"I wouldn't touch you with a forty-foot pole." Just what passed between Warde and the Head Master must be surmised. Carefully hidden in Lovell's boxes were found cards and markers. Upon the latter remained the results of the last game played, and under the winning column a rough calculation in pounds, shillings, and pence. There were no names.
All Toledo would be on foot, knowing that something serious was taking place in the Cathedral. With this and those cursed markers that will not let one sleep, one might say that even the king was not so well guarded at night as this church." In the morning when the watch was ended, Gabriel would return to his house, perished with cold, longing to stretch himself in bed.
Presently a fresh set of targets swing up of the bull's-eye variety this time and the markers are busy once more. The interior of the butts is an unexpectedly spacious place. From the nearest firing-point you would not suspect their existence, except when the targets are up.
They had come together from farms and shops and mills and mines, boys from college and boys from tough joints in big cities; sheepherders, street car drivers, plumbers' assistants, billiard markers.

He made no other notes or references he was a man with a colossal memory, and he knew exactly what his markers meant.
In W. H. Hudson's Green Mansions the reader will remember how a few sticks and stones, laid upon a hilltop, were used as markers to indicate the outlines of a continent. Criticism, likewise, needs its poor sticks and stones of commonplace, if it is to point out any roadway.
The marchesa had already opened her lips to give an abrupt refusal, when she felt a warning hand laid upon her arm. Again she was shaken in her purpose of refusal. She rose, and approached the card-table. "I shall take time to consider," she replied to the inquiring eyes awaiting her reply. The marchesa took up the pack of cards and examined the markers.
