Hylda hurried down the staircase to her room, saw Kate Heaver waiting, beckoned to her, caught up her opera-cloak, and together they passed down the staircase to the front door. Heaver rang a bell, a footman appeared, and, at a word, called a cab. A minute later they were ready: "Snowdon House," Hylda said; and they passed into the night.
There was the intercollegiate track meet due in two weeks, and there, in the list of felons, were Evans, our crack sprinter, Petersen, our hammer heaver, and yours truly, who could pole vault about as high as they run elevators in Europe, even if he was only a sub-Freshman with field mice in his hair. Now, this was really serious.
Justification he had none; excuse I found in my heart for him, for it struck me coming over me in a strange sudden revelation as I sat and looked at him that he had given such love to the duchess, the gay little lady would have been marvelously embarrassed. It was hers to dwell in a radiant mid-ether, neither to mount to heaver nor descend to hell.
"Two apiece, and a kitchen and attic. Coal-hole and pig-stye in the back yard. Also a pump. But they're not for sale, so what's the use " "Sir, do they also contain bathrooms?" "Bathrooms?" Mr. Dawson stared with so excessively stupid a stare that Fritzing, who heaver could stand stupidity, got angry again.
From the centre of the crown there rose above the feathers a projection resembling in some degree the projection which distinguishes the tiara of the Assyrian kings, the rounded, and not squared, at top. This head-dress, which has a heavy appearance, was worn low on the brow, and covered nearly all the back of the head. It can scarcely have been composed of a heaver material than cloth or felt.
"Your maid Heaver?" asked Eglington in surprise, a swift shadow crossing his face. "Yes; she only told me this morning. Perhaps she had seen that Claridge Pasha was coming to England. I had not, however. At any rate, Quixotism saved her." David smiled. "It is better than I dared to hope," he remarked quietly. "But that is not all," continued Hylda. "There is more.
"Now something to tie their hands; anything that will hold." Kitty could see the speaker now. Another coal heaver, but evidently on her side. "Tie their hands behind them... I warn you not to move, men. When I say I'll shoot I mean it. Don't be afraid of hurting them, miss. Very good. Now bandage their eyes. Handkerchiefs."
I want to know what startled Heaver yonder, what you have come to say." "I beg pardon, your grace. One doesn't keep good news waiting, and 'tis not good news for her ladyship I bring, even if it be for Claridge Pasha, for there was no love lost 'twixt him and second-best lordship that's gone." "Speak, man, speak it out, and no more riddles," she interrupted sharply.
They were the conies' castles, ready refuges from enemies, their devious passages as effective as drawbridge or portcullis. The cony is something like the heaver far down on the flats below; working at top speed when he does work, and then resting for many months.
The engineer turned to the stoker. "How did he happen to fall?" he asked. "He didn't fall," declared the begrimed coal heaver. "No? What then " "'Nother chap jumped on his back and flung him down. It's wonderful he wasn't killed." Frank was triumphant. He regarded the engineer and his assistant with a grim smile on his face. "This is incredible!" exclaimed the engineer.
