"Our distinguished guests, Professors Hanky and Panky, both of them justly celebrated archaeologists, had availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them by their visit to Sunch'ston, to inspect the mysterious statues at the head of the stream that comes down near this city, and which have hitherto baffled all those who have tried to ascertain their date and purpose.
As for this fellow, he may be speaking the truth, but I distrust him." "The man is all right, Panky," said Hanky, "and seems to be a decent fellow enough." Then to my father, "How many brace have you got?" And he looked at them a little wistfully. "I have been at it all day, sir, and I have only got eight brace. I must run down ten more brace to-morrow." "I see, I see."
I need not dwell on the deep disgust with which this speech was listened to, but the Mayor, and Yram, and George said not a word. "But, Mayoress," said Panky, who had not opened his lips so far, "are you sure that you are not too hasty in believing this stranger to be the Sunchild?
It kindles for the ridiculous Hanky and Panky, professors respectively of worldly wisdom and worldly unwisdom at Bridgeford, and hence, according to Mr. Acklom, the antipathy toward Butler of all college professors.
During the very short time that we can be together, you shall be paid in full, and may heaven protect us both." As soon as my father could speak he said, "But how did your mother find out that I was in Erewhon?" "Hanky and Panky were dining with her, and they told her some things that she thought strange.
My father soon found that not even Panky could manipulate his teaching more freely than the Doctor had done. My father had taught that when a man was dead there was an end of him, until he should rise again in the flesh at the last day, to enter into eternity either of happiness or misery.
Humdrum, and Professors Hanky and Panky, who all of them could see what the interpreter meant, but denied that the prisoner could be mistaken for the Sunchild for more than a few seconds. No doubt the prisoner's unhappy delusion has been fostered, if not entirely caused, by his having been repeatedly told that he was like the Sunchild. The celebrated Dr.
I will kiss the reliquary, and when I meet Hanky and Panky at your table, I will be sworn brother to them so long, that is, as George is out of hearing; for I cannot lie well to them when he is listening." "Oh yes, you can. He will understand all about it; he enjoys falsehood as well as we all do, and has the nicest sense of when to lie and when not to do so." "What gift can be more invaluable?"
Here Panky laid his arms on the table, buried his head in them, and burst into tears. Every one seemed aghast, but the Mayor, Yram, and Mrs. Humdrum saw that George was enjoying it all far too keenly to be serious. Dr. George pounded away ruthlessly at his case. "I say nothing about your having bought quails from the prisoner and eaten them.
Yes, of course it is Sunday is the first. Besides, it is on our permit. To-morrow we can rest; what, I wonder, can we do on Saturday? But the others will be here then, and we can tell them about the statues." "Yes, but mind you do not blurt out anything about the landrails." "I think we may tell Dr. Downie." "Tell nobody," said Panky.
