She shook her head, and the three passed over the road to the little group just as the ambulance came jangling into the square. To Merrill's surprise, the policeman greeted the little man respectfully, touching his helmet. "I'm afraid nothing can be done, sir. He is gone."
"My respectable dames," said he for his mother had taught him always to use the greatest civility "I hold your eye fast in my hand, and shall keep it safely for you, until you please to tell me where to find these Nymphs.

Wallace looked around with a glance that inquired whether the stranger should be admitted. "Certainly," said Bruce, "but first put on your mask." Wallace closed his visor, and the moment after Grimsby reentered, with a knight of elegant mien, habited in a suit of green armor, linked with gold.

They soon learned to stand in awe of his long musket and unerring skill as a marksman. He had brought with him from England a suit of mail, helmet and cuirass such as were worn by the soldiers of Cromwell.

He helped himself to a rifle and a helmet, both of which he threw out into the garden. After a keen, sweeping glance about, the boy crawled out head first and let himself go.
