When we are considering popular libraries, it does not do to expect too much of tired human nature. This popular kind of library was well represented perhaps a little over-represented, at the Conference. All our American cousins are not Cutters and Pooles. There was Mr. Crunden, who keeps the public library at St. Louis, U.S.A. He is all against dull text-books.
Peason which our countreymen haue sowen in the time of May, haue come vp faire, and bene gathered in the beginning of August, of which our Generall had a present acceptable for the rarenesse, being the first fruits comming vp by art and industrie in that desolate and dishabited land. Lakes or pooles of fresh water, both on the tops of mountaines and in the valies.
Best have only one of the Pooles in it; take Amos. He shall wear a mask and be the bold rescuer; he shall open the cell door, whisper 'Mitchell' to Johnson, and help him escape. Once out, without taking off his mask, Amos can hide Johnson somewhere. I leave you to perfect these details. Then, after discarding his mask, Poole can give the alarm.
The land is fashioned as it were halfe a circle, all compassed about with sand like a ditch, ouer which as farre as ones eye can stretch, there is nothing but marrish grounds and standing pooles. And before you come to the first Cape very neere the maine land there are two little Ilands.
With steady hands Miriam turned the closely-written sheets reading a phrase here and there... "regularly in the seat behind us at All Saints' for months saw her with the Pooles at a concert at the Assembly Rooms and made up his mind then the moment he saw her joined the tennis-club they won the double handicap a beautiful Slazenger racquet only just over sixteen for years of course Mother says it's just a little foolish nonsense but I am not sure that she really thinks so Gerald took me into his confidence made a solemn call admirably suited to each other rather a long melancholy good-looking face they look such a contrast the big Canadian Railway not exactly a clerk something rather above that, to do with making drafts of things and so on.
He telephoned a hurry call to a restaurant, Brooks, the jailer, being plainly incapable of furnishing breakfast. Then he turned to Pete. "What is this, Johnson? A plant?" Pete's nose quivered. "Sure! It was a plant from the first. The Pooles were hired to set upon me. This one was sent, masked, to tell me to break out.
Neither doe we thinke that they partaking of the East world round about them, are altogether voyd of drugs and spicery, and other riches of golde, seeing the colour of the land doth so much argue it. And the land is full of many beastes, as Stags, Deere and Hares, and likewise of Lakes and Pooles of fresh water, with great plentie of Fowles, conuenient for all kinde of pleasant game.
Her eyes were always roving round.... There were a lot of people like that.... It was all right when you wanted anything or to to "create a diversion" when everybody was quarrelling. But at the wrong times it was awful.... The Radnors and Pooles were like that. She could have killed them often. "Hullo, Mim," they would say.
He reached the grave-yard, walking for the most part as in a terrible dream, among strange distorted shapes of men and women, the houses tottering black on either hand, and ever that anvil-beat of the blood at his temples. Then of a sudden his wooden limb slipped, and he fell to the ground. He was precisely in front of the Pooles' house. A woman just passing, who happened to know Mrs.
He'll be out there in no time, making you trouble. That old goat looks as if he might butt." Mitchell smiled. "That's only half my plan. The jailer is also one of your handy men. I'll furnish you plenty of money for the Pooles and for the jailer enough to make it well worth their while. Contrive a faked rescue of Johnson. The jailer can be found trussed up and gagged, to-morrow about midnight.
