"I didn't think any one much came there, except us," said Rob, as the Flying Fish headed away from the wharf and began to cut through the waters of the inlet. "Oh, yes; there's others," responded the old man. "That Jack Curtiss lad and his two chums are out there quite often." "Bill Bender and Sam Redding, I suppose you mean," said Tubby. "Those their names?" asked the captain.
"Lord, you ought to have seen them run! Servants, neighbours, friends they all skedaddled, and you couldn't have driven them back with a steam-roller! I telegraphed to Redding for a nurse. Until she came Mrs. Orde stayed by, like a brick. Don't know what I should have done without her. There was nobody to do anything at all. As soon as the nurse came Mrs. Orde gave up her post.
He spent the last of his ready money in buying out the dilapidated furniture of his predecessor; and then with the assistance of the janitor's wife, who gave him his breakfast and did what she called "redding up the place," he began to live on the slim salary that his new job gave him.

Then he deliberately turned his back on "The Greatest Extravaganza of the Century," and centered his attention on the parquet group.
Then he went to a carpenter over in Redding an' showed him the plans with the figures writ on 'em an' asked him if he'd put up the houses. The carpenter figured an' said he'd be switched if he'd do it for any such price. So the Colonel he goes to another feller with like results.
