The unsavoury visitor was evidently spying out the land, and Adolph felt certain he would do no business with him at that particular hour, whatever might happen later. The customer took from under his coat, after a furtive glance at the door of the back room, a small paper-covered parcel, and, untying the string somewhat hurriedly, displayed a crude piece of clockwork made of brass.
Hightower, untying her bonnet and taking off her shawl, "I let you know, here's what wouldn't be sot back by nothin' ef she had Sis's chances. In about the las' word pore maw spoke on 'er dying bed, she call me to 'er an' sez, se' she, 'Purithy Emma, se' she, 'you hol' your head high; don't you bat your eyes for to please none of 'em, se' she."
The men fussed and fidgeted, untying their mufflers and rolling up their overcoats. And then it was time for all four to rustle their programmes.

Incle, untying her little bundle, and taking out a book; "accept it, my dear father, and I will pray that God may bless it to you, as He has done to me. "When I was able to come down, I passed my time with these good old people, and soon won their affection.
"Yes, Baas, we may do that. You take the staff; it is stout." "And what will you use?" asked Leonard. "Fear not, Baas. Do these men bear lights?" "Yes." "Then in two minutes I will make me a weapon." And, untying the hide rope from the stick, he began to fumble with it busily. "Now I am ready, Baas," he said presently. "Where shall we stand?" "Here," answered Leonard, leading him to the door.

She handed it to him; he opened the door; led her in; called loudly for Ellen; and when the frightened girl came hurrying down from her room, he bade her see to Mrs. Googe while he went for the doctor.
