I know you better, Philippus you will never treat your lonely old friend so!"

The good old seaside has grown rather stale by this time the very children of to-day dig and paddle in a half-perfunctory sort of fashion, with a certain stolidity, and are in strange contrast to those highly elate and enchanting little romps that fill his seaside pictures. Indeed, nothing seems so jolly, nothing seems so funny, now, as when Leech was drawing for Punch.
And he sat down by the door; and one said to him, "Why art thou so dead pale? Why dost thou not call for the leech?" Then sung Thormod: "I am not blooming; and the fair And slender maiden loves to care For blooming youths. Few care for me, With Fenri's gold meal I can't fee;" and so forth, improvising after the old Norse fashion.

Thousands have altered their behavior, but answer me frankly surely not what we mean by their feeling?" "Yes, that too," said the leech with stern gravity. "Feeling, too, may change.

Keene's pen brought immense artistic prestige to Punch, but its social prestige it owes to du Maurier more than to anyone; we only become aware that Leech had begun a tradition in its pages by its supreme fulfilment in du Maurier's art.
You were struck down with a mace, but the leech says that the wound on your head is of no great consequence, and that you fainted rather from loss of blood from other gashes than from the blow on the head. I have got off with a scratch on the shoulder.

Just as I reached for the first mussel I felt something creeping around my left leg. I thought it was eel-grass; then I thought it was an eel. "Next thing I knowed it took holt like a leech in half a dozen places.
While the leech broke the seals of the tablets, which the abbess had carefully closed, and began to read the contents, Horapollo asked the gardener: "And the nuns? Did they all escape?" "Yes, Master! on the morning after we reached Doomiat, a trireme took them all out to sea." And the old man grumbled to himself: "The working bees killed and the Drones saved!"
