Roughly, I should say that the planet's diameter, at the place where I saw the clock, is fifty per cent greater than at the point where Van's agent is located; maybe ten thousand miles in its greatest diameter, Capellette.
"The nurse gave him Van Horn's drugs, he grew worse. I rose up and took charge." He laughed at the thought. "We had things doing there that would have made Van's hair curl. Everybody's hair curled but mine. Mine stood up straight. I waved my arms like a semaphore. I said 'Do this! and they did it. I sent every one of Van's emergency orders to thunder and tried my own.
You said, 'congenial society for me, or none at all. Whatever Van's faults are, he is a perfect gentleman; and yet you treat him as rudely and coldly as you can, and assert by your actions that Sibley's society is by far the most congenial to you."
"Well?" she said, rather curtly. "Nothing only " Mrs. Van's usually glib tongue faltered. "I was just going to say that you mustn't take Marc Scott too too I mean, you mustn't be too hard on him." "Hard!" "Yes. It's just his way; he don't mean to be ugly. He's queer, Scotty is, kind of oh, I don't know how to put it, but he didn't mean to be rude to you." "He was, though, very rude."

"Me and Mrs. Van are going to get spliced just as soon as the Ouija board tells her the winning system." "It's all very well for you to make fun of things you don't know any more about than a baby, Jim Adams." Mrs. Van's scorn was intense.
The young scout rose, for he was on-duty, but the long rollers on the lake forbade the going forth. Van's was a pleasant place to wait, but he chafed at the delay; his pride would have him make a record on every journey. But wait he must.
Van's drivin' it. He sees us, stops, 'n' comes up the side road to where we are. She don't hear him till he's right close. Then she backs away from Rainbow.

"Well, can you spare me a few minutes, and I'll tell you? My van's just a few yards down the lane you crossed a minute ago. You didn't look that way as you passed, and I didn't take it in at first that it was yourself; and when my wife said, `There's Mr Horace Jackson just gone by, I ran to the top of the lane just as I was, whip and all, and shouted arter you.
