An antiquated grate that would hold about a hundred weight of coal, had been stuck on the hearth, by Mr Thorne's father. This hearth had of course been intended for the consumption of wood fagots, and the iron dogs for the purpose were still standing, though half buried in the masonry of the grate. Miss Thorne was very anxious to revert to the dogs.
The explanation was reasonable, clear, and concise what woman could ask for more?

The camp chiefs and gang foremen whom they met seemed to stand in a certain awe of the senior engineer, but it was at the little red-headed Scotchman's cheery words that their eyes lighted with enthusiasm.
"I was going to offer her something myself, but she walked away while I was trying to find some change," said Kirk. The matter of a gratuity to the girl weighed on Sylvia Thorne's mind. She had a sense of a debt in owing her a gratuity, if one may so speak.
Having settled this point to his satisfaction, Buck's mind veered swiftly with an odd sense of relief that now at last he could investigate the matter seriously to the other problem which had stirred his curiosity so long.
