"Nothin' like burnin' wood to look hot and comf'table, is there? It don't always make you feel that way that's why I put in hot water heat but for looks and sociableness you can't beat a log fire. Smoke, do you?" "Yes. Occasionally. But, Captain Warren " "Here, try that. It's a cigar the Judge gave me over to Ostable. He smokes that kind reg'lar, but if you don't like it, throw it away.
She remembered what Mrs. Bailey had said after a week's visit in Bayport, which is fourteen miles from Ostable. "I think everybody enjoys a change of air," she observed. "My soul and body!" exclaimed Mr. Hamilton. Captain Shad looked down at his small passenger. "How old are you, sis?" he demanded. "I'm seven. But I ain't a sis; I haven't got any brothers or sisters." "Oh!
It was not as bad as might have been, but it was bad enough. Lawyer Peabody wired that Captain Cyrus Whittaker was at his home in Ostable, sick in bed, and threatened with pneumonia. Captain Cy, hurrying homeward in response to the attorney's former telegram, had reached Boston the day of the blizzard. He had taken the train for Bayport that afternoon.
Everything you have had for the past two years their money has paid for and you may be absolutely certain they never have grudged a penny of it. The last time I saw Captain Gould he was glorying in having the smartest and best girl in Ostable County. And Mr. Hamilton " She interrupted him. "Don't, please!" she said chokingly.

Be still, both of you, and I'll tell you all about it." She did tell them, beginning with her meeting with Mr. Green at the Howe dinner, then of her stop at Ostable and the interview with Baxter.
He was over seventy now, and behind his back Ostable folks referred to him as "old Judge Baxter"; but although his spectacles were stronger than at that time, his mental faculties were not perceptibly weaker, and he walked with as firm, if not so rapid, a stride.
I have spent a good deal of time at the recorder's office in Ostable doing that very thing. And I discovered that there was such a flaw; that Mrs. Barnes did not legally own that land upon which her house stands. And, as the land was not hers, the house was not hers either." Holliday Kendrick struck the desk a thump with his fist. "Good!" he cried. "Good enough!
What a foolhead I am! The doctor said you needed rest and quiet, and Washin'ton is about as quiet as the Ostable Cattle Show. Well, what do you say to the White Mountains?" "In winter? No, Daniel, if I went anywhere I should like to go to to " "Where, Serena? Just name it and I'll buy the tickets." "Daniel, I'd rather go to Trumet than anywhere else." Captain Dan could scarcely believe it.
When I had time to look at that shover man he was a cable's length from high-tide mark, settin' down and grippin' a bunch of beach grass as if he was afeard the sand was goin' to slide from under him; and you never seen a yallerer, more upset critter in your born days. "Well, I got the ark anchored, after a fashion, and then we walked up to the South Ostable tavern.
Denboro!" the conductor picked up his lantern and hurried away, the locomotive whistled hoarsely, and the train hiccoughed alongside another little station. Mr. Graves, peering through his window, imagined that here the silhouettes on the platform moved more briskly. They seemed almost excited.
