Then I understood that it was not so at all, but that my friend really called to me from a place thirty or forty yards down the road, where the scrub was thicker. It was the spot where our tank and tool-box, cast ahead as the car swerved and went over, lay shattered on the rocks.
You wanted to make some electrotype medals, as good as that first-rate one that Muldair copied when he lived in Paxton. Or you want to make some plaster casts. Or you want to read some particular book or books. Or you want to use John's tool-box for some very definite and attractive purpose. Very well; take this up also, for your individual or special business.
"I need some new tires," she said, as she from one side and he from the other began seeking in the tool-box under the seat for jack and wrench. "That spare is soft, too, and half worn through; I'll bet we get more than one puncture before the job's done. But it's mounted, anyway."
Beside her a tall youth, who represented Peleg Peterson, in the garb of a carpenter, with a tool-box on the ground, and in his hands a wooden doll, which he was carving for the child.
"Chain broken!" grumbled the chauffeur, as he stopped the car on the level of a long, straight road, and jumped nimbly down. "We oughtn't to have boasted yesterday." "Who's superstitious now?" I taunted him, as he searched the tool-box in the same way a child ransacks a Christmas stocking. "Oh, about motor-cars! That's a different thing," said he calmly. "Cold, isn't it?
He planned to call the boy Pemberton after his own father. Likewise the mother of the maiden in green now seated upon the tool-box had longed for a daughter and aspired to name her Rose, in tender memory of a dear college chum, a flower no longer blooming upon earth.
Bobby lapped a' it so eagerly, yet so daintily, that she added: "He's a weel-broucht-up tyke, Jamie." "He is so. Noo, we'll see hoo weel he can leuk." In a shamefaced way he fetched from a tool-box a long-forgotten, strong little currycomb, such as is used on shaggy Shetland ponies. With that he proceeded to give Bobby such a grooming as he had never had before.
"It does seem very strange." "Have they inquired of all the people who were on hand at the time of the robbery or loss when, I understand, it was very likely that the empty wallet was put in your tool-box?" "Oh, yes, they have questioned all of us and I can tell you that they were not any too polite about it, either. I thought I would never get over their quizzing."
"I guess that's what shocked you as much as anything, Cora. Now, if it had had the twenty thousand dollars in it " "It's strange that the wallet should have been there in my tool-box at all," murmured Cora. "It certainly is," added Jack. "What can it mean to find it in Cora's car?" "Is this the one Ed Foster lost?" asked Diddick. "We heard something about it."
With a nod and a smile the priest rode through the gate, dismounted, gave his horse over to a negro who, in answer to a shout, had come forward from some mysterious precinct of the barn-yard, shook hands with the Major and Gid, and gracefully declining a seat on the tool-box, rolled a barrel from against the wall and upon it seated himself.
