Nevertheless there were occasions when Nickie the Kid deliberately undertook to earn his daily bread. For a week he served as waiter in a six penny restaurant. He had been a "super" in drama and a practical crocodile in pantomime and was long in the employ of a fashionable undertaker as second in command on the hearse.
Triumphant, reckless, panting, scarcely knowing what she did in her excitement, Pequita, suddenly running backward, with the lightness of thistle-down flying before the wind, snatched the flag of the country from a super standing by, and dancing forward again, waved it aloft, till with a final abandonment of herself to the humour of the moment, she sprang with a single bound towards the Royal box, and there the youthful incarnation of living, breathing passion, fury, patriotism, and exultation in one, dropped on one knee, the flag waving behind her, the dagger pointed straight upward, full at the King!

Not that Father is regarded as a Principal in the up-to-date Household. Still, he is useful as a Super. The old Gentleman was so soft that he nearly tipped his Hand.
Travis spoke quickly to hide her bitterness. "He was so sure that what he had made was good an inventor has always, my dear, an irrational love for the thing he has created and to have it spurned! He was supersensitive, super everything. Then my own health went to pieces.
Half-naked children crawled about in rags. On the damp, mildewed walls there was hung a picture of the Benicia Boy, and close by Pio Nono, crook in hand, with the usual inscription, "Feed my sheep." The Doctor looked at it. "'Tu es Petrus, et super hanc' Good God! what is truth?" he muttered, bitterly. He dragged her closer to the women, through the darkness and foul smell.
I trust that I was able to bear your very considerable abridgment of my lucubrations with a spirit becoming a Christian. Dissolve frigus, large super foco ligna reponens, is a rule for the young, whose wood-pile is yet abundant for such cheerful lenitives. A good life behind him is the best thing to keep an old man's shoulders from shivering at every breath of sorrow or ill-fortune.
"Of course I do," said Tom; "and a noble good fellow he is." "Exactly," said Burnside; "super of police; distinguished in Indian wars; nephew of my Lord Covetown. An Irishman is Desborough, but far from objectionable." This by way of first volume: now comes his second:
