"We're modest folk, and nobody was anxious to write himself down the leader." "I see!" said Hayes. "I don't know if you're modest; but you're certainly cautious." "Anyhow, we're aw in this," said one of the others. "So it seems. I hope you won't lose your money," Hayes rejoined dryly and took out a fountain pen. "Well, here's your receipt, Mr. Railton.
Railton abetting him, who, discontented with the dullness and conservatism of the Christian Mission, drove the Reverend William Booth, an ex-Methodist minister preaching repentance in the slums, to fling restraint of every kind to the winds and to go in for religion as if it were indeed the only thing in the world that counted. William Booth at that time was forty-nine years of age.
Sanderson has taken me for one or two excursions. Curiously enough, I thought I saw John Railton yesterday upon the Apollo Bund. I was probably mistaken, but at the time it caused me no surprise that he should still be here, since I forgot the interval of three months in my memory.
Now it looked as if her household treasures must be sold, and to leave Mireside would mean the tearing up of roots that had struck deep. Besides, while she would suffer it would hurt her husband worse. When Kit came in she gave him a keen glance. "Weel, what had Miss Osborn to say?" "She didn't say much; I think she means to talk to Osborn." Railton looked up gloomily.
"Counting in the lambs and ewes fra Swinset?" "They are counted," Hayes replied. "I'll give you particulars of the different lots." He read out some figures and then turned to the group by the fire. "I think we are all agreed?" "Aw, yis," said one. "It's as near as yan can mak' it, withoot sending flock to auction." Hayes turned to Railton. "Are you satisfied?" "We willunt fratch.
It's weel you ken." "Then, can you give security for the debt?" "I canna and wadn't give it if I could.

"Hoad on a minute!" said one of the group, who turned to Railton. "Would you like to stop?"
A great number of petitions were presented against this measure, and so many difficulties raised, that both parties agreed to lay it aside. In the course of this inquiry, they discovered that one Railton held a grant in trust for Mr. Montague, chancellor of the exchequer. A motion was immediately made, that he should withdraw; but passed in the negative by a great majority.
Simon, we learn, is a scholar," pursued my uncle, after again consulting the letter, "and I see the word 'office' here, which makes it likely that he was a clerk of some kind, who took to the sea for some purpose of his own, and induced Railton to go with him, perhaps for the same purpose, perhaps for another.
I cried, "she was Janet Railton Claire Luttrell; and you murdered her father as you say Amos Trenoweth murdered yours." "Right," he answered coolly. "Quite right. Oh, the arts by which I enticed that man to drink and then to crime! Even now I could sit and laugh over them by the hour.
"I explained the reasons of the captain's reluctance, and offered him a share of my cabin if Captain Dodge would consent to be burdened with Railton's company. "'Oh, for that matter, replied he, 'Railton can follow; but he's a handy fellow, and I daresay would make himself useful without payment.
