And in front, sitting between them and the storm, was a quiet gray dog, his mouth stretched in a capacious yawn: to yawn was to win, and he won. When the worst of the uproar was over, many a glance of triumph was shot first at that one still pack, and then at M'Adam, as he waded through the disorder of huddling sheep. "And wheer's your Wullie noo?" asked Tapper scornfully.
"I hope your husband will find his mare," said Ajax. "We lost fifteen fat steers once, but we never found them." "That's so," observed Mr. Swiggart. "And I wore myself out a-hunting 'em. They was stolen sure." "The wickedness of some folk passes my understanding," remarked Mrs. Tapper. "Well, we're told that the triumphing of the wicked is short, but good Land! Job never lived in this State."
"Then Professor Tapper is wrong?" asked Harry, amazed at the scientist's tone. "I am convinced he is. I shall expose him when we return if we ever do," declared the scientist. A few minutes later they landed on the firm snow and soon a hearty meal of hot canned mutton, vegetables, soup, and even a can of plum pudding, warmed on their stove and washed down with boiling tea, was being disposed of.
Thus the tapper would refuse to watch for the police during a burglary, and call himself a honest man. It is not sufficiently recognised that our race detests to work. If I thought that I should have to work every day of my life as hard as I am working now, I should be tempted to give up the struggle. And the workman early begins on his career of toil.

"'Tis a pity," said some one for the fortieth time that day, "'tis a pity, Mr. Maine, as you ain't got no folks o' your own. Ah, 'tis a pity, sure.
Signalling is so interesting, and on occasion can be so useful, that no apology is needed for introducing signalling apparatus into this book. The apparatus in question is a double-instrument outfit, which enables an operator at either end of the line to cause a "buzzer" or "tapper" to work at the other end when he depresses a key and closes an electric circuit.
I give the story as it was told me, and it was told me for a fact. A man fell from a housetop in the city of Aberdeen, and was brought into hospital with broken bones. He was asked what was his trade, and replied that he was a TAPPER. No one had ever heard of such a thing before; the officials were filled with curiosity; they besought an explanation.
In other words, sir, there is no law under which a wire tapper can be prosecuted." "But it's not a conviction I want, as much as the woman. I want to save her." "Is she a respectable woman?" Durkin felt that his look was answer enough. "Is she a frequenter of poolrooms?" Durkin hesitated, this time, and weighed his answer. "I don't think so." "She's not a frequenter?" "No!"
Bob Sawyer looked expressively at his friend, and bade the tapper come in; whereupon a dirty, slipshod girl in black cotton stockings, who might have passed for the neglected daughter of a superannuated dustman in very reduced circumstances, thrust in her head, and said 'Please, Mister Sawyer, Missis Raddle wants to speak to you.
