A heavy-shouldered dark man, whose workmanlike appearance was heightened by the torn and spotted linen apron he wore, came quietly over to Patricia, and, taking the wire from Miss Griffin's thin, nervous hands, silently and swiftly finished the work she had begun, while she, with a nod of acquiescence, went to her own stand and began to thump lumps of clay into shape about her own iron head-piece. Some little distance from the major's abode stood a long, low rambling house on a slight rise.

"What do you say, Mr. Sarby?" asked Etwald, turning to the lawyer. "Git a stick to punch it, Molly," he was murmuring in his sleep.
