"Someone's been talkin'," he said quietly. "You'd be helpin' to make this case clear if you'd tell who it was." "Someone has talked," she replied; "someone who knows. Why didn't you tell me that you came here to kill Ben? That you were hired by Stafford to do it?" "Why, I didn't, ma'am," he protested, his face paling. "You did!" She stamped one foot vehemently. Ferguson's eyes drooped.
Many a time has Selina said, when she has been going to Bristol, 'I really cannot get this girl to move from the house. I absolutely must go in by myself, though I hate being stuck up in the barouche-landau without a companion; but Augusta, I believe, with her own good-will, would never stir beyond the park paling. Many a time has she said so; and yet I am no advocate for entire seclusion.
"Thank you, I won't drink," said Keith, yet more gravely, his face paling a little, "and I don't care for a cigar." "Come on, Mr. Keith," called some one. The name caught the young bully, and he faced Keith more directly. "Keith? Keith!" he repeated, fastening his eyes on him with a cold glitter in them. "So you're Mr. Keith, are you?" "That is my name," said Keith, feeling his blood tingling.
The park contained about one hundred acres and was surrounded by a high paling about sixteen hundred yards long. At first he had only Virginia deer, but later acquired some English fallow deer from the park of Governor Ogle of Maryland. Both varieties herded together, but never mixed blood.

I had not even inquired whether I had a neighbor, though the Countess' garden was divided from mine by a paling, along which she had planted cypress trees already four feet high.
Stanley Lake did not appear that day; Wylder was glowering and abstracted worse company than usual; and Rachel seemed to have quite passed from his recollection. While Rachel Lake was, as usual, busy in her little garden that day, Lord Chelford, on his way to the town, by the pretty mill-road, took off his hat to her with a smiling salutation, and leaning on the paling, he said
Both trails run through a good farming country, and the former waggon-road would avoid all the dangers and laborious rapids whose wearisome ascent has been described. The Point itself is tragic ground, showing now but a few deserted cabins and some Indian graves one of which had a white paling around it, the others being covered with gray cotton which looked like little tents in the distance.
Sissy looked through and beyond him with fixed, unresponsive gaze, and said never a word. Then, as Mr. Cullum afterward said, "Ole Satan swep' an' garnisheed him an' tuk possession of him." He seized the heavy teacup in front of him and hurled it at his unsuspecting spouse; she gasped, paling slightly, and dodged.
"Come with me, dear child," she said. "My husband comes home dead-tired these hunting days, has some food and stumbles off to bed. I am all alone. We can have the days together. I will write to your Granny that you are paying me a visit. Let us lock up here." Some one paused in the road outside the window to look in, leaning impudently on the green paling.
The sun went down, a ball of molten gold two hours from "town," as I called it. It was past six o'clock. There were no rosy-fingered clouds; just a paling of the blue into white; then a greying of the western sky; and lastly the blue again, only this time dark. A friendly crescent still showed trail and landmarks after even the dusk had died away.
