McCoppet, startled by the accusation, watched the savage manner in which the lumberman ate up the smoke of his weed. He could think of one way only in which a man of Trimmer's mentality could have come upon certain private facts. "So," he said presently, "you crawled in under this place, this floor, and caught it through the cracks." "Knot-hole," said Trimmer gesturing, "that one over there.
"A table first. Here, the very thing," said Jack, making towards a long feed-box at the rear of the barn. As they cleared its top of a pile of harness West asked, "Just what is the scheme here, youngster? I don't think I understand it." "Oh, simple enough. I'll just run the wires out through that knot-hole, and connect one to the fence and the other to the ground." "Simple!
"It may not be True, and if it is True it may be for the Best." The English Tourist made no Response, fearing that his Fellow-Traveler might be In Trade. She was very Pale, up to a certain Point. Pausing about six feet from the English Tourist she looked resolutely at a Knot-Hole in the Floor and said: "Beefsteakliverhamand."
With Aun' Sheba, policy had taken the place of passion. Through a knot-hole in her cabin she had seen her husband admitted to her son-in-law's dwelling, and so her mind was at rest. "Unc," she muttered, "forgits his 'sper'ence at de prar-meetin's bery easy, but he mus' have a 'sper'ence to-night dat he won't forgit. I neber so riled in my bawn days.
About a foot above the floor there was a small knot-hole in the door, which the Goodman had purposely left for a peep-hole, and to this Dan now glued his eyes.
As for the girl at the knot-hole, when she returned to sense she found herself standing with clenched hands and screaming with her might. As if her reason had again departed from her, she ran around the barn, in at the door, and flung herself sobbing beside the body of the soldier in blue.
He drew her to him, crying out: "Why, Lydia darling, you look as though you'd been drawn through a knot-hole! This has been enough sight harder on you than on the baby! What in the world wore you out so? I thought you had two nurses!" He looked closely into her face, seeing more changes: "Why, you poor, poor, poor thing!" he said compassionately. "You look positively years older."
The bears, I suppose, were in their canyon-boulder dens, the squirrels in their knot-hole nests, the grouse in close fir groves, and the small singers in the Indian Canyon chaparral, trying to keep warm and dry. Strange to say, I did not see even the water-ouzels, though they must have greatly enjoyed the storm.
As it fell upon the wharf, the line attached to it was hauled in hand over hand; and though the grapnel started to come along with it, sliding and hopping over the pier, soon one of its points found a crack or a nail or a knot-hole to get hold of; and the houseboat was readily drawn up and made fast to the pilings. The boxes aboard, our lines were cast off and Gadabout moved on up the James.
Nothing of the kind: the tree was perfectly sound not even a knot-hole was visible either in its trunk or limbs. It was not in a cavity that Bruin had been able to conceal himself.
