Brown winked again, cleared his throat, pulled up his shirt-collar and said, "I was goin' to quit soon as I ketched Potts's dog. He'd a bin splendid to bury out yer with the others. Lemme tell you how it is: The best thing to make grape-vines grow is dogs; bury 'em right down among the roots. Some people prefer grandmothers and their other relations. But gimme dogs and cats.

"All right! Hand it over," said Jimmy, fully conscious that he was the hero of more than usual interest. Cameron hesitated, then passed his letter over to Jimmy, who, reading the address with deliberate care, winked at the lanky boy, and with a jaunty step made towards a door at the farther end of the room.

Well, well, I dare say I should have done the same myself, for cakes and sweets are certainly nicer than corn and hay. And the donkey brayed in answer, and winked an eye at him, and, more amused than before, the man went away to tell his brother.

The question was not in any case satisfactorily answered; but I have reason to believe that a little selfish earning of private spending money is winked at.

"You may believe it," said Scaramouche, and again the acclamations rolled into thunder. Polichinelle and Rhodomont exchanged glances: indeed, the former winked, not without mirth. "Sacred name!" growled a voice behind them.

"Sling your hook." Buchanan winked at Stirling and me as the boy slouched off and the old man blandly resumed his writing. "Perhaps you'd like to look over the place?"
