"I did not help at all." "Miss Loder my secretary at the office came down to help me," said Owen easily. "She is used to the work, you see, and does it excellently." "I see." The kindly eyes had seen Ton's flush. "Well, no doubt Mrs. Rose is satisfied to inspire your work and let others do the manual labour. The power behind the throne, eh, Mrs. Rose?
He threw a ton's weight of resolve upon his muscles, and drew back the door. The faint, foggy daylight glimmered dimly on the bare floor and stairs; on the bright suit of armor posted, halbert in hand, upon the landing; and on the dark wood carvings and framed pictures that hung against the yellow panels of the wainscot.
If we should seek an emblem for King David's smooth, round stone which he flung at Goliath, we should call it the truth for the truth never fails to reach the mark. Austen's opening was not long, his words simple and not dramatic, but he seemed to charge them with something of the same magnetic force that compelled people to read and believe "Uncle Ton's Cabin" and the "Song of the Shirt."
But my fingers clawed wildly and caught in the links of what must have been the anchor chain. They held, though a ton's weight seemed to be tugging at my feet ...

I heard a voice cry out sharply, and a hand helped me to my feet.
The doctor thought there must be great liability to accident, but Thorwald said: "No, we do not consider the risk worth taking into account. Let me illustrate with a familiar example.

"Suppose we adjourn to Fish Lane, and rattle the ivories! What say you, Mr. Lobkins?" Afraid of the "ton's stern laugh, which scarce the proud philosopher can scorn," and not being very partial to dancing, Paul assented to the proposition; and a little party, consisting of Harry Finish, Allfair, Long Ned, and Mr.

Now, when you begin firing, it is my duty to run and pick up the wire ends and attach them to the rings. Then, you see, we have the body of the thermosaurus full of bullets, every bullet anchored to the shore by tiny wires, each of which could easily hold a ton's strain.

"It must be a great relief to you all to have it over." "Immense! Father looks as if a ton's weight had been taken off his mind. Now I hope we shall have a little peace."
As Tom walked away home, it seemed as though a ton's weight of gloom had been rolled away from his soul. The next day he and Parson Jones were to go treasure-hunting together; it seemed to Tom as though he could hardly wait for the time to come. The next afternoon Parson Jones and Tom Chist started off together upon the expedition that made Tom's fortune forever.
It has whiled away the time here, and I can thank the Lord with all my heart, that my head and hands are uninjured!" "How did it happen?" asked Roy. "I'm afraid I excavated too far and was in the midst of unearthing a large boulder of stone when I remembered no more it took me so sudden, and when I came to life again I thought I was in my bed at home with a ton's weight on my feet.
