Except, however, for the Twinklers, for all other persons of whom it was said that they were Germans, naturalized or not, immediate or remote, he had, instructed by his newspaper, what his called a healthy instinctive abhorrence. "And she's got it too," he thought, much gratified at this bond between them, as he noted Anna-Felicitas's hesitating and reluctant advance to meet the new guests.
But out of the crowd on the pier, any of whom might have been Sacks for all the Twinklers, eagerly scanning faces, knew, nobody in fact seemed to be Sacks. At least, nobody came forward and said, "Are you the Twinklers?" Other people fell into each other's arms; the air was full of the noise of kissing, the loud legitimate kissing of relations; but nobody took any notice of the twins.
And, Mr Fitzpatrick, you'll just be pleased to keep your two eyes upon your prisoner, and not be staring at me, following me up and down, as you do, with those twinklers of yours." "A cat may look at a king, Mistress Nancy, and no harm done either." "You forget, Mr Fitzpatrick," replied Nancy, "that I am now a modest woman."
It is known that the inn each afternoon has been crowded with Germans, among them Germans already suspected, I can't say how rightly or how wrongly, of spying, and that these people are so familiar with the Miss von Twinklers as to warrant the belief in a complete secret understanding." For a moment Mr. Twist continued both his silence and his stare. Then he took off his spectacles and wiped them.
Twist, from every aspect before coming to the interview, for she didn't want to make a mistake herself nor allow the Miss Twinklers to make a mistake; and she had arrived at the conclusion that what with her hair being too old and the rest of her being too young, taken altogether she struck an absolute average and perfectly fulfilled the condition required; and as she wished to live in the country, town life disturbing her psychically too much, she was willing to give up her home and her circle it was a real sacrifice and accept the position offered by the Miss Twinklers.
Twist, or even under a fortnight, or even if you came to that, under a month; and meanwhile what was he to do with the Twinklers? Mr.

"Having supper," she said curtly. "Fortunate creature," gasped Anna-Felicitas, "I hope he isn't eating it all." "Will you announce us please?" said Anna-Rose putting on her dignity. "The Miss Twinklers."
This lady, the widow of Bruce D. Bilton of Chicago of whom of course, she said, the Miss Twinklers had heard the Miss Twinklers blushed and felt ashamed of themselves because they hadn't, and indistinctly murmured something about having heard of Cornelius K. Vanderbilt, though, and wouldn't he do had a great deal of very beautiful snow-white hair, while at the same time she was only middle-aged.
The Miss Twinklers were orphans, and he had been asked he cleared his throat asked by their relatives, by, in fact, their uncle in England, to take over their guardianship and see that they came to no harm. The lawyer nodded intelligently, and said that if a man had wards at all they might as well be cute wards. Mr. Twist didn't like this either, and said briefly that he had had no choice.
It was quite unjust, he knew. They couldn't help the death of the man Dellogg.
