Jenkin's position at Edinburgh led to a partnership in cable work with Sir William Thomson, for whom he always had a love and admiration. Jenkin's clear, practical, and business-like abilities were doubtless an advantage to Sir William, relieving him of routine, and sparing his great abilities for higher work.
Mr Jenkin's Illness Captain Jenkin The Golden Wedding Death of Uncle John Death of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Illness and Death of the Captain Death of Mrs. Jenkin Effect on Fleeming Telpherage The End. AND now I must resume my narrative for that melancholy business that concludes all human histories.
Astor M'Kree had made a queer addition to the side of Stee Jenkin's house by building against one end of it part of an old fishing boat which had been wrecked in the floodtime, and stranded on the bluff upon which the little house was perched. In this peculiar abode Jervis took his residence, while Mrs.
The screens on which these gems are hung attract fully as much as the walls with their more ambitious freight; and Jenkin's rustic lasses, and Topham's Irish groups, and Alfred Fripp's dark-eyed Italian monks and Campagna peasants, are as much gazed at as Richardson's sunny landscapes or Bentley's breezy seas. Five minutes' walk takes us to the new society.
Stevenson was a constant visitor at their home, joining heartily in these plays and looking forward to them, although he never took any very important part. After Professor Jenkin's death Stevenson wrote his biography, and says it was a "mingled pain and pleasure to dig into the past of a dead friend, and find him, at every spadeful, shine brighter."

While yet a midshipman, he accompanied Mr.
"No, I am not a preacher, but a hay-hand from Jenkin's ranch. I walked in to church yesterday, and am just getting back this morning." "You are more serious about such things than some people I know, to walk that far to hear a sermon," laughed the man. "Perhaps, but I find it worth being serious about," good-naturedly replied Austin.

Because I at present hold most strongly the contrary opinion, that it is the individual differences or general variability of species that enables them to become modified and adapted to new conditions.
I always thought individual differences more important than single variations, but now I have come to the conclusion that they are of paramount importance, and in this I believe I agree with you. Fleeming Jenkin's arguments have convinced me. I heartily congratulate you on your new book being so nearly finished. Believe me, my dear Wallace, yours very sincerely, 9 St.
"Here is to thee, Jin Vin, my lad, in all loving kindness, whatever spite thou bearest to me, that have always been a mother to thee." Jenkin's English good-nature could not resist this forcible appeal; he took up the other glass, and lovingly pledged the dame in her cup of reconciliation, and proceeded to make a kind of grumbling apology for his own violence
