"Well, that's not an uncommon name. There was an old carpenter here in your father's time who was called Flint." "Yes," said Uncle Sylvester languidly. "But there is, or was, something uncommon about it and that's the point of the story, for in the old time Flint and Gunn were of the same stock." "Is this a Californian joke?" said Gunn, with a forced smile on his flushed face.
We were already between them and the boats; and so we four sat down to breathe, while Long John, mopping his face, came slowly up with us. "Thank ye kindly, doctor," says he. "You came in in about the nick, I guess, for me and Hawkins. And so it's you, Ben Gunn!" he added. "Well, you're a nice one, to be sure." "I'm Ben Gunn, I am," replied the maroon, wriggling like an eel in his embarrassment.
Snow, who confided to me that the captain's nephew Jacob had offered to Polly that summer she was over there, and she never could see why she didn't have him: only love goes where it is sent, and Polly wasn't one to marry for what she could get if she didn't like the man. There was plenty that would have said yes, and thank you too, sir, to Jacob Gunn. That was a pleasant afternoon.
Brisley and Gunn, standing very close together on the bottom step of the stair to the third floor, watched the police furtively. Irvin and Gray found a common fascination in the door itself, and Seton, cheroot in mouth, looked from group to group with quiet interest. "Right!" cried the Sergeant. The blows ceased. Firmly grasping the bar, Burton brought all his weight to bear upon it.
Gunn did not even know that the horse is the puma's favourite food: he will leap on the back of a horse at full speed, with his paws break his neck as he runs, and come down with him in a rolling heap.
"I am not sure that I could, Miss Gunn," he replied. Hetty's face changed. A look of distress stamped every feature. "Oh, Dr. Williams, do!" she exclaimed. "Sally would never go without you; and she will die, you say, unless she has change." Then hesitating, and turning very red, Hetty stammered, "I can pay you any thing which would be necessary to compensate you: we have money enough." Dr.

A little light came from the partly open door of the sick-room, but all else was in blackness. He moved along and peered in. The nurse was siting in a high-backed oak chair by the fire. She had slipped down in the seat, and her untidy head hung on her bosom.
"There's mother first," said Frank, "and father on Sundays, and then Schoolmaster, and Jack Gunn, and little Phoebe Redrup." "My little lad," said the rector, laying his hand on the boy's shoulder, "you see there's no place like home. Home, where people know us and love us in spite of our faults. I think you won't want to run away again?" "Niver no more," sobbed Frank.
Celliers, the editor of the patriotic organ, the "Volkstem," who, since he had lost the Government printing contract, found that no language could be too strong to apply to the personnel of the Government, more especially its head. Of course, there was a lady in it; what plot would be complete without? She was Mrs. Weatherley, now, I believe, Mrs. Gunn of Gunn.
The professor said this in a peculiar way, that seemed to say "strong inducements" would be held out to the strange man in black. Frank had seen Professor Gunn, and asked his question, but the mystery was deep as ever when the boy left the professor's room.
