Node looked like a skur-crow an' Alfred like a Tom-boy girl.

The flying machine was the mysterious creation that Node had so often hinted at.

He's got Node Beckley into hit; they has things all trimmed with feathers.

He became certain Node would make the flying machine a success.

He assured Node that her tail would be the wonder of the world.

While the machine was in course of construction Node had his own way in everything.

Node was evidently not sure in his mind that the flight would be successful.

Alfred assured Node that he could be of even greater assistance.

Node had forgotten that they had never worked a day previously.

If Node told that story I am going over to contradict it, if his back's broken.
