And this with other things shows there was a friendly feeling toward me from the first. After having thus expressed himself, he directed me to print my name on each of four pieces of paper, and to tack them up in certain places in the room, which he indicated to me.

Of course I had to rearrange them to suit him, in which I also finally succeeded.英文原著 · 《Henry Ossian Flipper》

The corporal found time to have another shot and laid out a tall, odd-looking man..."英文原著 · 《Okewood of the Secret Service》
