"John," said Bob, "Oldham has been here, and I don't know what to do." California John listened without a single word of comment while Bob detailed all the ins and outs of the situation. When he had finished, the old man slowly drew forth his pipe, filled it, and lit it. "Son," said he, "I'm an old man, and I've lived in this state since the early gold days. That means I've seen a lot of things.
I am Dr. Oldham from Corinth. I am staying at the Thompson's down the river." "My name is Daniel Howitt Matthews," he answered. "My home is the old Matthews place on the ridge above Mutton Hollow." Then he rode away up the winding Fall Creek trail. The Doctor spent the whole of the next day near the spot where he had met the boy, fearing lest the lad might come again and not find him.
"I am surprised that you should say that, for Miss Oldham's are quite the most artistic I have seen." "Naturally Miss Oldham would have the handsomest set in the market, wouldn't she?" queried Mrs. Ames in what no doubt was intended to be a tone of innocent inquiry.

My father was a small man, weighing only one hundred and thirty pounds, and of a peaceable disposition.
The only personification of his nation which the artisan of Oldham or Middlesbrough can recognise is the picture of John Bull as a fat, brutal, early nineteenth-century Midland farmer. One of our national symbols alone, the 'Union Jack, though it is as destitute of beauty as a patchwork quilt, is fairly satisfactory. But all its associations so far are with naval warfare.

"Mr. Baker has invested in this project a great many millions of dollars," said Oldham. "He must be adequately safeguarded.
