They heard the footsteps of a man following them who seemed to keep in the shadow, but took no heed, since they set him down as some wretched thief who would never dare to attack three armed men. It did not occur to them that this was none other than the notary Basil, clad in a new robe, who for purposes of his own was spying upon their movements.
"Oh, come on, then!" laughed Betsy; "you will be better than nobody." Then it was Johnnie the Widow's choice: "Maimie St. Clair." Maimie hesitated and looked at her aunt, who said, "Yes, go, my dear, if you would like." "Marget Aird!" cried Betsy, spying Marget and her brothers coming down the road. "Come along, Marget; you are on my side on Don's side, I mean."
She was accustomed to people keeping an eye on her and using her neighbors as a spying ground. A few days afterwards the news ran round the neighborhood that the farmer had begun to take notice of his illegitimate child not altogether with a good will perhaps. Maren was supposed to have had a hand in the arrangement.
"Lady Blanche is her name, and she be a cousin of Sir John's. She do come, they say, from France, and do speak only in the tongue of that country." "I I suppose that this this Lady Blanche and and Sir John are very good friends? Did you did you often see them together?" asked Dorothy. She felt guilty in questioning Jennie for the purpose of spying upon her lover.
"I might have known you would be spying on us, Miss Picolet," she said, bitingly. "Suppose some of us should play the spy on you, Miss Picolet, and should run to Mrs. Tellingham with what we might discover?"

Then I hurried on, you may be sure, hoping it was meant for me, to grab the thing before any one else could appear and lay hands on it." "Well?" "Luckily I'd outridden the guide.

Tied up in the silk handkerchief an Arab-looking handkerchief was a string of amber beads.
Radbury told the other that the only way he could settle up was by calling again, which was the usual Texan method of rounding out such hospitality. "I've a good mind to lock up," remarked Dan, as he reached the dooryard. "I don't like this idea of Indians spying about." "Oh, come on," interrupted Ralph. "We won't be gone long, and no Indian could do much in such a short time."
One of the scraps of practical wisdom gained by hardened sufferers is, to keep from spying at horizons when they drop into a pleasant dingle.

"You've no claim on her," Rhoda burst forth weakly, and quivered, and turned her eyes supplicatingly on Robert. Dahlia was a statue of icy fright. "You've thrown her off, man, and sold what rights you had," said Robert, spying for the point of his person where he might grasp the wretch and keep him off. "That don't hold in law," Sedgett nodded.
"Well, it's even possible that in their furious preoccupation they let the schooner come close without spying her. Ah, Captain, you can hardly imagine you, fresh from a civilized country, where folks must keep up appearances, while they prey upon one another how this lust of gold brutalizes a man when, as here, he pursues it without restraint.
