Apart from any other trouble, Thornton did not like the prospect and, away from Helena now, his face was serious. He cranked the engine no result. He tried it again with equal futility then, going to the tool-box, he took out his electric flashlight, and, lifting the engine hood, began to peer into the machinery. Everything seemed all right.
She was still awake in the morning, when Celestine unlocked the kitchen door and came in to light the fire. Victor, with hammer and nails and scraps of scantling, was patching a corner of one of the galleries. Mariequita sat near by, dangling her legs, watching him work, and handing him nails from the tool-box. The sun was beating down upon them.
I saw what he suspected now, and caught the contagion of his suppressed excitement. Neither of us spoke. But Raffles had taken out the portable tool-box that he called a knife, and always carried, and as he opened the gimlet he handed me the club he held. Instinctively I tucked the small end under my arm, and presented the other to Raffles. "Hold him tight," he whispered, smiling.
When this dried it became as hard as horn, and very much stronger; the extreme contraction held the work together like a vice, and my rifle was perfectly restored. A traveller in wild countries should always preserve sundry treasures that will become invaluable, such as strips of crocodile skin, the hide of the iguana, &c. which should be kept in the tool-box for cases of need.
Two sighed for the hand of Daisy, the unphilosophical. One was Joe, who kept the smallest store in New York. It was about the size of a tool-box of the D. P. W., and was stuck like a swallow's nest against a corner of a down-town skyscraper. Its stock consisted of fruit, candies, newspapers, song books, cigarettes, and lemonade in season.
Then he got up, and went to his tool-box. She watched him open it, seeing him in a new light which encompassed him with even greater love. "If I tell him to-night," she thought, "it will make him still more anxious about leaving me. Perhaps he would refuse to go, and he must go. I will not tell him till he comes back." The resolution not to speak was like taking hold of a piece of iron in frost.
I dropped it in the tool-box of Cora's car. I was mean to do it, for I thought it might make a mix-up and add to the joke." Jack murmured something inaudible, and Cora shot a warning glance at her brother. "Yes, it was a poor joke," admitted Sid weakly, "but I've learned a lesson.
It was of the lovely, violent red of certain jelly-beans she had known, and she caught the most tantalizing, cavernous glimpses whenever he grinned. "Yassuh," said his master, "go at once and get a piece of plain white satin for Mr. Schlorge to stand on. You'll find a bolt in the tool-box." Yassuh scrambled off down the path. All this time Schlorge had been in an agony of impatience.
The money-bag was heavily laden with change small in value but large in coin. The box of matches was with it and the knife. String, nails, my prayer-book, a pencil, some writing-paper, the handbook, and a more useful hammer than the one in my tool-box filled another pocket. Some gooseberries and a piece of cake were in my trousers, and I carried the tool-box in my hands.
"Well," he said, "we don't know whether they would or not, because we can't ask them now." "They wouldn't," repeated David decidedly. "Mother would like the museum to be full," continued Ambrose; "we know that. And we can't get things anywhere else. She never said we were not to go to Rumborough alone." David sat cross-legged on the floor beside his tool-box in an attitude of the deepest thought.
