"By Jove!" he said, "I don't wonder you bewitched the sheriff. I must take care or you will bewitch the captain, too." At this notion he smiled, but he also ceased looking at her. Suddenly the Egyptian again began to cry. "You're angry wi' me," she sobbed. "I wish I had never set een on you." "Why do you wish that?" Halliwell asked.
He sat brooding in his office, when the business letters were written to the Bank-manager; to Captain Halliwell, the Police-magistrate at Leuraville; to the Manager of the Eastern and Australian Steam Navigation Depot, Leuraville, enclosing a draft to pay the passage; to the Captain of the boat advertised for that trip, who happened to be an acquaintance of his all recommending Lady Bridget to the different people's care all anticipating and arranging against every possible drawback to her comfort on the voyage all carefully stating the object of her trip to England business connected with the death of a near relative.
Rom. and Jul., I., iii., 76, "Why, he's a man of wax," where Dr. Steevens happily compared Horace's "cerea Telephi brachia." The old spelling for "bawbles." "Slug. A ship which sails badly." Halliwell. I cannot recall another instance of the use of the word in this sense.

"Don't tell me the woman has escaped?" "I have her, I have her! She capsized the lamp, the little jade. Shut the door."
Suddenly the Egyptian's beautiful face was close to his, and she pressed a divit into his hand, at the same time pointing at the officer, and whispering "Hit him." Gavin flung the clod of earth, and hit Halliwell on the head. I say I cannot explain this. I tell what happened, and add with thankfulness that only the Egyptian witnessed the deed.
