Yes! For heaven's sake, yes!" "No, I cannot!" "No." "Good Lord! What have I got?" inquired Mr. Bates of himself, in a tone, however, perfectly audible to those in the immediate neighbourhood. "Try him licking stamps!" suggested the lanky youth in a voice that, while it reached the ears of Jimmy and others near by, including Cameron, was inaudible to the manager. Mr.

What was Oliver's horror and alarm as he stood a few paces off, looking on with his eyelids as wide open as they would possibly go, to see the Dodger plunge his hand into the old gentleman's pocket, and draw from thence a handkerchief! To see him hand the same to Charley Bates; and finally to behold them, both running away round the corner at full speed!

We must account for the colours of the former in the same general manner, as in the cases previously discussed in this chapter. Since the publication of Mr. Bates' paper, similar and equally striking facts have been observed by Mr. Wallace in the Malayan region, by Mr. Trimen in South Africa, and by Mr. Riley in the United States.

Bates, with every symptom of joy illuminating his rather horizontal features wide brows, wide cheek-bone, wide nose, wide mouth, wide chin, wide jaw stopped to shake hands most enthusiastically with his caller without removing his padded glove. "What's the good news, old pal?" he asked huskily.

But for such a juncture as this he had little initiative and less momentum, and he realized it all too well. Mrs. Bates seated herself and threw open her furs. Her affluence, her expansiveness, her easy mastery of the situation seemed to crowd this square and ineffective old man quite into a corner.

Minnie Bates, in particular, said that the "grandfather's clock" in the hall struck twelve before she "could close an eye."

This time Grant did not resent questions.

'Ha! ha! my dear, replied the Jew, 'you must get up very early in the morning, to win against the Dodger. 'Morning! said Charley Bates; 'you must put your boots on over-night, and have a telescope at each eye, and a opera-glass between your shoulders, if you want to come over him. Mr.
