But it must be the right man, Sparrow, some one he can like who won't jar him and some one we can afford to keep permanently. I've been thinking about it all night and, do you know, I have an idea. Do you remember my telling you about Adolph Jensen's brother?" "The old one, who failed over here?" "Yes.
He growled hoarsely: "It'll be more years than there are miles between here and Jensen's before you get a cent out of that case. You're a fool for making the trip; why don't you let 'em get that old bushwhacker at Salem, he's only three miles away?" Harry pulled on his coat and dropped into his chair with a grin. "What'll you give me to collect some of your old accounts, Doctor?
See Jensen's valuable articles, "The Queen in the Babylonian Hades and her Consort," in the Sunday School Times, March 13 and 20, 1897.

Marjorie, on her part, though she could not free herself from Jensen's hold for Jensen had the clasp and the hold of a bear cried out to them bravely to do their duty, and defend the place, and pay no heed to her.
