_ Flour all gone , -- no more biscuit from now on until the roads open -- and no sugar for the little coffee that remains . _ Monday Evening . _ To-day the rumor is flying that the remaining Cheevers set the fence up again on the Marrs land Friday and Saturday , taking their time , in known security from interruption . Nucky disappeared at noon , -- of course he has gone home . _ Tuesday Night . _ I was late going over to supper this evening , and had turned out the lights and was locking my door to leave when Nucky ran into the cottage . He did not see me in the shadow , and evidently believed the house to be deserted , for he flung himself down before the fire in a passion of fury and despair , beating the floor with hands and feet .
