She felt the questioning intentness of Sheriff Munn's eyes on her stolid face and she felt that he did not miss the tremor of her eyes. "Where was your son this afternoon?" She smiled defiance. "I told you, on the beach." "Whose room is that?" Munn's forefinger pointed to Tobey's closed door. "That's Tobey's room," said his mother. "The mud tracks go into that room.

It was her last effort to cure her husband of culture poisoning, but she was not yet ready to give up her big idea of reforming Butterfly Center. Warble was a determined little person, and, too, fate often gave her a good boost, and she thought one was about due. She went to the Toddletopsis Club, at Lotta Munn's.
Gourlay had been a great crony o' Munn's, but he quarrelled him for being late; he had trysted him, ye see, for the occasion, and he had been twenty times at the yett to look for him. Ye ken how little he would stomach that; he was ready to brust wi' anger. Munn, mad for the want of sleep and wat to the bane, swüre back at him; and than Gourlay wadna let him near his wife!
"The girl is Isabel Munn's daughter." I saw a tremor shake the gaunt frame. "When we buried Isabel Munn, you came back in the night to weep at her grave." He thrust out a warding hand toward me.

The innocent and facile character of the Sawyers had long been a problem in Elmbrook, but who could have dreamed that, even in their weakest moment, Jake and Hannah could have been decoyed into adopting a four-headed monster! Mrs. Munn's heart was heavy with dread as she hurried up the lane.
Mart looked at his wife. "I dunno." Munn's glance came to the wife. "Yes." "How long ago did he come in?" "About an hour ago." Her voice was flat and lifeless. "And where had he been?" Munn's tone was gentle but insistent. Her terrified glance sought Mart's face. "He'd been on the beach!" she said in a defiant tone. Mart continued to look at her, but there was no expression in his face.
Brenner, at her task of ladling out the thick soup. She paused as though transfixed, her ladle poised in the air. Munn's eyes dropped from her face to the floor. There they became fixed on the tracks of red clay. "No, nothin' but the sea. It must be rough outside to-night, for the bay was whinin' like a sick cat," said Mart calmly. "Didn't hear a scream, or nothing like that, I suppose?"
A group of men stood on the step, the faint light of the room picking out face after face that she recognized Sheriff Munn; Jim Barker, who kept the grocery in the village; Cottrell Hampstead, who lived in the next house below them; young Dick Roamer, Munn's deputy; and several strangers. "Well?" she asked ungraciously. "We want to see Brenner!" one of them said. She stepped back.

The total cost of all the articles, when purchased at Aleppo, was 1,465,000 l.; when purchased in India, 511,458 l.; the price in the latter market, therefore, was little more than one-third of their Aleppo price.
