If Allis hadn't laughed in his face, being full of the happiness of hope, Mike would not have recognized her even then he didn't hit it off quite right. "Alan Porter!" he gasped. "Bot' t'umbs up! Is it ye, b'y?" "Hush!" and a small warning finger was held up. "Don't fear, b'y, that I'll give it away. Mum's the word wit' me. But I'm dahmned if I t'ought ye could roide like that.
I don't half believe what that doctor said just now but I'll make an enquiry or two. Mum's the word, meanwhile. You understand, George?" George answered that he understood very well, and Ayscough presently left him. Outside, in the light of the lamp set over the entrance to the mortuary, he pulled out his watch.

"As to Cornwall," said Grimes, in a confidential whisper, "between you and me, Mrs. Harper, mum's the word." Agatha drew herself up haughtily; but looked at the old Squire and grew patient.

"When I say 'heave ahead, Shipmate, why, then, you will take your treasure upon your back and march straight into the room you understand?" "Aye, aye, Captain."

I'll give you ten per cent. of the profits, you to pay the commissions. Each day's work to be set down, and at the end of each week I'll give you a note for your share. That do? I thought it would. I offer a liberal figure, for I think you know something, youngster. Use your judgment, now. Consult me, of course; but mum's the word. If any stock is pushed in, lay hold, and don't be afraid.

"Mum's the word," rejoined Sammy Simpson. I went on my way deep in thought. I considered it a stroke of luck that I had fallen in with Chris Holtzmann's former clerk.
I say, you needn't mention I dined here to-night: to tell you the truth, I'm supposed to be looking after a company too, and precious busy about it. Mum's the word, d'ye see?" Really this plunge into a new sort of life was quite delightful.
"Not on your life," said Dick, when he was halfheartedly offered the chance of battening on wool, "not while Mum's got the dough. There's only one of me, and she's bound to keep me going." "You couldn't marry on it," said Raven. For that also Dick was cheerfully prepared.
