I don't know who you be, but I'd know you was a thief if I run acrost you in prayer-meetin'. Just to look at you is enough." I heard a hysterical giggle from the bench beside me. Evidently the person with the club heard it, too, for he leaned forward to look. "So there's two of ye, eh!" he said. "Well, by godfreys, I don't care if there's a million!
But he painted, in colors vivid as if caught from the skies of the East, the great spread of Mahometanism and the danger it menaced to Christian Europe, and drew up the Godfreys and Tancreds and Richards as a league of the Age and Necessity against the terrible progress of the sword and the Koran.

Be the divil to pay if you don't.... Godfreys, yes!" The announcement exploded like a bomb in the midst of the little group in the light keeper's sitting room.
I was aboard the Hog's Back lightship, that's where I was." "Dear, dear! Is it possible?" "Um-hm. Possible enough that I was there, and one spell it looked impossible that I'd ever be anywheres else.
