Her fan was of amber tortoise-shell, with white ostrich feathers, and the end sticks bore her cypher and coronet in gold. "What a jolly fan," said John. "Well, well," said Lady Blanchemain, reconciling herself. Then, after an instant of pensiveness, "So you're already laid low by her beauty. But you haven't found out yet who she is?" "Who who is?" said John, looking all at sea. "Tut. Don't tease.
I called 'l' 'a'; 'n' 'b'; 'p' 'c'; and so on, and made out bjptnbblx, the first word in the first cypher, to be the word 'improving, and the two letters before it in capitals 'R.P. to be really 'D.C. The next cypher word, wamii, stumped me, as the code didn't make it sense; then it occurred to me to start the alphabet with 'm' instead of 'l, skipping every alternate letter as before, and I made out wamii to mean 'shall. The next cypher word, xvzzjv, I couldn't get sense out of by starting the alphabet with either 'l' or 'm, so I tried the next letter, 'n, skipping alternate letters once more, and that gave me the word 'settle. I knew then that I had got the key, and I soon had the whole sentence.
What is that?" inquired Mrs. Dodd. Why, a round O," said the other Oxonian, coming to his friend's aid. "And what is that, pray?" Alfred told her "the round O," which had yielded to "the duck's egg," and was becoming obsolete, meant the cypher set by the scorer against a player's name who is out without making a run. "I see," sighed Mrs. Dodd.
"D'he look that way when you fust see him in New Yo'k?" Claxon gave his honesty time to get the better of his optimism. Even then he answered evasively, "He doos look pootty slim." "The way I cypher it out," said his wife, "he no business to let her marry him, if he wa'n't goin' to get well. It was throwin' of herself away, as you may say."
Or should they be ambitious, they must govern their tyrants by sinister tricks, for without rights there cannot be any incumbent duties. The laws respecting woman, which I mean to discuss in a future part, make an absurd unit of a man and his wife; and then, by the easy transition of only considering him as responsible, she is reduced to a mere cypher.
Now, I'll take my general look round." After Martin Hewitt had rushed off to St. Augustine's Hospital with the key, the envelope, and the cypher I had brought him, I heard nothing of him till dusk fell about six. Then I received this telegram: /# "Cypher read. Most interesting case. If you can spare an hour be outside 120 Broad Street at six thirty. <sc>Hewitt</sc>." #/
But, mind I've most filled my canvass; it will cost you a pretty considerable penny, if you want all them critters in, when I come to cypher all the pictur up, and sumtotalize the whole of it. "'Oh! cuss the cost! sais you. 'Do you jist obey orders, and break owners, that's all you have to do, Old Loyalist. "'Very well, sais he, 'here goes.
I hope we can enroll a dozen good fellows for a start. The rest will flock over after a bit, when they get to know what fine times we expect to have," remarked Paul. They found that there were just a dozen present, counting A. Cypher, who as host was much in evidence.
The Jews were then still numerous, and had considerable force at Jerusalem; and as it is natural to suppose that men in the situation of Ezekiel and Daniel would be meditating the recovery of their country, and their own deliverance, it is reasonable to suppose that the accounts of dreams and visions with which these books are filled, are no other than a disguised mode of correspondence to facilitate those objects: it served them as a cypher, or secret alphabet.
She merely had a negative impulse towards the action and accepted it; and so negligible was the transaction in her record of her thoughts, so mere a cypher in the petty cash of the day's ledger, that in the evening when, gone up to bed, the letter was at last drawn out and kissed and read and answered, and then kissed and read again, no smallest feeling of remorse was suffered by her to reflect that the intended reading in the dozen opportunities of the day had not been done.
