Consistent in his odd tastes, the child set aside a ruddy faced lad, who was proposed as the drawer of this carriage, and selected instead, his grandfather, Glubb by name, a weazen, old, crab-faced man, in a suit of battered oilskins, who smelt like a weedy sea-beach when the tide is out.

Feeling that the answer was a shock to Miss Blimber's sensibility he added: "I haven't been well. I have been a weak child. I couldn't learn a Latin Grammar when I was out every day with old Glubb. I wish you would tell old Glubb to come and see me, if you please." "What a dreadful low name," said Mrs. Blimber. "Unclassical to a degree! Who is the monster, child?" "What monster!" inquired Paul.

That poor babe, Paul Dombey, might as well have been fed to an insatiable ogre as to have been placed in the hands of that pompous idiot. And our country is full of little Paul Dombeys, blossoming for eternity. How much better to have let the poor little fellow play in the sands upon the beach with his sister Florence and old Glubb.

Conductor James Miller, Ordnance Department, Bengal, gained the Cross on 28th October 1857, at great personal risk, by going to the assistance of a wounded officer, Lieutenant Glubb, of the late 38th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, whom he carried out of action. He was himself subsequently wounded, and sent to Agra.

And I wish, the child concluded, with a sudden falling of his countenance, and failing in his animation, as he looked like one forlorn, upon the three strange faces, 'that you'd let old Glubb come here to see me, for I know him very well, and he knows me. 'Ha! said the Doctor, shaking his head; 'this is bad, but study will do much.

And though old Glubb don't know why the sea should make me think of my Mama that's dead, or what it is that it is always saying always saying! he knows a great deal about it.

Selfishness two. Inclination to low company, as evinced in the case of a person named Glubb, originally seven, but since reduced. Gentlemanly demeanour four, and improving with advancing years." Now what I particularly wish to call your attention to, Dombey, is the general observation at the close of this analysis. Paul set himself to follow it with great care.

I have a portion of such a brick, not in this case purloined by me but given to me by another member of the group who got tired of carrying it The site had its own interesting museum and the whole was guarded by some smart Arab soldiers, members of the Arab Legion that had been formed after WWI by the British and that was under the command of Glubb Pahsa, an officer seconded for the job.

"Glubb," said Mrs. Blimber. "He's no more a monster than you are," returned Paul. "What!" cried the doctor, in a terrible voice. "Aye, aye, aye? Aha! What's that?" Paul was dreadfully frightened, but still he made a stand for the absent Glubb, though he did it trembling. "He's a very nice old man, ma'am," he said.

'Unclassical to a degree! Who is the monster, child? 'What monster? inquired Paul. 'Glubb, said Mrs Blimber, with a great disrelish. 'He's no more a monster than you are, returned Paul. 'What! cried the Doctor, in a terrible voice. 'Ay, ay, ay? Aha! What's that? Paul was dreadfully frightened; but still he made a stand for the absent Glubb, though he did it trembling.
