"Then we'll go back this morning to the waterfall," he said, "and tell it that it's all come right. And now, we'll bow to those crazy people out there, those make-believe dream-people, who don't know that there is nothing real in this world but just you and me, and that we love each other." A dishevelled orderly bearing a tray with two glasses confronted Ranson at the door.
Meanwhile the scientific people had adjourned to the cottage, where warm water and clothes-brushes did a good deal to restore them to their former state, while a cup of tea hurriedly prepared by Mrs Fidler did something toward soothing their shattered nerves. "But really, sir, I think you ought to let me send over to Buildston for Doctor Ranson." "Not for me, Mrs Fidler," said Uncle Richard.
He saw that all he had hoped to do for his daughter by crime would have been done for her by this marriage with Ranson, which would have made her a "lady," made her rich, made her happy. Had it not been for his midnight raids she would have been honored, loved, and envied, even by the wife of the colonel herself. But through him disgrace had come upon her, sorrow and trouble.

Peter saw that his language, if not his thought, was far beyond his old companion's grasp, and he lacked the patience to simplify himself. "Why don't you want to marry us, Parson?" Parson Ranson lifted his brows and filled his forehead with wrinkles. "Well, I dunno.

Cahill crossed the room to the door and, throwing it open, called, "Corporal of the guard!"
