"Remember what Etwald said about your life-in-death!",Clarence, however, when questioned, declared, “I haven’t seen the little shaver since dinner.”,Somewhere behind him Billy heard a giggle, which was immediately suppressed as he turned and looked over his shoulder.,"Sir," prompted a voice from the back seat.,Maurice grew serious, and paused at the top of the drive, just out of sight of the house, to reply to this question.，“Uncouple!” he yelled to the engineer. As he and Bob swung into the cab, the little locomotive[121] was already moving slowly. “To the east bank, quick!” he ordered and caught the whistle cord. The prolonged screech told the switchmen and other trains that something serious was afoot, and that the line must be cleared.，“John dear,” said Mother, “you are not to use such expressions.”，“It was worth the trouble anyway,” answered Bob as Jerry settled into a chair.
