The elderly lady then unfastened the gates; whereupon a stunted, oldish muzhik in a red shirt limped into the yard with a foam-flecked steed, and exclaimed: "It is caught in two places at the Savelkin clearing and near the cemetery!"
"It was an oldish box, tied with pink tape and sealed, and on the lid was pasted a label inscribed in old ink, 'The Senior Prebendary's House, Whitminster. On being opened it was found to contain two keys of moderate size, and a paper, on which, in the same hand as the label, was 'Keys of the Press and Box of Drawers standing in the disused Chamber. Also this: 'The Effects in this Press and Box are held by me, and to be held by my successors in the Residence, in trust for the noble Family of Kildonan, if claim be made by any survivor of it.
Balthasar, who knew a water-rat or two, gambolled in front, at the gait which marks an oldish dog who takes the same walk every day.
When about two weeks of my time had expired two oldish men came to the house to stop for a few days and reported themselves as from Sacramento, buying up some horses for that market. Thus far they had purchased only six or eight, as they had found the price too high to buy and then drive so far to a market to sell again.
In a few minutes he was at the church door, where an oldish man, after surveying him somewhat dubiously, gave him a formal handshake and passed him into the hands of an usher.

'Mr Morris Finsbury, I believe, said the gentlemanly man, fixing Morris with a pair of double eye-glasses. 'That is my name, said Morris, quavering.
"True, but who would trust me an unknown boy?" replied Hans sadly. There was silence for a few minutes; then Ole said: "How much money do you require to pay for your father's farm and set yourself up?" "A goodly sum," said Ole despondingly. "No, no, Hans, give her up, boy, give her up. It is the advice of an oldish man and a true friend." "It is the advice of an ass," retorted Hans fiercely.
Some of this minority, in addition to the women, were business men, or professors, or merchants, or doctors. It was not far from Hanover, where you change cars for Cologne and Aix- la-Chapelle, dispatching-centers of the troops for the northern line of battle, that the Frankfort doctor in the seat next mine began to talk. He was an oldish man over sixty, dressed in mourning, and careworn.
I kept the letter a secret, for I desired to observe the officer without rousing his suspicion of my purpose; it would be an admirable test of a dead man's power and deliberate intention to haunt the living, for so I interpreted the letter.
