Three more unpleasant-looking ruffians could hardly have been imagined. Worsley produced several safety-pins from some corner of his garments and effected some temporary repairs that really emphasized his general disrepair. Down we hurried, and when quite close to the station we met two small boys ten or twelve years of age. I asked these lads where the manager's house was situated.
For, I goes on, 'if you said I might come and see you, the earls might be belted or suspendered, or pinned up with safety-pins, as far as I am concerned. "'I must not talk to you, she says, 'because we have not been introduced. It is not exactly proper. So I will say good-bye, Mr. "'Say the name, says I. 'You haven't forgotten it. "'Pescud, says she, a little mad.
Lamson knew everybody in the county. "Nothing here," taking off his spectacles conclusively. "I didn't think there was," said the other complacently.

He chafed with impatience and drummed his foot upon the floor. But the cab slowed down at last and pulled up. In an instant Douglas Stone was out, and the Smyrna merchant's toe was at his very heel.
