He said it was very important, and he's waiting for you down by the white bridge over the creek." "Waiting for who?" asked Jack. "For Mark, I guess; but I don't know. Anyhow, the note's for him." "Hum! This is rather strange," mused Mark. "What is it?" asked Jack. "Why, this note. It says: 'It is important that I see you. I will wait for you at the white bridge. That's all there is to it."
While she spun, she murmured a low strange song, to which the hum of the wheel made a kind of infinite symphony.

I ha I personally repel it. 'Why, what is it to you, father? returned the son, over his shoulder. 'What is it to me, sir? I have a hum a spirit, sir, that will not endure it.
Engrossed in argument, neither Maryon nor Nan noticed, the hum of a motor approaching up the drive, and when the door of the room was thrown open to admit Roger Trenby neither of them was able to repress a slight start.
