Dismissing the taxi, he turned to the uniformed attendant, who stood surveying the weather-tanned six-footer with some respect. Judging by his clothes, the new arrival looked as if he had done some traveling. "Is Miss Murdock in?" "I'll see, sir. Who shall I say?" "Mr. Madison." Airily, he added: "Miss Murdock expects me."
Once a bull-elk, nearly a six-footer, but he loomed large as an elephant, came clacking past between the ranked tree-boles, stopping a moment to straddle a sapling and browse; while the wolverine, sitting motionless and wide-legged, watched him. Once a lynx, with its eternal, set grin, floated by, half-seen, half-guessed, as if a wisp of wood mist had broken loose and was floating about.
After which the six-footer comes into action and is much admired. In all these proceedings Mr. Guppy has so slight a part, except when he gives his evidence, that he is moved on like a private individual and can only haunt the secret house on the outside, where he has the mortification of seeing Mr. Smallweed padlocking the door, and of bitterly knowing himself to be shut out.
Undoubtedly Paul Burns would have scorned to draw back, for he was a "hero of romance;" an enthusiast of the deepest dye, with an inquiring mind, a sanguine disposition, and a fervent belief in all things great and good and grand. He was also a six-footer in his socks, a horse in constitution, a Hercules in frame, with a hook nose and a hawk eye and a strong jaw and all the rest of it.
Dicky Donovan was of that rare type of man who has the keenest desire to know all things, good or evil, though he was fastidious when it came to doing them. He had a gift of keeping his own commandments. If he had been a six-footer and riding eighteen stone if he hadn't been, as Fielding often said, so "damned finicky," he might easily have come a cropper.

Don't trouble any more about the carpet; I'll manage it for you. What's the good of a great lumbering six-footer if he can't manage a little job like that!
"Jock McChesney, if I thought that you meant half of what you've said to-night about honor, and ethics, and all that, I'd " "Spank me, I suppose," said the young six-footer. "No," and all the humor had fled, "I Jock, I've never said much to you about your father. But I think you know that he was what he was to the day of his death.
First among them came the men of the Cristobal Colon, and these were the best looking of all the captives. From their pretty fair average the others varied to worse and worse, till a very scrub lot, said to be ex-convicts, brought up the rear. They were nearly all little fellows, and very dark, though here and there a six-footer towered up, or a blond showed among them.
I asked him if he did, and you should have seen his eyes shine, and he wanted English at that, and beamed all over his face at a heap of illustrated magazines. So I was able to send him away happy. The result was, early the next morning two more of them arrived a tall six-footer, and a smaller chap. It was Sunday morning, and they had real, smiling Sunday faces on.
I cherish the opinion you'll, perhaps, be warm enough." Bill's voice had unconsciously passed into a sterner tone. Hi was on his feet and at the door. "This here interview is private AND confidential," said Bill to his partner. "Exactly," said Hi, opening the door.
