"Let's go into the other room," the miner said carelessly, "and see what Henry's cigars are made out of." They rose and went back to Pollard's office. And Ben Broderick, who had suggested cigars, was the only one of the three men who rolled his own cigarette, rolled it slowly and with deep thoughtfulness.
The judge bowed with his fine-flavoured courtesy. "As I trust you are," he returned graciously. "Well, all I've got to say," put in Tom, as his father finished, "is that it's a shame a confounded shame. What good will Nick's brains do him in old Pollard's store? Old Pollard's a skinflint, anyway, and he cuffed me once when I was a small chap." Nicholas glanced back uncertainly into the shop.
Being in the confessional, I have not forborne to tell the worst of myself; I will not, therefore, hesitate to tell the best. When on that very afternoon I entered Mrs. Pollard's grounds, it was with a resolve to make her speak out, that had no element of weakness in it.
Saymore, the tailor's wife, was not invited, because her husband mended clothes. If he had confined himself strictly to making them, it would have put a different face upon the matter. The landlord of the Mountain House and his lady were invited to Mrs. Sprowle's party. Not so the landlord of Pollard's Tahvern and his lady.
Play of Noah's Flood, in Manly's Specimens of the Pre-Shaksperean Drama, or in Pollard's English Miracle Plays, Moralities and Interludes, or in Belles Lettres Series, sec. 2; L.T. Smith's The York Miracle Plays. Lyly. Endymion, in Holt's English Readings. Marlowe.

Many eyes were upon him as he was shown into the pew. All the town had heard of Tom Pollard's return, but few expected to see him at church that night.
It was nearly dark, on the day following, when the submarine flotilla made its way up Groton Bay. As soon as the craft was at its moorings the "Hastings" was immediately lighter by the going of one passenger. Jacob Farnum went post-haste to the hospital, to inquire after David Pollard's condition. The inventor was in a good deal of pain, yet cheerful.
She liked to extract sympathy from Miss Mitchell, or to arouse Miss Pollard's anxiety. Moreover, it was often a very good excuse for slacking off in her preparation or her practising. One afternoon Merle, coming back to school, met Miss Mitchell by the gate. "I was just looking for you!" said the teacher. "I've arranged an extra hockey practice at three, instead of English language.
All of them might have felt disturbed, however, had they known of one thing that happened. The naval machinists aboard the first submarine boat, the "Pollard," now owned by the United States Government, found something slightly out of order with the "Pollard's" engine that they did not know exactly how to remedy. Sam Truax, hanging around the Basin that Sunday forenoon, was called upon.
The judge removed his glasses, wiped them deliberately on his silk handkerchief, put them on again, and regarded the younger man attentively. "And you wish to go into Jerry Pollard's store?" he inquired. "I think it is the best thing I can do." "The best paying thing, I presume?" "Yes, sir." "Bless my soul!" exclaimed the judge testily.
