And from it fell many shafts winged with gold, and darts, lances and heavy clubs, and other similar weapons, and battle-axes, and scimitars washed with oil, and axes of blazing edges, and spears, and spiked maces emitting shining rays, and beautiful maces of iron, and long darts of keen points, and heavy maces decked with gold and twined round with string's, and Sataghnis, all around.
"C-c-can't make 'em hang," lamented Montgomery, after a few moments' unsuccessful effort. "Course not. That string's too light. Wait. I'll fetch something," said Katharine, as decorator in charge. Then she sped into the house and borrowed Susanna's clothes-line. "My clothes-line, child? What on earth for?" "Oh, you'll see sometime. I sha'n't hurt it!" returned the eager girl, skipping away.
And so in studying his life, though at times we may wish that to his practical intelligence were added the fervid insight of Jonathan Edwards, who was his only intellectual equal in the colonies, or the serene faith of an Emerson, who was born "within a kite string's distance" of his birthplace in Boston, yet in the end we are borne away by the wonderful openness and rectitude of his mind, and are willing to grant him his high representative position.
"The string's gone!" broke out Riley, after feeling up and down the tree for some half a minute. What could have become of it? They had been so near the sidewalk all the time that no one could have passed without their seeing him. The next day, at noon-time, when Susan Lanham brought out her lunch, it was tied with Pewee's new top-string, the best one in the school.
From out the gray dusk ahead appeared the shadowy outline of a rugged promontory jutting far out into the sea. "Keep close in, Tom. Our last string's dead ahead, off Peeble Beach. When you get around the point swing on the outside of Coward Rocks and give her all she'll stand." She walked slowly about the deck with her eyes fixed on the wave-washed shore-line.
He also had a feeling that he ought to justify that distrust, that in a way it was up to him. So he continued to eavesdrop. String's tones were low, and did not come to Whitey distinctly. This was unfortunate in one way, but fortunate in another, for had the men been nearer they probably would have seen the boy.
"It's your fault, anyhow," said Gerald with every possible absence of gallantry. "Don't you see? It's turned into a wishing ring. I knew something different was going to happen. Get my knife out of my pocket this string's in a knot. Jimmy, Cathy, those Ugly-Wuglies have come alive because Mabel wished it. Cut out and pull them to pieces."
"You'll soon have the chance; I've sent for the police." Tommy changed his tone. "Please, Clare, let me go," he whined. "I will not. I did what I could for you before, and I'll do what I can for you now. You must go with the police." Tommy began to blubber, or pretend Clare could not tell which. "This beastly string's a cuttin' into me!" he sobbed. Clare examined it, and found it easy enough.
