"He was shot over a game of cards in a gambling-house," replied Frank, hoarsely. Wat Snell and Leslie Gage were roommates, and they certainly made a delectable pair. Gage was naturally the leader, being the worse of the two. He was a daring and reckless sort of fellow one who would not stop at anything, and who would have recourse to almost any measure to gain his ends.
Lazare station at the hour for the departure of the Havre express. He arrived with only a minute to spare before the guard's whistle was answered by the mosquitolike pipe that sets the train in motion. The Botticelli profile was very haughty and cold. Miss Snell was there, of course, bathed in tears.
I was to go on my first mission in the interests of the British Secret Service and subsequently another mission brought me to New York, where I resigned from service permanently. It was in December, 1912, that I again felt the thrill of the old game as I moved about London under the plausible name of "Trenton Snell," engaged in guarding or obtaining state secrets, but this time for a new master.
Gage and Snell were there, but neither of them spoke to Frank. Bart sat into the game immediately, but, to the general surprise, Frank declined. "I am short, and I don't feel like playing to-night," he said. "I've got a book I want to read, and it wasn't possible for me to have a light in quarters, so I came along." He declined all offers of money, and sat down to read the book.
She began to lose her rich complexion, and sometimes looked almost sallow; and a slight circle showed itself under her eyes. These symptoms were unfavorable; nevertheless, Dr. Snell and Mr. Wyman accepted them cheerfully, as fresh indications that nothing was affected but the liver; they multiplied and varied their prescriptions; the malady ignored those prescriptions, and went steadily on.

"He has whirled me wrong end up, and I feel as if I am still twisted." Then the whole play was explained to Gage, who chuckled over it, and complimented Frank on his nerve. For all of this apparent restoration of good feeling, Frank was discerning enough to detect the insincerity of both Snell and Gage. Gage had done his duty as guard, and there was no one on the watch now.
Hiram Look, lately "Widder Snell," appearing as plump, radiant, and roseate as a bride in her honeymoon should appear her color assisted by the caloric of a cook-stove in June put her head out of the buttery window and informed the inquiring Cap'n Aaron Sproul that Hiram was out behind the barn. "Married life seems still to be agreein' with all concerned," suggested Cap'n Sproul, quizzically.
A snell remark of his brother William suggesting some new and comic association with a philosophic term dropped in the course of the discussion, would bring him back with a roar of laughter to the actual world and to more sublunary themes. Once a week during the session a party of six or eight students came to tea at Spence Street, until the whole of his two classes had been gone over.
Ma Pettengill said she must see this here Tilton and this here Snell, and have that two hundred yards of fence built like they had agreed to, as man to man; and no more of this here nonsense of putting it off from day to day. She was going to talk straight to them because, come Thursday, she had to turn a herd of beef cattle into that field.
"Well," said Peter, "I must be goin'." But he did not move. "Well, good night, Peter," said Joshua, encouragingly. "Good night, Mr Snell." "Good night, Peter," said Lilac at length, nodding to him, and this seemed to rouse him, for with sudden energy he hurled himself towards the door and disappeared.
