Springing to land, he prostrated himself before Alan, kissing his feet as he had done on the previous night, and making a long speech. "That very good spirit," exclaimed Jeekie. "Like to see heathen in his darkness lick white gentleman's boot. He say you his lord and great magician who save his life, and know all Little Bonsa's secrets, which many and unrepeatable.
Thereupon the long-limbed clerk verified the taunt of "counter-jumper" by clearing it at a bound. The bully protested in a torrent of unrepeatable words. "I see," said the champion of decency, "you want a whipping, and I may as well give it you as any other man."
Raps might come from time to time on the locked door; Jimmy would hold up a warning finger for silence, while the outsider shot through the keyhole such remarks as "Jimmy Mason, loosen up. You've mixed my clothes again;" or, "Hi, Jimmy! give me the markings;" or, possibly, hurled a mass of unrepeatable terms at the unresponsive door.
The stories of the fall of Liége, Namur, Brussels, Antwerp. The massacres at Aerschot, at Louvain. Terrible stories that travelled from mouth to mouth among women. There was always rape and blood and filth mingled. Stories of a frightful fascination ... unrepeatable! Ah! The rouquin had informed her one day that the Belgian Government had come to Ostend.
To-morrow? It's Saturday! Coney?" "Oh!" He thought he detected the flash of a dimple. He did. Remember, she was very young and, being fanciful enough to find the witch in the face of her rooming house, the waves at Coney Island, peanut cluttered as they were apt to be, told her things.

She put you off with a hope, a promise, time after time. But she was quite as likely to put you off with a revelation, with an interpretation that was inimitable, unrepeatable. Bouchalka was not a reflective person. He had his own idea of what a great prima donna should be like, and he took it for granted that Mme. Garnet corresponded to his conception.
I asked, putting on a pair of large, round, clouded lenses, which my experience of ophthalmia has warned me to carry continually. Then, without interrupting my good host's torrent of unrepeatable congratulation, I turned aside and unstrapped a portion of Bunyip's pack. Presently I advanced and resumed my seat, with the ancestor of all pipes pendent from my mouth.
It is such progress as this that leads some men of science to believe that the creation of life itself is within the reach of chemistry. I do not believe that any occult or transcendental principle bars the way, but that some unknown and perhaps unknowable condition does, as mysterious and unrepeatable as that which separates our mental life from our physical.
I sent the servants away and her maid to bed so little reason for disquietude did there seem. Through the night she slept heavily, and brokenly that was the bad sign but then she would sit up, take her medicine, say unrepeatable things to me and sleep again. At four o'clock there were symptoms that alarmed me, I called the maid and sent for the doctor.
Is it the girl?" Pellams's affirmative was put in language unrepeatable in a book for young persons. "Something gone wrong?" "Yes," etc. Jimmy wished to offer consolation. "Can I do anything?" "Yes," growled the man in a dress suit. "You can give me a sweater and take me to Mayfield!" Now Jimmy was a true friend. He would have gone anywhere for Pellams.
