"I am profoundly puzzled. There can be no question from Mr Adams's statement and from my own observation that the fellow who delivered the missive is cabin-boy, or steward, or whatever you please to call him, of the Minorca, chosen by your son, as he admits, though it seemed to me as I looked at him that nobody less likely and less[Pg 188] inviting for such a post could have been found in the district.",Once on the boughs,"David's was different also."，“And help?” May Nell asked, eagerly.，"Now let's get while the gettin's good," whispered Billy; and the three crept off into the shadows.，Half paralyzed with astonishment Billy went with the Doctor to the Sheriff’s office; but he was out and the deputy didn’t know when he would return; thought it might be within an hour or so.

His temples were already gray, but he had not forgotten how a boy feels.In about ten minutes after Paul had made his report, Mr Lawrence told him to knock on Miss Acton's cabin door and enter. This time the door swung to and fro, and Mr Lawrence, who had turned in his seat to follow the steward's movements, saw Miss Acton upon all fours upon the deck with her face close to the tray, as though she was taking up the food with her mouth.

As the machine slipped over the hilltop hiding the dam from sight, Bob turned his eyes to the front.

He was sorry now that he had not paid closer attention to the reading of the lesson.,"Oh gollies!" gasped Anson. "What's he huntin' copperheads fer, Bill?","I should rather think so. Who wouldn't?

If I was not utterly sure of it I should instantly commit suicide by precipitating myself under the carriage-wheels," says Geoffrey. "Still—'let us dissemble.'
