"What to do, hay? fill me with jallop? can get it myself, can't I? Had one once; was taken very bad, thought should have popt off; began to flinch, sent for the doctor, proved nothing but a cheat! cost me a guinea, gave it at fourth visit, and he never came again! -warrant won't have no more!"
It consists merely of the word 'Zagazig' repeated six or seven times which can have no possible significance!" "Can't it!" snapped Smith. "Well," I said, "what has Zagazig to do with Fu-Manchu, or to do with us?" "Zagazig, my dear Petrie, is a very unsavory Arab town in Lower Egypt, as you know!"
And poor Mac turned his head away as he spoke. There was silence a moment. The womanly heart was touched at his despair and suffering, yet impotent to cheer him. Suddenly she bent over him as he lay there, so white and weary looking. "Mac, don't, don't worry so. I can't bear to see you troubled.
Felicia asked with a curious upward inflection. In the exasperated silence the invalid's voice quavered out to them. "Miss Whadda-you-call-it! Call that woman back here, Miss Grant!"

"I wish you'd come around sometimes," he asked her pleadingly, "I do admire a good game of chess and it's my house, I tell you, this is my house, even Clara can't say this isn't my house!"
We're born parasites, both, I suppose, or we'd have found out some way long ago. But I find there are things I might put up with for myself, at a pinch and should, probably, in time that I can't let you put up with for me... ever.... Those cigars at Como: do you suppose I didn't know it was for me? And this too? Well, it won't do... it won't do...."

Raven shook his head. "You can't foil Amelia," he said, "by running away from her. She'd camp for the winter. Or she'd get on our trail and follow us. No, we've got to see it through." At the house they found Charlotte, in a silent alertness, making ready for the guests whom Nan, before going up to the hut, had announced to her.
Gibb grabs the other, and then you let her have it for all there is in you. Did I say anything about Homeburg being asleep? Forget it. Before you've hit the bell a dozen taps you can't hear it for the tramp of feet. Every store in town is belching forth proprietors and clerks. They are coming bareheaded and coatless; some of them are collarless.

"Yes," said Cynthia, beginning to be amused at the turn the conversation was taking. "Well, they can't find anybody smart enough to replace Miss Goddard. Old Ezra Graves, who's on the prudential committee, told Ephraim they ought to get you. I was in the post-office when they were talking about it. Just see what a reputation for learning you have in Brampton!"
