Did you think I was twins? Get down off there this minute. You've gone crazy. I thought so when I saw that beaver. Either that or you've been drinkin'. Grace! What DOES make her so long gettin' that hammer?" Finding the hammer did seem to take a long time. There was no sound from the kitchen. Kyan, steadying himself with one hand on the pipe, waved the other wildly. "S-s-sh! s-sh-h!" he hissed.
John Ellery drew a breath of relief. Then he laughed. "Humph!" he exclaimed. "She's gone." "GONE? Why, she ain't nuther! Where could she go?" "I don't know, but she has gone somewhere. At any rate, she's not here." Kyan rose to his feet. His alarm had changed to paralyzed astonishment. "How could she go?" he repeated. "That window won't open more'n six inches.
On the side of the sea, Esmond Kyan was badly wounded in the arm, which he was subsequently obliged to have amputated, and though the fearless Shilmaliers drove the cavalry into and over the Avoca, discipline and ordnance prevailed once again over numbers and courage.
The house of the nearest neighbor being several hundred yards away, the likelihood of being overheard was improbable; but the minister came back, nevertheless. "You see, Mr. Ellery," stammered Kyan, "I I'd like to have you come in fust rate, but er Laviny she's got the key." Ellery was surprised. "She has!" he exclaimed. "Um hm, she's got it. She took it with her." "But there are other doors.
"Yes, and for the dear mercy sakes WHY have you got it on?" Kyan saw an opportunity for self-justification. "You TOLD me to put it on," he declared triumphantly. "You said yourself I'd better rig out in my Sunday clothes 'cause we might go to Eben's funeral. You know you did." "Hear the man!
The Sunday school folks have all gone back on me, since I put kyan pepper on the stove, when they were singing 'Little Drops of Water, and they all had to go out doors and air themselves, but I didn't mean to let the pepper drop on the stove. I was just holding it over the stove to warm it, when my chum hit the funny bone of my elbow. Pa says I am a terror to cats.
That's the King of Trumet. Let's you and me go ahead and fire salutes, Thoph." Captain Elkanah wrathfully ordered the flags to be removed from the horses' heads and from the dashboard.

He followed Mr. Pratt and his sister to the Pepper pew and subsided sadly in the corner next the wall. Occasionally he was observed to wipe his forehead and once it was during the prayer he groaned audibly.
She skirted the outlying clumps of bayberry and beach plum bushes and entered the grove. The pine needles made a soft carpet which deadened her footfalls, and the shadows beneath the boughs were thick and black. She tiptoed on until she reached the clearing by the brink of the bluff. No one was in sight. She drew a breath of relief. Kyan might be mistaken, after all. Then she heard low voices.
