She had made him a promise and when they next met it would be beside a river of the North. But this was twelve months ahead; he felt it was a long time to wait. The day's work was over and Thirlwell and his employer sat, smoking and talking, in their shack at the Clermont mine. Scott was young and had once been fastidious, but, like Thirlwell, he wore work-stained overalls.
Kennicott, who with her splendid literary training and all should be able to give us many pointers and many helpful pointers." Carol had warned herself not to be so "beastly supercilious." She had insisted that in the belated quest of these work-stained women was an aspiration which ought to stir her tears. "But they're so self-satisfied. They think they're doing Burns a favor.
How do you like em on the brown felt?" she asked, inclining her head in a discriminating attitude and poising them awkwardly on the hat with her work-stained hand. How did she like them on the brown felt indeed? Miss Sawyer had not been looking at Rebecca, but the child's eyes were flashing, her bosom heaving, and her cheeks glowing with sudden rage and despair. All at once something happened.
"Wal, good luck, an' come back soon," was Slingerland's last word. So they parted. The cowboy led the way with the steady, easy, trotting walk that saved a horse yet covered distance; in three hours they were hailed by a trooper outpost, and soon they were in camp. Shortly after their arrival the engineers returned, tired, dusty, work-stained, and yet in unusually good spirits.

Bat Harker. Maybe you don't guess I look it. Don't worry. Just pass it over." Bull groped in an inner pocket, surprise affording him some amusement. His interest in Sachigo had abruptly focussed itself on this man. "I'm kind of sorry," he said. "I surely took you for some sort of porter." Bat laughed outright, and glanced down at his work-stained clothing. "Wal, that ain't new," he said.
He is very young, Mrs. Greeve, and very much ashamed, I am sure. So please don't make it too hard for him."

With a soiled thumb she turned a ring on her third finger.
There were few folk in the streets, for the toilers had all been absorbed since break of day by the huge smoke-spouting monster, which sucked in the manhood of the town, to belch it forth weary and work-stained every night.
"Something must have cured her!" thought Clara Belle, awed and almost frightened by the whiteness and the silence. She tiptoed across the floor to look more closely at the still, smiling shape, and bending over it saw, under the shadow of the caressing right hand, a narrow gold band gleaming on the work-stained finger.
