"It means that I shall lose you."，“None of your nonsense,” replied the long-limbed pedestrian, his thankyou’s cut short by Moses’ cheerfulness.，“I think you’ve broke my neck, kid,” he said, feebly, as quaking Billy helped him to his feet.，"Ah!" murmured Mrs. Dallas, casting a haggard look around.

After several excuses, she was obliged to go and fetch the key. Blue Beard having examined it, said to his wife, "Why is there blood on this key?"
