frightened now. "What does that mean, anyhow?"
He drew back. "Land sakes, sir, I wasn't messin' with no tapes! I just come by with ol' sweeper and hears this squallin' -- what I gone do, let the poor child get his brains et?"
His complaint -- to whom, I could not imagine -- turned into a senseless mumble, thence to a mournful snatch of song about a certain Shore where (not unlike the brothers Gruff) he looked to find his heart's desire, could he but cross to it. Then he broke off singing with a scoff.
"Pass All Fail All! Ain't no child gone die in these here stacks!" He thrust his other arm under my legs, picked me up, and started down the aisle. I protested until I heard him say -- still more to himself than to me -- "I gone fetch you out of here, fore we both gets et. Dr. Spielman know what's what."
Just then a voice I knew called, "George?" and my heart sprang up, for Max himself crossed the end of our aisle. He peered in, not recognizing me for an instant, and then hurried to us.

Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, principal investigator on the multinational project. The research has been underway in southern Africa for four years now, and it probably wouldn't have happened there had it not been for the diamonds.For more than a century now the Earth's crust has been probed, mined and gutted in that area in the relentless search for diamonds. Part of the legacy of that quest is a massive amount of geological data about the region, and the mysterious geological structures that brought the diamonds to the surface in the first place.So in 1996 Carlson and colleagues at Carnegie and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposed a major study of southern Africa to see what they could learn about the forces that built continents, as well as diamonds. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the field work has been completed. Preliminary findings were published in the July 1 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, but it will take years for the scientists to analyze all their data.

provided plenty of fodder for the tabloids. And the steady stream of gossip continues. Britons speculate on the future of Charles and longtime love Camilla Parker Bowles. Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, have raised questions about whether royals can pursue outside careers without creating conflicts of interest.Amid the scandals, more and more people have also come to question the fiscal rationale for supporting a royal family.Yet a poll cited by the London-based Economist says only one in five Britons would call for the abolition of the monarchy."There is no danger of monarchy in Britain disappearing," said Ronald Linker, a retired professor of history at Penn State University.The royals are the living embodiment of "history of the nation," he said. "As far as all educated people are concerned, they know the monarchy represents who they are."

It has all come to nothing. I have had to release two of my prisoners, and there is no evidence against the other two."
"Never mind. We shall give you two others in the place of them. But you must put yourself under my orders. You are welcome to all the official credit, but you must act on the lines that I point out. Is that agreed?"
"Entirely, if you will help me to the men."
"Well, then, in the first place I shall want, a fast police-boat -- a steam launch -- to be at the Westminster Stairs at seven o'clock."
"That is easily managed. There is always one about there, but I can step across the road and telephone to make sure."
"Then I shall want two staunch men in case of resistance."
"There will be two or three in the boat. What else?"
