It has been related, how, in the crowd that witnessed Hester Prynne's ignominious exposure, stood a man, elderly, travel-worn, who, just emerging from the perilous wilderness, beheld the woman, in whom he hoped to find embodied the warmth and cheerfulness of home, set up as a type of sin before the people. Her matronly fame was trodden under all men's feet.
But the character of the household was shown by the fact that none of the servants discreetly chosen, of course, and in themselves members of the criminal organization betrayed the least surprise that I, who acted as chauffeur, should be admitted to that curious family circle.

'Why, yes; he is travel-worn doubtless. 'Ho! ho! laughed my companion. 'I have seen such a stiffness before now. The man hath a straight sword within he leg of his breeches.

As they approached the post at Beaver Dams, the redcoats gave a hearty British cheer.

He produced his travelling bag and insisted on opening it for inspection despite the fact that there was no possibility of confusing its travel-worn leather with the tan satchel. It contained merely the usual travel accessories, a magazine and a box of cigars.
It was nearly noon when Stephen walked into the office the next day, dusty and travel-worn and perspiring. He had come straight from the ferry, without going home. And he had visions of a quiet dinner with Richter under the trees at the beer-garden, where he could talk about Abraham Lincoln. Had Richter ever heard of Lincoln?
After encountering almost incredible hardships and dangers with a perseverance which shows how well he appreciated the good qualities of his stolen helpmate, he reached Montreal and betook himself to the Governor's residence.
