Sir Thomas, politely bowing, replied, "It is the only way, sir, in which I could _not_ wish you established as a permanent neighbour; but I hope, and believe, that Edmund will occupy his own house at Thornton Lacey. Edmund, am I saying too much?" ¡¡¡¡ Edmund, on this appeal, had first to hear what was going on; but, on understanding the question, was at no loss for an answer. ¡¡¡¡ "Certainly, sir, I have no idea but of residence. But,

Crawford, though I refuse you as a tenant, come to me as a friend. Consider the house as half your own every winter, and we will add to the stables on your own improved plan, and with all the improvements of your improved plan that may occur to you this spring." ¡¡¡¡ "We shall be the losers," continued Sir Thomas. "His going, though only eight miles, will be an unwelcome contraction of our family circle; but I should have been

'In what way do you mean? In the rouge way?' said Steerforth. ¡¡¡¡'Put this and that together, my tender pupil,' returned the wary Mowcher, touching her nose, 'work it by the rule of Secrets in all trades, and the product will give you the desired result.

And when I wait upon 'em, they'll say to me sometimes - WITH IT ON - thick, and no mistake - "How am I looking, Mowcher? Am I pale?" Ha! ha! ha! ha! Isn't THAT refreshing, my young friend!'

There was a fumbling and a scratching of matches, and the sea-lamp flared up, dim and smoky, and in its weird light bare-legged men moved about, nursing their bruises and caring for their hurts. Oofty-Oofty laid hold of Parsons' thumb, pulling it out stoutly and snapping it back into place. I noticed at the same time that the Kanaka's knuckles were laid open clear across and to the bone. Exposing his beautiful white teeth in a grin, he explained that the wounds had come from striking Wolf Larsen in the mouth. ¡¡¡¡'So it was you, was it, you black beggar?' belligerently demanded Kelly, an Irish-American and a longshoreman making his first trip, and puller for Kerfoot. ¡¡¡¡As he made the demand he shoved his pugnacious face close to Oofty-oofty. The Kanaka leaped backward to his bunk, to return with a leap, flourishing a long knife. ¡¡¡¡'Aw, go lay down; you make me tired,' Leach interfered. He was evidently, for all of his youth and inexperience, cock of the forecastle. 'G'wan, you Kelly. You leave Oofty alone. How in- did he know it was you in the dark?'

I do - I have said I do! I loved you all the time we was at the dairy together!' ¡¡¡¡`More than Tess?' ¡¡¡¡She shook her head. ¡¡¡¡`No,' she murmured, `not more than she.' ¡¡¡¡`How's that?' ¡¡¡¡`Because nobody could love 'ee more than Tess did!... . She would have laid down her life for 'ee. I could do no more.' ¡¡¡¡Like the prophet on the top of Poor Izz Huett would fain have spoken perversely at such a moment, but the fascination exercised over her rougher nature by Tess's character compelled her to grace. ¡¡¡¡Clare was silent; his heart had risen at these straightforward words from such an unexpected unimpeachable quarter. In his throat was something as if a sob had solidified there. His ears repeated, `She would have laid down her life for 'ee. I could do no more!' ¡¡¡¡`Forget our idle talk, Izz,' he said, turning the horse's head suddenly. `I don't know what I've been saying! I will now drive you back to where your lane branches off.' ¡¡¡¡`So much for honesty towards 'ee! O - how can I bear it - how can I - how can I!'

So be we!' ¡¡¡¡`I wonder what she is like - the lady they say his family have looked out for him!' ¡¡¡¡`I wonder,' said Izz. ¡¡¡¡`Some lady looked out for him?' gasped Tess, starting. `I have never heard o' that!' ¡¡¡¡`O yes--'tis whispered; a young lady of his own rank, chosen by his family; a Doctor of Divinity's daughter near his father's parish of Emminster; he don't much care for her, they say. But he is sure to marry her.' ¡¡¡¡They had heard so very little of this; yet it was enough to build up wretched dolorous dreams upon, there in the shade of the night. They pictured all the details of his being won round to consent, of the wedding preparations, of the bride's happiness, of her dress and veil, of her blissful home with him, when oblivion would have fallen upon themselves as far as he and their love were concerned. Thus they talked, and ached, and wept till sleep charmed their sorrow away.

standing over her, his weapon leveled at her head. He reached out his hand for thepistol she held. "I'll take that," he ordered. Without warning, a furry hand came out from under the log and jabbed the scoutin the leg with a knife. The man howled in pain, began jumping about on one foot. Leia dove for his fallen laser pistol. She rolled, fired and hit the scout squarelyin the chest, flash-burning his heart. Quickly the forest was quiet once more, the noise and light swallowed up as ifthey had never been. Leia lay still where she was, panting softly, waiting for anotherattack. None came. Wicket poked his fuzzy head up from under the log, and looked around. "Eeeprrp scrp ooooh," he mumbled in a tone of awe. Leia hopped up, ran all about the area, crouched, turned her head from side toside. It seemed safe for the time being. She motioned to her chubby new friend."Come on, we'd better get out of here."

The machine moved slowly toward her, traveling on a rising hum. Itsindifferent spherical form blocked out Vader, the Governor, the rest of the cell…thelight… Muffled sounds penetrated the cell walls and thick door, drifting out into thehallway beyond. They barely intruded on the peace and quiet of the walkwayrunning past the sealed chamber. Even so, the guards stationed immediately outsidemanaged to find excuses to edge a sufficient distance away to where those oddlymodulated sounds could no longer be heard at all.
Look over there, Luke," Kenobi ordered, pointing to the southwest. Thelandspeeder continued to race over the gravelly desert floor beneath them. "Smoke,I should think." Luke spared a glance at the indicated direction. "I don't see anything, sir." "Let's angle over that way anyhow. Someone may be in trouble." Luke turned the speeder. Before long the rising wisps of smoke that Kenobihad somehow detected earlier became visible to him also. Topping a slight rise, the speeder dropped down a gentle slope into a broad,shallow canyon that was filled with twisted, burned shapes, some of them inorganic,some not. Dead in the center of this carnage and looking like a beached metal whalelay the shattered hulk of a jawa sandcrawler. Luke brought the speeder to a halt. Kenobi followed him onto the sand, andtogether they began to examine the detritus of destruction.
