"Not if they will compromise. If they will be reasonable, they will not be Blue-Pooled; if they think they can have everything their own way, the eels will be at them before morning." A voice was heard from the head of Panky which he had buried in his arms upon the table. "Co-co-co-compromise," it said; and the effect was so comic that every one except Hanky smiled.

He said Hanky had been unable to come with him, and that he was himself Professor Panky." Yram again smiled very sweetly. "Then, my dear boy," she said, "I am all the more anxious that you should not see him now. See nobody but the servants and your brothers, and wait till I can enlighten you. I must not stay another moment; but tell me this much, have you seen any signs of poachers lately?"

Hanky keeps Hanky well out of it; Panky must have a base of operations in Panky. Hanky will lead him by the nose, bit by bit, for his is the master spirit. In England Panky would be what we call an extreme ritualist." "Then the real battle will be between Hanky and Dr. Downie. Which will carry the day?" "For the present, probably Hanky.

"Why, can you not see?" said Panky, who was by way of being great at conjectural emendations. No man in his senses would dream of such a thing.

"Well, well: on second thoughts I am not sure, Panky, but what you may be right after all; it is possible that he may be what I said he was in my sermon." "I rejoice to hear you say so," said George, "for in this case the charge of poaching will fall through.

"I will be obedience itself but you will not ask me to do anything that will make your mother or you think less well of me?" "If we tell you what you are to do, we shall not think any the worse of you for doing it. Then I may say to my mother that you will be good and give no trouble not even though we bid you shake hands with Hanky and Panky?"

As they were leaving the room Panky sidled up to my father and said, "There is a point, Mr. Higgs, which you can settle for me, though I feel pretty certain how you will settle it. I think that a corruption has crept into the text of the very beautiful "
