She and Edgar Tomlinson looked as near right as anything you'd see in Washington Square. Vernabelle said the true spirit of Bohemia knew neither time nor place; it was wherever those gathered who were doing things, and wasn't it splendid that even here in this crude Western town a few of the real sort could meet and make their own little quarter and talk about the big things, the lasting things!
I did not rush out instantly to discover the cause. Young ladies sometimes scream at wasps and caterpillars. Then I heard Tomlinson say, 'Fetch Mr. Hilton at once, and I ran into Harris, who blurted out, 'Mr. Fenley has been shot, sir. "After that, I scarcely know what I said or how I acted.
Augustus Tomlinson, which captivated the senses of our young hero; then, too, he was exceedingly smartly attired, wore red heels and a bag, had what seemed to Paul quite the air of a "man of fashion;" and, above all, he spouted the Latin with a remarkable grace! Some days afterwards, MacGrawler sent our hero to Mr. Tomlinson's lodgings, with his share of the joint abuse upon the poet.
Tomlinson had neither visited Tunis nor Tripoli, though he had been resident at Malta some three years. This is too bad; and it is quite clear the Bishop does not understand the object of his mission in the Mediterranean.
Tomlinson, I am expressing myself with as great brevity as possible to that institution, academy, college, school, university, now known and reputed to be Plutoria University, of the city of etc., etc." He paused a moment. "Now what special objects or purposes shall I indicate?" he asked.

Your first adventure was house breaking, I think I have heard you say. I confess it was a vulgar debut, not worthy of you!" "No! Harry Cook seduced me; but the specimen I saw that night disgusted me of picking locks; it brings one in contact with such low companions. Only think, there was a merchant, a rag-merchant, one of the party!" "Faugh!" said Tomlinson, in solemn disgust.
It was a delicious contrast, the boisterous "ha, ha!" of Long Ned, and the secret, dry, calculating chuckle of Augustus Tomlinson. It was Rabelais against Voltaire. The graceless dogs were especially merry upon the subject of the sage's former occupation. "Come, Mac, you carve this ham," said Ned; "you have had practice in cutting up."
He made one stride to the place beside the cart, where, we have said, lay some of the robbers' weapons; he had been anticipated, the weapons were gone. The next moment Tomlinson had sprung up the steps. "Lovett! Lovett! Lovett!" shouted he. The captain, who had followed his comrades into the cavern, was already in the grasp of two men.
'I say the word presbyterian is derived from John Presbyter, a miserable fanatic who wore a suit of leather, and went about from town to village, and from village to hamlet, inoculating the vulgar with the asinine virus of dissent. 'Come, Byles, that seems a deal more likely, said Mr. Tomlinson, in a conciliatory tone, apparently of opinion that history was a process of ingenious guessing.
