Well, except an "adorer" at times. I have to take him as my portion. An impassioned Caledonian has a little bothered me. I met him at Lady Pennon's, and have been meeting him, as soon as I put foot out of my house, ever since. If I could impress and impound him to marry Mary Paynham, I should be glad. By the way, I have consented to let her try at a portrait of me. No, I have no troubles.

McFarlane." "That's for a jury to decide," said Lestrade. "Anyhow, we shall have you on a charge of conspiracy, if not for attempted murder." "And you'll probably find that your creditors will impound the banking account of Mr. Cornelius," said Holmes. The little man started, and turned his malignant eyes upon my friend. "I have to thank you for a good deal," said he.

"But," said I again, "if the law gives me no protection and merely to authorize me to impound a creature with wings, is a mockery unworthy of the dignity of the law I may surely protect myself?

Aware that he was being treated to the honours of a great man of the neighbourhood, he determined to take it cheerfully. "Come; no laughing!" he said, directing a glance at the maids who were ranged behind their mistresses.

In the latter case, however, buffaloes are usually the objects of pursuit, and no fence is attempted the hunters trusting to their horses to keep the wild oxen inclosed. The "pound" is another mode of capturing wild animals practised by several tribes of Indians in the Hudson's Bay territory. In this case the game is the caribou or reindeer, but no rope fence would serve to impound these.

There'll be more water than Molick can impound unless he raises a big concrete dam, and before he can do that we'll have legally established our own rights, I think." They resumed their way to the valley to measure the water there, and for some time were kept busy, Dave helping his friend make the calculations.

IV. No. 5; by either of which I was fully authorized to seize and impound all trespassers a limit and license that included dragons. My defence was allowed to be a sensible and rational one; but the law was opposed to it, and their worships were bound by oath to prefer the law to common sense. I need scarcely add, that I returned home a wiser and sadder man.

In addition to the gigantic Canal system, provision had to be made for suitable reservoirs to impound the water after the seasonal thaws at the poles. To this end immense reservoirs were constructed at most canal intersections. In some instances the reservoirs are established between parallel canals; but in every case smaller canals, or laterals, always intersect at these points.
