"I do not know about that," said the Mistress of the House; "he should have gone in boldly." "Excuse me," said John Gayther, "but I think not. This was a very important moment. Nobody knew what would happen. She must not be shocked by seeing a stranger.
'twas Sam's gun broke the city's record, last week, for rapid firing! Funny, isn't it! Excuse me, I must speak to those ladies." The ladies, never prettier, were Mrs. Callender and Constance. They were just reentering, from a shop, their open carriage. In amiable reproach they called him a stranger, yet with bewitching resignation accepted and helped out his lame explanations.
"It wouldn't be good for Molly." And though she did not say it, it would not be good for him to leave the struggle for any length of time.

I determined, at any rate, to make the attempt; reentering the call-box, I asked for the bank's number. There proved to be a resident messenger, who, after a time, replied to my call. He knew Nayland Smith very well by sight, and as he had been on duty in the public office of the bank at the time that Smith should have arrived, he assured me that my friend had not been there that day!
He knew that the Indians would not wait until dark before reëntering the break between the mountains, and confident that they would soon appear he began mixing up flour and water for their usual batch of hot-stone biscuits. So intent was he upon his task that he did not see a shadowy form creeping up foot by foot from the rocks.
