Rayburn, we are indebted to you." "Surely not?" "Surely yes! It was at your valuable suggestion that I thought of inviting my sister-in-law to visit me at St. Sallins. Ah, you remember it now. Forgive me if I look at my watch; the dinner hour is on my mind. Not, as your dear little daughter there seems to think, because I am greedy, but because I am always punctual, in justice to the cook.
He kept his gun steadily trained on the Wondership. "Move an' I'll bust yer!" he said grimly. A buggy drove out of the yard. It raced through the gate and then struck the highroad leading to Rayburn.

I'm wasting time, and I want my trout, and thymallus, my grayling, for man must eat, and it's very nice to eat trout and grayling, boy. Be off! I've quite done with you."

"You wouldn't," he said. "But I say, Master Mark, think old Purlrose will haunt me?" "Bah!" ejaculated Mark. "There, come along; I want to get home and let Master Rayburn do something to my bit of a wound. It hurts so I can hardly walk." "Here, let me carry you, Master Mark. Pig-a-back. I can."
