"I'm not the man you're lookin' for," he replied stubbornly. The undertaker started after him and laid a hand roughly upon his arm. "See here, Lem, you goin' to blab this all over town?" Remembering the graves he had dug for $5.00, the grave-digger began to enjoy Lutz's anxiety. "Can't tell what I'll do when I get a few drinks in me." "You start somethin' and you'll be sorry."
"Where are we to sleep to-night, Herr von Walden, please?" asked Reggie from the heights of Lutz's broad shoulders, late that third afternoon, when we were all, not the children only, beginning to think that a rest even in the barest of inn parlours, and a dinner even of the most modest description, would be very welcome. "Don't tease so, Reggie," said Nora.
He paused, and looked round him complacently. "No, indeed," replied everybody. "The very contrary. We have got on capitally." At which the beaming face of our commander-in-chief beamed still more graciously.

Our quarters at Seeberg met with the approval of everybody. The supper was excellent, our rooms as clean and comfortable as could be wished.
Lutz's tone was threatening. "I'm naturally truthful; I aims to stick strictly to facts if I does talk." "Facts don't cut any ice in a libel suit," replied the undertaker significantly. Libel suit! That sounded like the law and the grave-digger had a poor man's fear of the law. There was less assurance in his voice when he asserted "No man don't own me."
