The document was signed by Dale and witnessed by Doc Coffin and Honey Hoke: The sheriff held the paper out to Chuck Morgan. "This Dale's signature, Chuck?" Chuck Morgan examined the signature closely and long. "Looks like it," he said, hesitatingly. "It's his signature, all right," spoke up Honey Hoke. "I saw him sign it." "Me, too," said Doc Coffin. "Paper's dated to-day," said the sheriff.
Here is an extract from the paper's account of the speech: "Evidence that early men climbed trees with their feet lies in the way we wear the heels of our shoes more at the outside. A baby can wiggle its big toe without wiggling its other toes an indication that it once used its big toe in climbing trees."
There are degrees of culpability and some are disposed to hold an editorial writer guiltless even when they visit condemnation upon the secret director of the paper's policy. I present to you a different and I believe higher ideal of journalism.
The Odell-Carneys looked at each other in wonder and perplexity. "What does it mean?" asked the lady, her eyes narrowing. "Look here, Agatha, this paper's at least two days old. Now, how the devil can Medcroft be in London and Innsbruck at the same time. He was here day before yesterday, wasn't he? I'm so c'nfended unobserving " "Yes, yes, he was here. And this paper " She paused irresolutely.
Oh, I knew well enough that patience would coax a flame from those twigs without my paper's aid, but to be patient does not afford the posturing which youth loves. So it was a comfort to wreck all magnificently: and I knew that, too, as we three drew back upon the western bank and watched the writhing twigs splutter and snap and burn.
"That's what he got me here for. However, I don't really believe he can. I'm eating up what should be the paper's legitimate profits. And yet" he smiled radiantly "there are times when I don't see how I'm going to get along with what I have. It's pretty absurd, isn't it, to feel pinched on fifty thousand a year, when I did so well at Manzanita on sixty a month?"
Gin the writers had been minded to be beknown, they'd ha' sign't their names upon the document. An' gin they didna sae intend, wad it be coorteous o' me to gang speiring an' peering ower covers an' seals?" "But where is the cover?" "Ou, then," he went on, with the same provoking coolness, "white paper's o' geyan use, in various operations o' the domestic economy.
"I've got five hundred that isn't doing a stitch of work," declared Wainwright. "Some of my relations have wads of money," suggested young Denton. "I wouldn't wonder if " "No, no, no!" cried Hal, in a shaken voice. "I know how well you fellows mean it. But " "As a loan," said Wainwright hopefully. "The paper's good enough security." "Not good enough," replied Hal firmly. "I can't take it, boys.
These dismal productions had first brought the Clarion to Mr. Flint's notice. He used to snigger at sight of the paper. He said it made him sure the dead walked. He cut out all those lugubrious and home-made verses and pasted them in a big black scrapbook. He had a fashion of strolling down to the paper's office and snipping out all such notices and poems from its country exchanges. A more ghoulish and fearsome collection than he acquired I never elsewhere beheld. It was a taste which astonished me. Sometimes he would gleefully read aloud one which particularly delighted him: "A Christian wife and offspring seven Mourn for John Peters who has gone to heaven. But as for him we are sure he can weep no more, He is happy with the lovely angels on that bright shore."
Lift thee head, lad, and look at me. They are thy own!... Yon blue paper's my last will and testament, made many a year back by Mr. Brown, of Green Street, Solicitor, and a very nice gentleman too; and witnessed by his clerks, two decent young chaps, and civil enough, but with too much watchchain for their situation. Jack March, my son, I have left thee maester of Dovecot and all that I have.
