done before the festival arrived.
One was a sealed letter, thick and folded as letters used to be before envelopes were in use. It was addressed to her father in very beautiful handwriting which she had seen somewhere before. She held it before her cousin that she might see it. "It is Hughie Fleming's writing! I know it well," said Betsey.
There is nothing there that Jacob or Clifton has anything to do with. I often have been sorry that I didn't just take old Mr Fleming's note, instead of the mortgage. It might have saved some hard feelings. There, that's all. I feel better, I'll try and sleep again." They sat beside him till he fell asleep, and then they moved into the other room, Elizabeth carrying the bag with her.
The words of old Fleming's ballad of evil wives came into his mind: "An evil wyfe is the werst aught That ony man can haif, For he may never sit in saught Onless he be her sklaif."
