To use it carelessly would be like washing in men's blood And here, most marvellously, with my dream come true, I lie in the whitest of white beds.

"Denis Quirk is white," a compositor remarked emphatically to Tim O'Neill. "White!" replied Tim. "He is snow-white. He is the biggest and the whitest thing in Grey Town outside Miss O'Connor." "Where shall I put the old gown?" sighed Molly Healy as she surveyed a trunk already packed to overflowing.

The person I mean was a buxom dame of about thirty, her fingers loaded with many a silver ring, and three or four of gold; her ankles liberally displayed from under her numerous blue, white, and scarlet; short petticoats, and attired in hose of the finest and whitest lamb's-wool, which arose from shoes of Spanish cordwain, fastened with silver buckles.

Witness the fact that, earlier in the day, he had deposited his heavy baggage at that house of many partings, many meetings, Radley's Hotel, Southampton; and journeyed on to Marychurch with a solitary, eminently virgin, cowhide portmanteau, upon the yellow-brown surface of which the words "Thomas Clarkson Verity, passenger Bombay, first cabin R.M.S.
