"What?" demanded Philip. The doctor came down to the last step. "Phil," he whispered, "that fellow we found with a broken head played a nice game on me. He was a criminal, and I've brought back to Fort Smith no less person than the man sent out to arrest him, Corporal Dobson, of the Mounted Police, and his driver, Francois Something-or-Other. Heavens, ain't it funny?"
"But, now, supposing it had been a white man?" "Well, supposing it was?" "We don't need to suppose. There was the same thing happened to a white family. Wife got killed left three children." "Oh, you mean that accident down at Shelby?" "Yes, Mrs. Something-or-other, she was. Well, sir, damn me, if that infernal claim agent didn't have the face to offer fifteen dollars for her, too!"
"There's that funny old couple I mean the man called Fritz Something-or-other and his wife. Surely they're all right?" observed Chester. Paul de Virieu shook his head decidedly. "The Wachners are not nice people," he said slowly. "They appear to be very fond of Mrs. Bailey, I know, but they are only fond of themselves. They are adventurers; 'out for the stuff, as Americans say.
"You trot up to the slaughter-shop, Grim, and interview that Arab Sidi bin Something-or-Other forget his name he lies in number nineteen cot on the left-hand side of the long ward, next to a Pathan who's shy both legs. You can't mistake him. I'll write out a medical certificate for Jeremy and follow. And say; wait a minute! What price the lot of you eating Mabel's chow tonight at our house?
With special complacence she contemplated her cousin Suzette, who was self-consciously but not very elatedly basking in the attentions of her fiance, an earnest-looking young man who was superintendent of a People's something-or-other on the south side of the river, and whose clothes Comus had described as having been made in Southwark rather than in anger.
The inscription must surely be Something-or-other Athletic Club. But what was "Er... om.. oy..."? That question staggered me. Gazing harder at it than ever, I could come to no conclusion. It was the name of a place, no doubt: but what place, I knew not. "Er"? No, "Ber": just a suspicion of a B came round the corner of a fold. If B was the first letter, I might possibly identify it.
"It appeared to have been hastily shoved in there some time. I would have thought that it was a woman’s something-or-other, only I found one of Jack’s cards in the pocket." They all began to laugh—Clover and Mitchell more heartily than the owner of the card. "Sit down," said Mitchell finally with great cordiality. "You may as well sit down while they mess you up some weak tea and wet toast."
And that other man Sir Something-or-other Wright, who said plainly that men cannot work side by side with women because they get excited.... And yet, you know, women have had glimpses of a freedom that was not mischievous. I could have been happy as a Lady Abbess I must have space and dignity, Stephen and those women had things in their hands as no women have things in their hands to-day.
Something-or-other, so our poor man went off sadly to his island and didn't write to her any more. He'd never heard of us, because of course her name isn't Holford. And she'd never heard of his aunt, nor Blue Harbor, nor the island, so of course she didn't know anything about it when we read his letters to her.
One day when they had been hulling corn for nearly a week, Adam sat down and began laughing. "Do you know how much corn it takes to plant an acre?" he asked. "No," said Robin, blankly. "I know something about the number of kernels to the hill, 'one for the cutworm, and one for the crow, and one for something-or-other else, I forget what, and one to grow. Why?"
