Affectionataly your brother. "Herman." He pocketed the letter and went into the bedroom to get a coat and vest for the prisoner. Miss Erith looked at Vaux.
Herbert was about to say that this would do, but the policeman shook his head. "Won't do," said he. "Come along." After a little haggling, Greenleaf produced forty dollars, which Herbert pocketed, with much satisfaction. "Now go along, and mind you don't try any more such games." Greenleaf needed no second permission to be gone.
The man looked down from the scaffolding on which he stood, recognized the questioner, turned again to his work, and at last answered, with a scowl, "Yes, I suppose so.

The sound itself would scarcely have awakened a hope of anything unusual in the minds of the inexperienced; but, combined with the guide's aspect as he pocketed his pipe, it made Cyrus and his comrades sit suddenly erect, listening as if ears were the only organs they possessed.
