The Opener of Roads who came to doctor me, because my wives believed those white medicine-men wished me dead, says that I have been poisoned and must die. If you had been here at first you might perhaps have given me some medicine. But now it is too late," he added with a groan. "Who then poisoned you, King?" "I cannot tell you, Macumazahn.
This mean little human specimen had been newsboy, seller of post cards, opener of cab doors, Jack of any little trade, the companion of pickpockets and other light-fingered gentry, also adored the good manners of bygone vestry days, the polished phrases, the benedictory gestures! When in hospital, chance had given him Hogshead Geoffrey for bed-neighbour.
Now that Malcolm was gone, how was she to learn when Mr Graham would be preaching? "If you please, ma'am," said a humble and dejected voice. She turned and saw the seamed and smoky face of the pew opener, who had been watching her from the lobby, and had crept out after her.
'The Breaker is gone up before us. II. Again, take another application of this same figure found in Scripture, which sets forth Jesus Christ as being the Opener of the path to God. 'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, no man cometh to the Father but by Me, said He. Parts of the divine character are always beautiful and sweet to every human heart when it thinks about them.

He assented very willingly, and at six o'clock he was already so much in the spirit of this free and simple society, so much opener and therefore so much wiser than any other, that he professed a profound disappointment with the two or three Cabinet ladies whose failure to receive brought his pleasure to a premature close. "But I suppose you're going to Mrs. Whittington's to-night!"
Indeed, he laughed at none of Johnnie's ideas, and would listen in the gravest fashion as the boy described a new think-bicycle which had arrived from Wanamaker's just that minute accompanied by a knife with three blades and a can opener. The Father agreed that there were points in favor of a bicycle which took up no room in so small a flat, and required no oiling.
In another moment the door was softly opened, the figure of the opener being lost in the gloom within. On the broken door-step the Doctor hesitated; he was not a timid man, but this all seemed very strange. However, he obeyed the pressure of the hand laid upon his arm, and entered; glancing behind him as he did so, he saw that the carriage had disappeared.
