The snow-walkers are mostly night-walkers also, and the record they leave upon the snow is the main clew one has to their life and doings. The hare is nocturnal in its habits, and though a very lively creature at night, with regular courses and run-ways through the wood, is entirely quiet by day.
"Just when the fishing is bound to be at its best, too," complained Toby; "but then after I know the way, and have broken a regular trail to and from the river, I can stay later. I dug a lot of worms in our garden, and picked up some whopping big night-walkers besides, so I'm all fixed for bait, I reckon."

He took his shovel and actually dug some worms from the garden, long, wriggly worms "night-walkers," the boys call them and placed them in a can, and presto! that too went into his pocket, the seventh. And now all the pockets were filled. And, mind you, he did all this by himself.
The marquis walked up to the archway, saw nothing save the grim wall of the keep, impassive as granite crag, and the ground wet a long way towards the white horse; and never doubting he had lost his chance by taking Tom for the culprit, contented himself with the reflection that, whoever the night-walkers were, they had received both a fright and a ducking, and betook himself to bed, where, falling asleep at length, he saw little Molly in the arms of mother Mary, who, presently changing to his own lady Anne that left him about a year before little Molly came, held out a hand to him to help him up beside them, whereupon the bubble sleep, unable to hold the swelling of his gladness, burst, and he woke just as the first rays of the sun smote the gilded cock on the bell-tower.
It is a popular belief, already referred to elsewhere, that the working-women form a large proportion of the numbers who fill houses of prostitution; and that "night-walkers" are made up chiefly from the same class.
I hear the great bell of Tokoji rolling its soft Buddhist thunder across the dark, and the songs of the night-walkers whose hearts have been made merry with wine, and the long sonorous chanting of the night-peddlers. 'U-mu-don-yai-soba-yai! It is the seller of hot soba, Japanese buckwheat, making his last round.
"Why didn't you tell anyone of this before?" "Nobody asked me." "And he ain't got no use for Mrs. Wilson, nor she for him," supplemented the coroner. "But I thought you ought to know." "Would you know the man again if you should see him?" Garrison inquired. "Sure." "Do you know where he went when he left the house, or yard? Did you follow him at all?" "No, the night-walkers was too thick."
"You're the man who saw a stranger going into Hardy's room, at Mrs. Wilson's, the night that Hardy died, I believe?" he said. "How did you happen to be there?" "He lives right near," volunteered Mr. Pike. "I was gettin' night-walkers," said Will. "Night-walkers?" repeated Garrison. "People?" "Fishin' worms," supplied Mr. Pike. "Angleworms walk at night and Will gits 'em for bait.
Where was I? Oh, I jumped out of bed, and put on my red plush breeches, with the blue nether stocks, for I always make a point of being dressed suitably to my dignity, night and day, summer or winter, Colonel Everard; and I took the Constable along with me, in case the alarm should be raised by night-walkers or thieves, and called up worthy Master Holdenough out of his bed, in case it should turn out to be the devil.
