McKnight was commended for his public spirit; and it was then agreed that a member of the Committee should wait upon Widow Haddon to invite her co-operation, and point out the extent to which her son's mental and moral development would be retarded by a display of weakness on her part at a crisis of this kind? Mr. Ephraim Shine volunteered for this duty.
At his back was a drive running into darkness; before him was a small irregular excavation lit with a single candle, and sitting in this, dressed, or, more correctly, undressed, like miners at their work, were Dick Haddon and Ted McKnight. Jacker threw his bundle on the floor of the drive.

The official returns of the August election showed that the Constitution of 1844 had been rejected a second time. But the majority against its ratification had been cut down by at least one half.
I put it right here, coverin' it with this flat junk an' a lot o' small stuff. I know I know quite well. Harry and McKnight went into the shaft with shovels, and turned over the dirt stowed there to the depth of two feet, but the bag was gone. 'Show a light here, Downy said suddenly, looking up at Dick from the slab on which he was seated above the two workers.
There was a weak spot near where Hector, Peterson's billy-goat, had butted his way through on a memorable occasion, and escape was still a comforting contingency. The master approached McKnight with a pencil as if to set a lesson, but this was merely a ruse; Jacker was a hard-headed vicious youth whose favourite kick Ham wisely reckoned with on an occasion like this.

The enemy's loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, was near seven hundred.

"I would like to sit up, doctor." "Nonsense. Take a rest while you have an excuse for it. I wish to thunder I could stay in bed for a day or so. I was up all night." "Have a drink," McKnight said, pushing over the bottle.
McKnight threw the door open, and Hotchkiss, raised on his toes, flung out his arm in a gesture of superb eloquence. "Behold your man!" he declaimed. Through the open doorway came a tall, blond fellow, clad in light gray, wearing tan shoes, and followed closely by an officer. "I brought him here as you suggested, Mr. McKnight," said the constable.
He went out then, but he turned as he closed the door and threw at me a glance of half-amused, half-contemptuous tolerance. McKnight saw Alison, with Mrs. Dallas, to their carriage, and came back again. The gathering in the office was breaking up. Sullivan, looking worn and old, was standing by the window, staring at the broken necklace in his hand.
