boy; and he never leaves me; sir。 Only; by gad! sir; he will
starve himself and his family to be with me。 I brought him with me
to California away back in the fall of 'forty…nine。 Those were the
early days; sirthe early days。〃
His head had fallen back quite easily on the pillow now; but a
slight film seemed to be closing over his dark eyes; like the inner

When the Trust that he took from Man; Woman; or Child was never
broken。 When the tide; sir; that swept through the Golden Gate
came up as far as Montgomery Street。〃

the tide had once more come up to Montgomery Street; and was
carrying Harry Pendleton away with it。
