It is in Geoffrey's eyes a very curious room, unlike anything he has ever seen before; yet it possesses for him (perhaps for that very reason) a certain charm.

The windows were curtained with cobwebs and dust. For years the wide front door had been nailed up with the same sun-bleached boards; and “Keep out!” spoke from every gray splinter.,Anson almost sobbed his relief. "I'll do it," he agreed. "What is it you want'a know, Bill?",“Isobel, play one of your pieces, let’s see how your recital helped you to-day.”,Tom Holt, the proud possessor of a watch, consulted it. "Ten twelve an' a half," he answered, holding the dial to the moon-light. "Sandtown'll be sound asleep. Come on, let's go down to the lake an' make a haul.",Ringold nodded approval. "All right, Neighbor Watland. Anybody else got anythin' to say?",With that it was as if the old score between them was wiped out once for all.
