From every crack in its rusty sides was pouring forth a whitish-yellow smoke that gripped the throat and smelled like a breath from the very pit of darkness. Mr. Johnston attempted to proceed and failed dismally. He was choking, as was every boy and girl in the room.,“Oh, no, no! I’m fit—I must find her myself—right now!”,The man who had the reputation of being able to read criminals unerringly glanced keenly at the man's face.,“I thought Holman was a cattleman,” said Bob. “This looks as if he were a farmer.”,The urn is hissing angrily, and breathing forth defiance with all his might. It is evidently possessed with the belief that the teapot has done it some mortal injury, and is waging on it war to the knife.，"Yis. It ole Dido," she said. "But ole Dido not lost. Dat great massa, he look after ole Dido."，“It’s been a cinch so far, but just wait. We’ve not started to get into trouble yet. We’ll get ours all right before we’re through.”，"Lost!
