That's really the great thing, isn't it, after all?",All during the day he worked with a cloud of apprehension hanging over him. But nothing stirred. The Mexicans at the noon hour broke up into groups and talked excitedly, but as far as Bob could see they did their work without any friction with their bosses, and under Mr. Taylor’s generalship the whole job moved smoothly.，"She shall look as smart as she can be made[Pg 95] to look, sir," answered Mr Lawrence.
