Off I went, and after a brisk trot, five or six minutes long, reached my tree, saw my bird perched on a broken limb close to the time-blanched trunk, cocked my Joe Manton, and was in the very act of taking aim, when something so peculiar in the motion of the bird attracted me, that I paused. He was nodding like a sleepy man, and seemed with difficulty to retain his foot-hold.
She was hardly more than five minutes behind time, yet received a sharp reprimand from Professor Manton, and a black mark. Of course she was angry and indignant, and plainly showed that she was; not mending matters in the least thereby. In sullen displeasure she took the seat assigned her, and glancing over the table, was tempted to turn away in disgust.
"I wish to Heaven, Hector," said the Antiquary, next morning after breakfast, "you would spare our nerves, and not be keeping snapping that arquebuss of yours." "Well, sir, I'm sure I'm sorry to disturb you," said his nephew, still handling his fowling-piece; "but it's a capital gun it's a Joe Manton, that cost forty guineas."
"This is a film made with the co-operation of Doctor Nagoya of the Castleton Institute and I am told by Mr. Manton that it is one of the finest snake pictures ever made." Kennedy spoke fast, so that we would get the full benefit of his explanation and so that it would not be necessary to subject the negative to the wear and tear of the sprocket wheels in the projection machine again.

"But there's not a spot in the shoal except the Eel's Gate that we've a ghost of a chance of getting through," cried Manton, becoming excited as the schooner dashed towards the breakers like a furious charger rushing on destruction. "I know it." "And there's barely water on that to float us over," he added, striding forward, and laying a hand on the wheel.
Manton monopolized Enid completely, insisting upon talking over everything under the sun, from the wardrobe she would need in Stella's part and the best sort of personal advertising campaign for her, to the first available evening when she could go to dinner with him. She sat in the rear seat, between Kennedy and the promoter, which did not add to my sense of comfort.
"Don't pass up the chance, Enid," he pleaded. "What can Pentangle do for you? And I've always wanted to direct you again " "I'll make it twelve hundred," Manton interrupted, "if you'll make the contract personally with me. Then if Manton Pictures " "All right!"
