If the fellow in his line, or some other that he knows something about, belongs to a certain club, he has to belong to it even if the club doesn't want him or he wouldn't look well in it. He wants to have the same tailor, the same grocer, smoke the same brand of cigars and go to the same summer resort as the other fellow. They even want to look alike. God!
Yet a cosy sitting down together they had, Tom's host being singularly attentive to him, while they partook of the nice edibles. "Tom," said the grocer, as they sat back from the table, "I've heard good accounts of you;" and his voice grew soft and tremulous; "and I'm really glad of it.
"I was not aware that you had ever seen my wife," said Jones, looking searchingly at the grocer. "I never saw her plainly," said Gottlieb. "She came into my store once or twice, but always closely veiled. So I cannot be sure; and, of course, if you insist that this is not your wife's body, I must be mistaken."

Remembering their first encounter, the grocer tried to outstare him; but Gourlay hardened his glower, and the grocer blinked. When the two passed, "I declare!" said the bodies, "did ye see yon? they're not on speaking terms!" And they hotched with glee to think that Gourlay had another enemy.
But he was deeply moved on this question of clubbing strikers' heads; and you could see that the crowd was only waiting for a chance to shout its indignation. The chairman introduced the president of the Restaurant Workers, a solid citizen whom you would have taken for a successful grocer.
Avenel's proposer and seconder the one a large grocer, the other the proprietor of a new shop for ticketed prints, shawls, blankets, and counterpanes, a man, who, as he boasted, dealt with the People for ready money, and no mistake, at least none that he ever rectified next followed. Both said much the same thing. Mr.

So far from objecting to the Ideal Shepherd, I wish there were an Ideal Postman, an Ideal Grocer, and an Ideal Plumber.
