Harrison's the big, tall one had wandered over here that day again and broke into the yard, and it got into the back porch, unbeknowns to us, and it was there when the minister appeared in the doorway. It made one wild bolt to get out, but there was nowhere to bolt to except between them bow legs.

"And right here is the very direction which is wrote on all the newspaper-bags which was to be put out for the Injuns for to keep 'em quiet. It's most uncommon lucky, becuz it's so nation dark I should 'a' gone by unbeknowns if that air thoroughbrace hadn't broke."

"For the letters, ma'am. Unbeknowns to one another we went to Mr Benny Mr Peter Benny he havin' a gift with his pen " 'Bias hesitated again, faltered, and came to a stop, aware that Mrs Bosenna's smile had changed to a frown; that she was regarding him with disapproval in her eyes, and that a red spot had declared itself suddenly upon either cheek.

"I'm a new client, Bunny; that makes all the difference. Then we were very good pals out there." "But you and Mrs. Shylock were better still?" "Unbeknowns, Bunny! She used to tell me her troubles when I lent her an arm and took due care to look a martyr; my hunting friend had coarse metaphors about heavy-weights and the knacker's yard."

Well, now, if I can slip out o' Falmouth unbeknowns to him, an' win to your father on the Plymouth road, I've heard you say and a little this side of St. Germans " "You might walk over to Penryn and pick up the night coach."

That there missionary's substance, unbeknowns to himself, actu'ly converted every last one of them heathens that took a chance at the barbacue.

"Better fit there was no need, and you'd played fair." "'Played fair'!" Cai flamed up at last "I don't take that from you, 'Bias Hunken, nor yet from any one! You fell into your own trap that's what happened to you. . . . 'Played fair'?
