He stared at the shaded lamp, round which four or five moths and a big beetle were wildly circling in a frantic desire to commit suicide, but kept from a fiery end by gauze wire over the chimney. "What fools moths and beetles are!" thought Bob, and then his attention was taken up by the officers. "Will you speak, Major Sandars?" said the resident. "No, I think it should come from you, Mr Linton.
You won't know me when you see me." "You're not the only one," put in Muriel Harding. "You won't be one, two, three when I appear to-night in all my glory." "Listen to the conceited things," laughed Irma Linton. "'I won't speak of myself, as H. C. Anderson beautifully puts it." "Who's he?" demanded Jerry. "I know every boy in Sanford High, but I never heard of him."
"She used to look on herself as one of the really lucky women," said David Linton, "because her husband didn't get killed. And I think she was herrings and culm and all. And we're even luckier, since we've all come back to Australia, and to such a welcome as you've given us." He stood up, smiling his slow, pleasant smile at them all.
I felt that both Linton and Gregg were ready to tumble over, each in an apoplexy of suppressed emotions; while I had recourse to my handkerchief to hide my tears.

You must try to love him, as you did your mother, and then he will love you. 'But why have I not heard of him before? asked Linton. 'Why didn't mamma and he live together, as other people do?
Monty fixed Ed Linton, all right. Usually Ed is easy-goin' an' cool. But now he's on the rampage. Wal, mebbe it's news to you to learn that Ed's wife is powerful, turrible jealous of him. Ed was somethin' of a devil with the wimmen. Monty goes over an' tells Beulah that's Ed's wife that Ed is goin' to have for caddie the lovely Miss Dorothy with the goo-goo eyes.
