Arrived there, they dropped overboard a heavy "killick" of rock which they had previously attached to the boat's painter, and thus anchored her in readiness for the Minerva's crew whenever they might choose to fetch her. To set the cutter's canvas was the work of a few minutes, and, this done, the anchor was quickly hove up and the little craft got under way.
He is a rank-and-file man by training and instinct, but he forms a rare backbone for K . There are others, of more parts Killick, for instance. Not long ago he was living softly, and driving a Rolls-Royce for a Duke. He is now a machine-gun sergeant, and a very good one. There is Dobie. He is a good mechanic, but short-legged and shorter-winded. He makes an excellent armourer.
Lest "Boomsher" seem an unusual surname, it must be explained that the actual name was French and could not be coped with by Edgewood or Pleasant River, being something as impossible to spell as to pronounce. As the family had lived for the last few years somewhere near the Killick Cranberry Meadows, they were called and completely described in the calling the Crambry fool-family.

"Just so!" agreed Mr. Killick, moving towards his library door. "But I'm going with you as soon as I've got myself into an overcoat. Now!" he added, a few minutes later, when all three went out to the cab.
I pulled up my killick on the instant and paddled over to see what was going on, and what the creature was that had leaped out of the grass. Before my paddle had swung a dozen strokes I saw the alders by the brook open swiftly, and Mother Quoskh sailed out and drove like an arrow straight at the struggling wing tips, which still flapped spasmodically above the grass.
Go straight back and give it to her as you were told; and another time keep your wits about you, or I'll send you back to Killick." Alcestis Crambry's ideas on all subjects were extremely vague.
Alcestis had enjoyed, in consequence of his unusual intellectual powers, some educational privileges, and the Killick school-mistress well remembered his first day at the village seat of learning. Reports of what took place in this classic temple from day to day may have been wafted to the dull ears of the boy, who was not thought ready for school until he had attained the ripe age of twelve.
We may take it that Levendale and Purvis knew but who else would?" "Aye! and how are we to find that out?" asked the New Scotland Yard man.
