"He and I have had dealings," said Norman. "He understood at once. I always know my way when I'm dealing with a big man. It's only the little people that are muddled and complex. I hope you'll not forget this lesson, Billy." "I shan't," promised Tetlow. "We are to be partners," pursued Norman. "We shall be intimately associated for years.
Then, over Tetlow's shoulder he saw on the marble-topped center table Dorothy's hat and jacket, the one she had worn away, the only one she had. He stared at them, then at Tetlow. A confused look in the fat, slow face made him say sharply: "What does this mean, Tetlow?" "Not so loud, Fred," said Tetlow, closing the door into the public hall. "She's in the bedroom probably asleep.
Then he told about the big snowball, and mentioned how he had come to suspect Bert. "But Bert tells me," went on Mr. Tetlow, "that you saw him lending his knife to Jimmie Belton last night. May I ask you, is that so?" "Why, yes, it is," said the aged man slowly. "I'll tell you how it was." He nodded at Bert in a friendly way, and there was a twinkle in his deep-set eyes.
"I hope all the poor children in our school have enough to eat," said Freddie. "Mr. Tetlow said for us to bring what we could for them." "And you never told me!" exclaimed Mrs. Bobbsey. "Why didn't you? I would have sent something." Neither Bert nor Nan had thought to mention at home that a collection would be taken it the school for the poor families in the town.

"Ay, let it be me, I implore of you, fair queen," interposed Nicholas. "He is engaged already," observed Richard Assheton, coming forward. "I heard him ask pretty Mistress Tetlow, the farmer's wife, to dance with him this evening at the Abbey." A loud laugh from those around followed this piece of information, but Nicholas was in no wise disconcerted.
When Norman was about at the end of all his resources Tetlow called on him Tetlow, now a partner in the Lockyer firm. He came with an air of stealth. "I don't want anyone to know I'm doing this," said he frankly. "If it got out, I'd be damaged and you'd not profit."
I'll stake you to the extent of a thousand dollars a month for the next six months, you to keep on as you are and not to tie yourself up to any other lawyer, or to any client likely to hamper us if we get the Galloway business." "I've been borrowing right and left " "I know about that," interrupted Tetlow. "I'm not interested. If you'll agree to my proposal, I'll take my chances."

When he went to bed that night he was resolved to have Tetlow find Miss Hallowell a job in another office. "She certainly is uncanny," he said to himself.
"It shoots long sticks, like arrows, and I had lost one of my best ones, so on the way home I cut another. Then just before Mr. Carford gave us the ride, Jimmie came along and asked me to lend him my knife. I said I would as soon as I had finished making my arrow. I did finish it in the sled and I gave him my knife just before we got out." Mr. Tetlow looked inquiringly at Mr.
To-morrow will be a holiday, and, as the weather is very warm, we will close the school at noon, and go off in the woods for a little picnic." "Oh, good!" cried a number of the boys and girls, and, though it was against the rules to speak aloud during the school hours, none of the teachers objected.
