The same buzz of excitement as before, while the judges take notes, the same throbbing of music through the din; but something is different.
Howsomever " Bas rose and took up his hat, "I writ ter ye because I 'lowed a man ought ter aid ther law ef so be he could. Es fer my own perils, I hain't none terrified over 'em. I 'lowed I mout be able ter holp ye, thet's all." "I'm obleeged ter ye," said Turk again, "ye've already holped me in givin' us ther word of his wh'arabouts. I reckon I don't need ter tax ye no further.
"An' I can't git away from the tanyard at all ef ye won't holp me, 'kase old Jube 'lowed he wouldn't let me swop with a smaller boy ter work hyar; an' all them my size, an' bigger, air made ter work with thar dads, 'ceptin' you- uns."

And within half a year there were come seven other knights, and when they saw Sir Launcelot, they had no list to depart, but took such an habit as he had. Thus they remained in true devotion six years, and Sir Launcelot took the habit of priesthood.

Ben, of course, enjoyed skating beside Lambert, who, though a staunch Hollander, had been educated near London and could speak English as fluently as Dutch, but he was not sorry when Captain van Holp called out, "Skates off! There's the museum!" It was open, and there was no charge on that day for admission.
And therefore were we the more devout a great deal. And yet we were cast down, and beaten down many times to the hard earth by winds and thunders and tempests. But evermore God of his grace holp us. And so we passed that perilous vale without peril and without encumbrance, thanked be Almighty God.
Then, lifting them again with almost a happy expression, he added, "But it is Hans who can help Mynheer van Holp THIS time." "How?" asked Peter, making, in his blunt Dutch way, no attempt to conceal his surprise. "By giving you THIS, mynheer." And Hans held forth the missing purse. "Hurrah!" shouted the boys, taking their cold hands from their pockets to wave them joyfully in the air.
"Ye ain't meanin' ter let him take the boy sure enough!" she gasped. "I moughtn't be able ter holp it; I dun'no' how the law stands. He air kin ter Lee-yander, an' mebbe hev got the bes' right ter him." She shivered slightly; the dew was falling, and all the budding herbage was glossed with a silver glister. The shadows were sparse.
The injury to the flesh was of small importance, he could hide that from his aunt but the rent in his trousers was a serious matter. "I wish I could git 'em mended 'fore I goes home," he said wistfully. "I tell you what do," suggested Sam, "I 'low Miss Cecilia'll holp yeh; jest go by her house an' she'll darn 'em up fer yuh." Billy hesitated.
Good neighbors gin 'em some clothes wunst in a while, an' l'arned the gals ter sew an' cook some. An' thar kem ter be a skillet an' a fryin'-pan on the h'a'th ter holp the pot out. Why, 'Fambly' got so prosperous that one day, whenst a' ole, drunken, cripple, ragged man war passin', they enj'yed themselves mightily, laffin' at somebody po'rer than themselves.
