She had planned it with Father and Mother Blossom through letters and they had kept the secret successfully. If the afternoon was still hot when they reached home, no one knew it. The whole island had to be shown to Jud, and he had to see the Harley shack and hear of the discovery of the silver mugs and the letters.
"In place of the motor business we'll use good hard muscle with these setting poles. And so long as we can touch bottom right along, it ain't going to be a very hard job getting back to the island. You don't think it's more'n half a mile; do you, Paul?" "Not much more, and we can take our time, Jud. The one thing above all others we've got to keep in mind is silence.
"Diamonds are not made in a day." The light Jud Carpenter saw flashed in his eyes: "I have read of one somewhere who turned water into wine and that was as difficult." "If if " she said gently "if you had always been this if you would always be this" "A woman knows a man as a rose knows light," he said simply "as a star knows the sun.
"Up to that point," he said, "I wrote it myself before I saw him." There was a note of triumph in his voice. "The rest is his." "On the night Lucas was killed I was to go away. Bev had agreed to give me some money, for the piece had quit in June and I was hard up. She was going to borrow it from Jud Clark, and that set me crazy. I felt it ought to be mine, or a part of it anyhow.
Except for that identification of Gregory's, and for the photograph of Judson Clark.... For a moment he wondered if the two, Jud Clark and the unknown, could be the same.

"'Get out of the way, you whelp," said his cousin, carrying the fable on, "for I perceive you are not even a fox, but a coyote, since no fox was ever known to run down a doe." The smile was gradually changed on his face to a cruel sneer, and Harry ceased talking with a suddenness that was marked. When the mill opened the next day, there was work for Jud Carpenter.
"Goot-pye, mine bac'n!" The monkey came up grinning triumphantly. Thinking he had done something worthy of a penny, he added to Billy Buch's woe by taking off his comical cap and passing it around for a collection. He was honest in it, but the crowd took it as irony, and amid their laughter Jud and Billy slipped away.

"Say, you," he said, with candid, though not excessive, choler, "did you mean that straight, or was you trying to throw the gaff into me? Some of the boys been telling you about me and that pancake racket?" "No, Jud," I said, sincerely, "I meant it.
Somehow the others seemed to guess what he had in mind, and all were anxiously watching as they drew near the bend. As the trees ceased to shut out their view, they gave a shout of delight, for the lake was there, just as Paul had anticipated. "Whew! she's a big place, all right!" declared Jud, as they looked toward the distant shore, where the trees seemed lost in the shadows.
