Gold is the most common metal in the Land of Oz and is used for many purposes because it is soft and pliable.
She poured into the dish a quantity from each of these bottles.
I think that will do, she continued, for the other qualities are not needed in a servant.
She ran to her husband's side at once and helped him lift the four kettles from the fire.
Their contents had all boiled away, leaving in the bottom of each kettle a few grains of fine white powder.
Very carefully the Magician removed this powder, placing it all together in a golden dish, where he mixed it with a golden spoon.
No one saw him do this, for all were looking at the Powder of Life but soon the woman remembered what she had been doing, and came back to the cupboard.
He selected a small gold bottle with a pepper box top, so that the powder might be sprinkled on any object through the small holes.
Most people talk too much, so it is a relief to find one who talks too little.
I am not allowed to perform magic, except for my own amusement, he told his visitors, as he lighted a pipe with a crooked stem and began to smoke.
Dear me what a chatterbox you're getting to be, Unc, remarked the Magician, who was pleased with the compliment.
The grateful applause of the clergy has consecrated the memory of a prince who indulged their passions and promoted their interest.
The dews were suffered to exhale, and the sun had dispersed the mists, and was shedding a strong and clear light in the forest, when the travelers resumed their journey.
After proceeding a few miles, the progress of Hawkeye, who led the advance, became more deliberate and watchful.
He often stopped to examine the trees nor did he cross a rivulet without attentively considering the quantity, the velocity, and the color of its waters.
Distrusting his own judgment, his appeals to the opinion of Chingachgook were frequent and earnest.
Yet here are we, within a short range of the Scaroons, and not a sign of a trail have we crossed
Let us retrace our steps, and examine as we go, with keener eyes.
Chingachgook had caught the look, and motioning with his hand, he bade him speak.
The eyes of the whole party followed the unexpected movement, and read their success in the air of triumph that the youth assumed.
A circle of a few hundred feet in circumference was drawn, and each of the party took a segment for his portion.
The whole party crowded to the spot where Uncas pointed out the impression of a moccasin in the moist alluvion.
Notwithstanding the high resolution of Hawkeye he fully comprehended all the difficulties and danger he was about to incur.
There was something in his air and manner that betrayed to the scout the utter confusion of the state of his mind.
The bear shook his shaggy sides, and then a well known voice replied
Can these things be? returned David, breathing more freely, as the truth began to dawn upon him.
The young man is in bondage, and much I fear his death is decreed.
I greatly mourn that one so well disposed should die in his ignorance, and I have sought a goodly hymn Can you lead me to him?
The lodge in which Uncas was confined was in the very center of the village, and in a situation, perhaps, more difficult than any other to approach, or leave, without observation.
Four or five of the latter only lingered about the door of the prison of Uncas, wary but close observers of the manner of their captive.
They drew back a little from the entrance and motioned to the supposed conjurer to enter.
But the bear, instead of obeying, maintained the seat it had taken, and growled
Then, as if satisfied of their safety, the scout left his position, and slowly entered the place.
It was silent and gloomy, being tenanted solely by the captive, and lighted by the dying embers of a fire, which had been used for the purposed of cookery.
Uncas occupied a distant corner, in a reclining attitude, being rigidly bound, both hands and feet, by strong and painful withes.
The scout, who had left David at the door, to ascertain they were not observed, thought it prudent to preserve his disguise until assured of their privacy.
What shall we do with the Mingoes at the door? They count six, and this singer is as good as nothing.
Uncas, who had already approached the door, in readiness to lead the way, now recoiled, and placed himself, once more, in the bottom of the lodge.
But Hawkeye, who was too much occupied with his own thoughts to note the movement, continued speaking more to himself than to his companion.
So, Uncas, you had better take the lead, while I will put on the skin again, and trust to cunning for want of speed.
Well, what can't be done by main courage, in war, must be done by circumvention.
As soon as these dispositions were made, the scout turned to David, and gave him his parting instructions.
If you are not then knocked on the head, your being a non composser will protect you and you'll then have a good reason to expect to die in your bed.
Bravely and generously has he battled in my behalf, and this, and more, will I dare in his service.
Hold said David, perceiving that with this assurance they were about to leave him I am an unworthy and humble follower of one who taught not the damnable principle of revenge.
The Delaware dog he said, leaning forward, and peering through the dim light to catch the expression of the other's features is he afraid?
The Mohican started on his feet, and shook his shaggy covering, as though the animal he counterfeited was about to make some desperate effort.
