"That is true unless there is some grave mistake. But you are right about one thing, the man is really Baxter's father, and his name is Arnold Baxter." "And why does he travel around under the name of Nolly?" "That is the mystery. I met Mr. Baxter only once when he placed his son in my care. At that time I was certain he was wearing a wig and a false mustache.
"Hush, Buddy, how many times must I tell you that I want that name dropped, especially around here?" "There ain't anybody around here to hear us?" "Well, I don't want the name mentioned. I call you Buddy. You must call me Nolly." "All right, Nolly." "Now, you are dead sure you saw the boys on their way to Putnam Hall?" "I am." "How much have you drank today?" "Only two glasses, this morning.
"Walked," answered Tom as calmly as he could, although this is not saying much, for he realized that the pair before him were desperate characters and that he was no match for them. "Have you been spying on us?" demanded the fellow called Nolly. "I've been spying on this man," answered Tom, pointing to the other fellow. "He stole my brother's watch. What have you done with it?"
Once, at the table of Mr. Coutts the banker, Mrs. Coutts, dressed like Morgiana, came dancing in, presenting her dagger at every breast. As she confronted the sculptor, Fuseli called out, "Strike strike there's no fear; Nolly was never known to bleed!"
"Every few months or so you come up to Cedarville, Baxt Nolly, and on a secret mission." "Well, who has a better right? Come, let us talk about something else. If you Hullo, what's that?" Both men leaped to their feet as a sound from the bushes back of the spring reached their ears.
MY DARLING Boy: You went off in such a hurry that it took my breath at the last. You say coming down helps you. It certainly does me. It brings a real sunshine to Papa and me. He was saying that to-day. I gave Nolly a sort of holiday after her miseries last night.
We went down street and got Papa a present for our wedding day, a picture, after all, and then I took Miss Baker some tickets for a concert. I saw her father who said he "must speak about my noble looking boy." I always thought him a genius but now I think him a man of penetration as well. Then Nolly and I went over to see the Russians.
Why, we'd jest kind uv bresh the moisture from our eyes 'nd say: "Mister recordin' angel, you may nolly pros this case 'nd perseed with the docket." I hev allus hed a good opinion uv the wimmin folks. I don't look at 'em as some people do; uv course they're a necessity just as men are.
"Émile Nolly proved a magnificent soldier. He had a youthful, blithe, fervent and resolute soul; he had the soul of a hero completely prepared to sacrifice himself with joy for his country. After having served valiantly and brilliantly in Indo-China, and then in Morocco, it was with a radiant hope that he set out for the frontier of Lorraine.
"Do you mean to say I lie, Rover? Take care, or you may be sorry for what you say!" "You can't pull the wool over my eyes, Baxter. That man's name is no more Nolly than mine is George Washington or yours William McKinley." "Isn't it? Then perhaps you know his real name." "I do. His name is Arnold Baxter." Had a bomb exploded at Baxter's ear he would not have appeared more astonished.
