"Your questions are soon answered," said he; and the clear ring of his voice was heard even by those who stood far apart. "I am come to offer myself to the people of this land, to defend them against all wrong, and to uphold their laws and rights. My name is Olaf.
"Let me go! let me go!" she exclaimed. "Are you mad?" Frank caught up his fiddle. At last Lizzie wrenched herself from Mike. "What do you mean? ... Such nonsense!"

Placing it on the floor, he grasped one wing of the screen with both hands, and at cost of considerable effort swung it aside, uncovering the face of a huge, old-style safe built into the wall. For several seconds but not for many Lanyard studied this problem intently, standing quite motionless, his head lowered and thrust forward, hands resting on his hips.
Uncovering his face when his horse was started by the scent of a carcase which lay in the road, he was recognized and saluted by an old soldier who had been discharged from the guards.
No one answered, and seeing that we were all looking at him in amazement, he sprang to his feet, exclaiming: "I deny the charge you have made against me; it is false in every particular." "Then, Mr. Drysdale," said I, "you will probably deny that you buried the gold, which was taken from this bank, in the bed of Rocky Creek. Here it is," I added, uncovering the box, which had been placed near by.
