"We couldn't be extradited," Littleson answered, "and I shall take remarkably good care not to cross the ocean again until this thing has blown over." "If it ever does," Phineas Duge remarked quietly. "Well, go on about Norris Vine." Once more Littleson looked around the room. "You know Dan Prince is over here?" he said softly. Duge nodded.
Norris himself then stepped forward to the breach, and cried aloud the terms, lest the returning herald, who had been sent back by Leicester, should offer too favourable a capitulation. It was arranged that the soldiers should retire without arms, with white wands in their hands the officers remaining prisoners and that the burghers, their lives, and property, should be at Leicester's disposal.
A hoarse imprecation broke from his lips, and Norris Vine, who was still conscious though badly winded, seeing what was amiss, sat up on the carpet and gazed too, bewildered, at the empty table. The papers were gone! There was no sign of them there. There was no sign of any one else in the apartment. There was nothing to indicate that any one had entered it or left it.
Perhaps recollections of those pleasant visits with her mother at Norris Castle have helped to render so dear the Queen's own beautiful sea-side home, Osborne House.

On the Monday morning Norris returned to Jephson's, with pride in his heart and a sovereign in his pocket, the latter the gift of his excellent uncle.

"Say, friend, have you seen anything of that old skin Norris?" asked Ted, meeting one of the Running Water outfit on the street. "Yep. I wuz jest goin' ter look yer up an' post yer," was the reply. "Which way did he go, or is he still in town?"
I don't know. They just appear." "Over four or five hundred yards of open park?" "Well, but she had to appear here, because this is where the original one Lady Anne, you know was supposed to walk." "Oh, never mind Lady Anne! A real ghost can do anything. But how did Miss Norris appear suddenly over five hundred yards of bare park?" Bill looked at Antony with open mouth.
It would lift them out of the boneyard of antiquity and put them fifty years ahead of their competitors. Why, I'll bet Granger's would give you a cool twenty thousand for that just as it stands. It would serve Norris right, too." Dale's face flushed with excitement. "Do you really think all that, Adam?
Meanwhile will keep you informed as to 'lightning change' programme we are giving these days. The Norris cabin stands high on the mountain slope, and is reached by a steep winding road leading up from Vanumanutagi Ranch. To this ideal spot, this secluded little lodge in the wilderness, Frank Norris hoped to bring his wife and little daughter and spend many happy and fruitful summers.
