Lee, thinking hurriedly, thought that he saw now the explanation of Judith's ordering a sale like this. Her lawyers had found what Marcia called a "tangle" in Luke Sanford's affairs; there had been an insistent call for a large sum of money to straighten it out, and Judith had accepted the only solution. Still, it didn't seem like Judith to sell like this at a figure so ridiculously low.
But, above all, make him feel that you believe in him, that you're proud of him, and that you've been a fool to make such a humiliating exhibition before him as you did this afternoon." The gathering storm in Stephen Sanford's face did not deter Gorham from finishing his remarks.
Turner, who had narrowly watched these symptoms, determined to test the depth of Miss Sanford's views upon the subject, the revelation might be of interest. "It does seem a pity that Mr. Ray should have done so much to ruin his fine record, does it not, Miss Sanford?" "Ruin it! Mrs. Turner? Pardon me! but you speak of it as though you believed in his guilt, as though you thought him culpable.
Sanford's tone was actually patronizing as he faced McPhail. "I was jokin'. I ain't got my certificate here." "Don't .matter-don't matter. Here's fifteen hundred dollars. Just give us a receipt, and bring the certif. any time. I want to get rid o' this stuff right now." "Say, Jim, we'd like to know jest-jest where this windfall comes from," said Vance as he took his share.
The Frenchman who wrote les absents ont toujours tort was undoubtedly thinking of the field as left in possession of a woman, and that Mrs. Sanford's recital of the trouble was a finished calumny at Marion's expense we are spared the necessity of asserting.
Both Sanford and Eunice were of the sort who wake up wide-awake, and their appearance in the dining-room was always an occasion of merry banter and a leisurely enjoyment of the meal. Aunt Abby, too, was at her best in the morning, and breakfast was served sufficiently early to do away with any need for hurry on Sanford's part.
Sanford's fingers tightened on his whip. "Ho!" coughed the cockney. "See! You there!" Robert Cameron looked up at the shout. The blade shot between the child's head and the kitten and hummed gently, quivering in the wood. "Hi could 'a' cut 'is throat," said Percival so complacently that Sanford boiled.

Joe panted, "Plug the hole from the inside. Sit on it if you have to!" and slammed the door shut. They waited. Sanford's voice came in the ear-phones. It was higher in pitch than it had been. "You fools!" he raged. "It's useless! It's stupid to do useless things! It's stupid to do anything at all " There were sudden scuffling clankings. Joe swung about. The Chief and Sanford were struggling.
