Some one'd been tellin' me that she'd asked you the meanin' of the word 'evaporate. An' when you couldn't tell her she told you to do it.

She turned out the light and it was now dark and still; outside, the thin rain dripped and the white blossoms blew from the trees and the whole air smelt wonderfully good.
"Curse me, if I don't think all the world means to cross the Thames this fine night," observed Ben. "One'd think it rained fares, as well as blowed great guns. Why, there's another party on the stair-head inquiring arter scullers; and, by the mass! they appear in a greater hurry than any on us."
Look here send the child out of the room and give me a push: a little one'd do, and you'll never get a better chance." Still she held her breath; and he went on, gazing upwards and apparently speaking to the eaves. "Not worth it, I suppose you'll say? Don't you make too sure.
"In fack, I don't know as more'n one'd git through if you an' me both started." His cold gray eye was fixed on Woodhull carelessly.
