You're sure you know just which crevice of the rock it is? Lettie laughed and said, she'd watched it too long not to know. When I got ready I wint, too. I trailed round after dark until I found meself under that point av rock by the bushes in the steep bend up-street. I was in a little corner full of crevices, when along comes Lettie.
I couldn't sleep, and so I come along up-street 'bout midnight, a-turning it all over, and when I got to that old shackly brick store by the Temperance Tavern, I backed up agin the wall to have another think. Well, just then along comes these two chaps slipping along close by me, with something under their arm, and I reckoned they'd stole it.
"I meant young folks don't remember as well as older people do," continued the Squire. "I don't see what's so remarkable in her comin' back and walkin' up-street with Joe Louden. She used to go kitin' round with him all the time, before she left here. And yet everybody talks as if they never HEARD of sech a thing!" "It seems to me," said Colonel Flitcroft, hesitatingly, "that she did right.

"D'you suppose that brute swiped my liquor?" wondered Tom Tripe. "You mind the horses while I look." But suddenly there was a savage noise of trumpeting up-street, followed by a bark and a yelp of canine terror. "God!" swore Tom. "That's Trotters coming to fetch us! Akbar's chasing him back this way! Hang on to the horse like ten men! I'll go see!" He was outside before Dick could remonstrate.
Joanna rose instantly to cross the street and intercept him; and she recoiled in the nick of time to save herself from being ridden down. At a sign from the fat Hindoo the eight horsemen spurred, and swooped up-street with the speed and certainty of sparrow-hawks and the noise of devastation.
Coles and the baby are doing charmingly. Could it be that, after all this, and much more, the Playing-field was a Station, and No. 97 expectorated boiling water and redhot cinders on it, and the whole belonged by Act of Parliament to S.E.R.? As it could be, and was, I left the place with a heavy heart for a walk all over the town. And first of Timpson's up-street.
She was vague about the duties of a grand juror; maybe he had to earn his two dollars; but she had exact ideas about the trouble of walking "up-street." To get eight cents for that was being paid for doing nothing at all, and she was much astonished at the idea. "Likely now, ain't it?" said Mr. Peaslee, with masculine scorn. "State don't waste money that way!
"You've never gone to all this trouble and expense for me, I hope?" remonstrated Mollie. "La, no; I hadn't the money. The young gentleman had 'em ordered here from the restaurant up-street. Sit right down at once." "Dear, kind, considerate Hugh!" Mollie thought, as she took her place at the tidy table. "Where is he now, Mrs. Slimmens?"
They had wrapped their heads in handkerchiefs, so that they looked like the disappointed dead scuttling back to Purgatory. Only one old gentleman, pontifically draped in a banner embroidered 'Temperance and Fortitude, ran the gauntlet up-street, shouting as he passed me, 'It's night or Blücher, Mister. They let him in at the White Hart, the pub. where I should have bought the beer.
