I have read it with relish and entire agreement. Would that we could do something, at once dignified and effective, to knock Mr. Bryan once for all into a cocked hat!

The publication of this letter came at a most inopportune time for the Wilson candidacy, and how to meet it was one of the most difficult problems that the Wilson forces had to face.

Lestrange, who was close to him, half hidden by a bookcase that stood out from the wall. "Good morning, Armour!" said Lestrange. "Your young man does not seem to relish books!" "In a grand place like this, sir," remarked Richard, taking answer upon himself, "such a library as I never saw, except, of course, at the British Museum, it makes a man sorry to discover indications of neglect."

They did not relish the intrusion of Northern men into their office, to compel the insertion of Union editorials, but they bore the inconvenience with an excellent grace. The foreman of the establishment displayed more mortification at the change, than any other person whom we met. The editorials we published were of a positive character.

Holt, filling his horn cup with tea from the kettle, 'they equally relish fried porcupines and skunks; but some of their viands might tempt an alderman such as elk's nose, beaver's tail, and buffalo's hump.

You have miscalled me by two names Bastard and Pauper. Who has put those lies into your mouth, the taste of which you seem to relish so?"

Mehrman, whose head was by this time probably reminding him that there are 'lees to every cup, did not seem to relish the humour. He began grasping one wrist with the other hand, working his hand slowly round his wrist, and I noticed that Juggroo immediately changed the subject.

Raja struggled to be after him, but I held tightly to his neck, an act which he did not seem to relish, for he turned on me with bared fangs.
