Meantime his fame had spread: all the scholars of the town came to see and chop theology with this illustrious travelling Rabbi. He became a tutor in a wealthy family: his learning was accounted superhuman, and he himself almost divine. A doubt he expressed as to the healthiness of a consumptive-looking child brought him at her death the honors of a prophet.
In their places were set dinner plates, containing a small section each of corned beef, with a consumptive-looking potato, very probably "soggy." At any rate, this was the case with Hector's. He succeeded in eating the meat, but not the potato. "Give me your potato?" asked his left-hand neighbor. "Yes." It was quickly appropriated.
After the reading of scriptural selections, a slim, consumptive-looking youth, with a sympathetic, long-range voice, exquisitely sang a solo, the most effective part of which was: "O Israel, He redeemeth thee."
In my mind you have been no taller, no older, and yet I might have known why, we shall have to get acquainted all over again." Doris blushed. "I am sure I have not changed as much as you. I did not think it could be you." "Someone at Annapolis before we went out designated me as 'That consumptive-looking young fellow. But I have grown strong and hearty, and no doubt I shall come to fourscore.
He was always sending applications or personally handing them to the authorities, asking to have his term remitted and to be allowed to go, and he told me that he had spent over two hundred roubles on telegrams.

"Well, Lane?" my companion said. "Busy, eh?" "Not very, sir," was the answer, with the true cockney twang. "Trade ain't very brisk. There's too bloomin' many of us 'ere nowadays."
It was two years now since a certain consumptive-looking young man had caused the upheaval of a private enterprise back of The Hollow and made so much unpleasantness, but Norman Teale had served his term in prison and had got on his feet once more, and Greeley had a momentary touch of sympathy for the Speak-Easy magnates as he glanced up at this new style of spy.
