As soon as I was able to get out of bed, I was taken once each week to St. Dunstan's to talk with other men in residence there a species of initiation.
By the time that he had stepped inside, Topham also discovered the presence of the K.C. likewise engaged. "I've just had a good lesson in the pranks that a man's eyes and ears may play upon him," announced Topham, unbelting his sword. Then he related, with relish, the occurrence at Dunstan's tent. "Humph!" grunted Captain Bates. "You say Mr. Prescott was there?" "Yes, Captain."
Drabdump had an immediate vision of Snoppet, the neighbouring horologist, keeping the clock in hand for weeks and then returning it only superficially repaired and secretly injured more vitally "for the good of the trade."

The hour of noon was accordingly heard to peal from Saint Dunstan's. "Well banged, brave hammers!" said Lord Dalgarno, in triumph. "The estate and lands of Glenvarloch are crushed beneath these clanging blows.

She drew his rough cheek down to hers and patted his brown hands. She knew then the bitterness of his defeat, and she made no comment. She was tired of the fight.
Kahn makes it possible for the people of New York to listen to good music at the Metropolitan Opera House. When war came, at his country place in London he made it next to possible for the blind to see. He gave the key of the estate to C. Arthur Pearson.
