"If that old walrus, Pfingst, has dared to send me flowers again!" she cried, pouncing on the card and holding it so they both could read it. Penciled in small, even lines were the words: Sorry to find the lady-bird flown. Will call up in the morning. Even in the dimly lighted hall, Quin could see the flush that suffused Eleanor's face. "It's Harold Phipps," she said, trying to be casual.
Instead, the Master took the envelope, unfolded it and glanced at a word or two that had been written beneath his own scrawl; then he made another penciled addition to the envelope's writing, stuck the twisted paper back into the ring and said "Roberts." Off trotted Bruce on his second trip. "I had forgotten to say which train you'll have to take in the morning," explained the Master.
The dark olive of his complexion, the high cheek-bones, the delicately chiseled, aquiline nose, the perfectly penciled eyebrows surmounting the quick, keen, handsome black eyes; these things combined with the lithe, sinuous grace of an admirably poised body made him a figure of much attraction.
Then he broke down and gave the truth and her penciled order to me." In the silence that followed the soldier of forty and the lad of only twenty-one sat looking gravely into each other's face. It was Armstrong who spoke again: "Gray, it was manly in you to tell me your story and your trouble. I could help you here; but who can help you when you have to tell it next time?"
Carwell had been a member. There were also the names of the household servants, and the dead man's nearest relatives, including his sister and Viola.

But the penciled notes on this one made easy reading. At his first glance he saw, "Correct range, 1,800 yards"; "this stream not fordable"; "slope of hill 15 degrees inaccessible for artillery."
A little before landing I discovered an Irish woman had in her possession a six-quart tin pail of whisky, and a gallon jug that she seemed very careful to keep out of sight under the sofa; I took a seat by her side, and knew I could not be mistaken as to the contents of her pail and jug, and as I understood it was a forbidden article, I penciled on the margin of my official paper to the inspector to look well to the whisky the woman at my side had in her possession.
"How do you like the city in the spring?" was the question; and the word, suggested by Kate's work at the moment, was, "Hem." Bel put her elbows on the table, and her hands up against her ears. Her eyes shone, as they rested intent upon the two penciled bits.
The penciled legend ran across the sheet to include, under its caption a second excerpt, also in "Clarion" print, but of the advertisement style: WANTED Sewing-girls for simple machine work.
