No automaton this, geared and set to perform certain fixed duties with mechanical precision, but a lithe, strong man in hard training, fighting with every foul trick known to his murderous ilk. But Costigan was no tyro in the art of dirty fighting.
The only surviving member of the firm of Marlowe, Thorpe what I said before was, at the time with which this story deals, Sir Mallaby Marlowe, son of the original founder of the firm and father of the celebrated black-faced comedian, Samuel of that ilk; and the outer office, where callers were received and parked till Sir Mallaby could find time for them, was occupied by a single clerk.
In an epistle to his friend Betton, high sheriff of the county, who had sent to him for a peck of seed corn, he says: "Soon plantin' time will come again, Syne may the heavens gie us rain, An' shining heat to bless ilk plain An' fertile hill, An' gar the loads o' yellow grain, Our garrets fill.
Of the northern lands in summer, it may be said, as of the heaven of heavens, that there is no night there. And by and by the moon also would attend the steps of the returning children of labour. "Noo, lads an' lasses, afore we hae worship, rin, ilk ane o' ye," said the mother, "an' pu' heather to mak a bed to the wee man i' the neuk there, at the heid o' oors.
Friendship has never been properly praised, begging pardon in passing of Mr. Emerson and his ilk.

Wigfall and others of that ilk breathing at once defiance and hopefulness, while admitting the difficulties in the way of the new Confederacy. No amount of privation could force us to remain in a Union on unequal terms. England and France would not allow our great staple to be dammed up within our present limits; the starving thousands in their midst would not allow it.

Sibley was just sufficiently excited by wine to act out recklessly his evil self. "What's the matter, Stanton?" he exclaimed.
"Oh," said ilk ane at ance, "it's with our constant spin-spin-spinning." "Is that the case?" cried the gentleman; "then, John, Tam, and Dick, fie, go haste and burn every rock, and reel, and spinning-wheel in the house, for I'll not have my wife to spoil her bonnie face with spin-spin-spinning." And so the lady lived happily with her gudeman all the rest of her days.
