He had hungered for just this, and the impulse to show the whole of his heart and life to Mrs. Dillingham was irresistible. "If you'll never tell." "I will never tell, Harry." "Never, never tell?" "Never." "You are Mr. Belcher's friend, aren't you?" "I know Mr. Belcher." "If Mr. Belcher should tell you that he would kill you if you didn't tell, what would you do?"
The politics of "Gum Shoes, 4-B"; the local court of law in "Tom Belcher's Store"; the frozen west of "Turkey Red" seemed to them to meet the demand that art must hold the mirror up to nature. In particular, the Committee hoped to find good stories of the war.
Captain Branscome stared at her in weak bewilderment; and, indeed, the snort which accompanied Miss Belcher's question seemed to accuse him of impregnating the morning air with a scent of onions. "You can answer a plain question, I hope?" said she. "When did you eat last, and what was it?" "To be precise, ma'am though I don't understand you it was an apple, and about let me see seven hours ago."
Then lunging, tottering, falling, rising again, panting, gasping but with never another cry, old Frank fought his way up the river bottoms, past the farm of John Davis, across the field in front of Tom Belcher's store, now a dim smudge in the blackness dragged himself over the last ridge, dragged himself home.
It was with a profound sense of relief that she handed it to the messenger, and realized that, during that day and evening at least, she should be free, and so able to gather back her old composure and self-assurance.

He did not know that the grand and gaudy establishment bore the name of "Palgrave's Folly," and, probably, it would have made no difference with him if he had. It suited him, and would, in his hands, become Belcher's Glory. The sum demanded for the place, though very large, did not cover its original cost, and in this fact Mr. Belcher took great comfort.

He knew that this suspicion would be reported by Mr. Belcher's agent at once, and that Mr. Belcher would take desperate steps to secure himself in his possessions.
Isabel disengaged herself from Miss Belcher's arms and, drawing off her ring, handed it to her lover. Their eyes met, and hers were smiling bravely: but they brimmed on a sudden as the tears sprang into his. And now I felt that there was strong hope for him. Thus I came to be present at their wedding. Indeed, the prisoner claimed so much of Mr.
We nevertheless made out that the mouth of a river or estero, laid down in Sir Edward Belcher's chart, on the opposite side of the bay in front of La Union, was really that of the river Goascoran, a considerable stream having its rise at a point due north, and not far from Comayagua, the capital of Honduras, which, we also ascertained, was seated in the midst of a great plain, bearing the same name.
Rogers commanded, and ran towards the pavilion; and as we started I heard a whizzing and cracking within, as of machinery, followed by a double crack of timber. "Lydia! Lydia Belcher!" "Hey! What's the matter now?" I heard Miss Belcher's voice demand, as he burst in through the doorway. "Take care, the catapult's loaded!" A whiz, and again a crack. "There now! Oh, well fielded, indeed!
