Do you wonder I didn't give way to any wild, uncontrolled joy? I could see us goin' through the same old program with 'em; listenin' to Pa Gummidge whine about how bad he felt, tryin' to keep his job for him, plannin' out a career for Horatio, and watchin' Rowena split out more shirtwaists. Vee shows up prompt a little before closin' time.

The life she'd lived with Harvey was over, and she was closin' up the book and puttin' it out of sight forever. Pore child! Pore child! "Well, when I got all o' Harvey's clothes put away, I washed out the empty drawers, lined 'em with clean paper and laid some o' little Harvey's clothes in 'em, and that seemed to please Mary. The father was gone, but there was his son to take his place.

Some day when you have four hours to spare, I'll read it to you. I think you'll enjoy it. It will fill all your collumes full, and create comment. Does this proposition strike you? Is it a go? In case I had read the Essy to the Social Sciencers, I had intended it should be the closin attraction. I intended it should finish the proceedins. I think it would have finished them.

He had halted as he explained this and I was almost abreast of him, and he startled me by whipping up his rifle and firing. As the shot rang out he rejoiced: "One!" I had heard nothing, seen nothing, and yet he had both heard and seen, and had made his kill. "No use coverin' up any longer," he said. "They're closin' in. Make for the trace shortest way. Hold back once you hit it for me to come up.

Outside there was a new clamour, faces showing at the door and then vanishing, and an anxious hum filled the hall.... Dobson appeared again and this time he was a figure of fury. "Are ye daft, man?" he cried. "I tell ye the polis are closin' round us, and there's no' a moment to lose if we would get back to the boats. If ye'll no' think o' your own neck, I'm thinkin' o' mine.

"Does your satire find nothing sacred, Martin?" returned the other, "not even the Honorable Kedge Halloway?" "I wouldn't presume," replied old Tom, "to make light of the catastrophe that overtook the heedless fly. When Halloway went on to other subjects I was so busy picturin' the last moments of that closin' life, stuck there in the fly-paper, I couldn't listen to him.

"You've not seed much o' the ice yet, that's plain," said Croft, "else you'd know that the floes are closin' round us, an' we'll soon be fast in the pack, if a breeze don't spring up to help us."

At the corner of Vere Street Harry said to Tom and Blakeston: 'I say, you blokes, let's go an' 'ave another drink before closin' time. 'I don't mind, said Tom, 'after we've took the gals 'ome. 'Then we shan't 'ave time, it's just on closin' time now. answered Harry. 'Well, we can't leave 'em 'ere. 'Yus, you can, said Sally. 'No one'll run awy with us.

A bullet whined above his head and Skinny fired at the smoke. He peeped out and saw that his friends were getting nearer to the knoll. "They's closin' in now. We'll soon be gittin' home," he reported. Hopalong looked out in time to see Buck make a dash for a bowlder that lay ten yards in front of him, which he reached in safety. Lanky also ran in and Pete added five more yards to his advance.