He had no occasion to delay, for at the next instant a burst of cries filled the outer air, and ran along the whole extent of the village.
Uncas cast his skin, and stepped forth in his own beautiful proportions.
I will endeavour, in my statement, to avoid such terms as would serve to limit the events to any particular place, or give a clue as to the people concerned.
My friend's temper had not improved since he had been deprived of the congenial surroundings of Baker Street.
Without his scrapbooks, his chemicals, and his homely untidiness, he was an uncomfortable man.
I had to read it over carefully, as the text must be absolutely correct.
The moment I looked at my table, I was aware that someone had rummaged among my papers.
The proof was in three long slips. I had left them all together.
The alternative was that someone passing had observed the key in the door, had known that I was out, and had entered to look at the papers.
I gave him a little brandy and left him collapsed in a chair, while I made a most careful examination of the room.
Not only this, but on the table I found a small ball of black dough or clay, with specks of something which looks like sawdust in it.
Above all things, I desire to settle the matter quietly and discreetly.
Did anyone know that these proofs would be there? No one save the printer.
I was in such a hurry to come to you. You left your door open?
Then he approached it, and, standing on tiptoe with his neck craned, he looked into the room.
You left him in a chair, you say. Which chair? By the window there.
As a matter of fact, he could not, said Soames, for I entered by the side door.
How long would it take him to do that, using every possible contraction? A quarter of an hour, not less.
Holmes held out a small chip with the letters NN and a space of clear wood after them. You see?
Watson, I have always done you an injustice. There are others.
I was hoping that if the paper on which he wrote was thin, some trace of it might come through upon this polished surface. No, I see nothing.
As Holmes drew the curtain I was aware, from some little rigidity and alertness of his attitude, that he was prepared for an emergency.
Holmes turned away, and stooped suddenly to the floor. Halloa What's this?
What could he do? He caught up everything which would betray him, and he rushed into your bedroom to conceal himself.
I understand you to say that there are three students who use this stair, and are in the habit of passing your door? Yes, there are.
My scholar has been left very poor, but he is hard working and industrious. He will do well.
I dare not go so far as that. But, of the three, he is perhaps the least unlikely.
He was still suffering from this sudden disturbance of the quiet routine of his life.
You haven't seen any of them? No, sir.
It was the Indian, whose dark silhouette appeared suddenly upon his blind.
This set of rooms is quite the oldest in the college, and it is not unusual for visitors to go over them.
No names, please said Holmes, as we knocked at Gilchrist's door.
Of course, he did not realize that it was I who was knocking, but none the less his conduct was very uncourteous, and, indeed, under the circumstances rather suspicious.
I cannot allow the examination to be held if one of the papers has been tampered with. The situation must be faced.
It is possible that I may be in a position then to indicate some course of action.
I will take the black clay with me, also the pencil cuttings. Good bye.
When we were out in the darkness of the quadrangle, we again looked up at the windows.
My friend did not appear to be depressed by his failure, but shrugged his shoulders in half humorous resignation.
On the palm were three little pyramids of black, doughy clay.
In a few hours the examination would commence, and he was still in the dilemma between making the facts public and allowing the culprit to compete for the valuable scholarship.
He could hardly stand still so great was his mental agitation, and he ran towards Holmes with two eager hands outstretched. Thank heaven that you have come
If this matter is not to become public, we must give ourselves certain powers and resolve ourselves into a small private court martial.
His troubled blue eyes glanced at each of us, and finally rested with an expression of blank dismay upon Bannister in the farther corner.
We want to know, mister Gilchrist, how you, an honourable man, ever came to commit such an action as that of yesterday?
For a moment Gilchrist, with upraised hand, tried to control his writhing features.
Come, come, said Holmes, kindly, it is human to err, and at least no one can accuse you of being a callous criminal.
Well, well, don't trouble to answer. Listen, and see that I do you no injustice.
I entered, and I took you into my confidence as to the suggestions of the side table.
He returned carrying his jumping shoes, which are provided, as you are aware, with several sharp spikes.
No harm would have been done had it not been that, as he passed your door, he perceived the key which had been left by the carelessness of your servant.
A sudden impulse came over him to enter, and see if they were indeed the proofs.
I have a letter here, mister Soames, which I wrote to you early this morning in the middle of a restless night.
It will be clear to you, from what I have said, that only you could have let this young man out, since you were left in the room, and must have locked the door when you went out.
