Shakingly, Matilda held out a sheet of paper. Shakingly, but without turning to face her visitors, Mrs. De Peyster took it. There was enough light to see that the letter was written on heavy paper embossed at the top with a flag and "S.S. Plutonia," and was dated the evening she had supposedly gone on board. The note read:
She had broken off to thump his shoulder in reassurance, to cling more abjectly. It was then she had wept, shakingly, in a vast impatience with herself for trying to reason. "It is true! It is true it's true, it's true!" she had told him with piteous vehemence, then wilted again to his support, one hand stroking his dusty cheek.
His head was toward me, and I reached out shakingly and touched his face. It was cold, and my hand, when I drew it back, was covered with blood. I was sure he was dead. He did not move, and when I caught his hands and called him frantically, he did not hear me. And so, with the horror over me, I half fell down the stairs and roused Jim in the studio.
"Wha what do you want?" asked the boy, shakingly. "Come here, you silly boy!" commanded Ruth. "Do you want to get your death of cold?" "Come down here at once! And don't fall, for pity's sake," was Ruth's warning, as the boy's foot slipped. "My goodness! you haven't any shoes on and no cap and just that thin coat. Curly Smith! you'll be down sick after this."
"Myra Nell! You're safe!" he cried, shakingly. "What have they done to you?" She smiled piteously and shook her dark head. "You were good to come. I am a prisoner." "A prisoner!" Norvin stared at the young men about him. "Come on," he said, "let's get her out!" But Murray Logan quieted him. "It's no use, old man." "What d'you mean?" "You can't go in." "Can't go in?"

"Marry you here now?" he asked shakingly.
Under the first flap she inserted her fingers and drew forth the wrinkled scrap of paper she had picked up on the sands. A glance at the blurred writing assured her that it was the same as that of the hermit's scenario. "Flash: "As in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be " Shakingly Ruth sat down before the cheap little maple table.
Shakingly they asked what we wanted, adding that they had not a piece of silver or yet a string of cash left. The Boxers had taken everything weeks before; now honourable foreign soldiery were beating them because they were so poor. My men did not trouble to answer; they went to work.
An arc of light swept shakingly across the floor, as one of the men turned his torch toward it. But I saw no sign of Toto. "Lester, you and Simmonds come with me," Godfrey added, stepped back into the hall, and tapped at the door of Miss Vaughan's bedroom. There was no response, and he tapped again.
