Then he goes out rather hastily. I return to the supper-table. "Shake hands!" cries Algy, pouring me out a glass of claret.
Algernon signified the opening of his intelligence with his eyelids, pronouncing "by jingos" and "by Joves," to ease the sudden rush of ideas within him. "You might have let me into the secret, Ned. I'd lose any number of tens to Peggy Lovell, but a fellow don't like to be in the dark." "Except, Algy, that when you carry light, you're a general illuminator. Let the matter drop.

Men from these regiments can be picked out to-day in London. If you see an Australian in a slouch-hat galloping his horse down Rotten Row, expecting "Algy" and "Gertrude" to give him a clear course, be sure it's a "Coo-ee!" When some Australian sprawls in the Trocadero, inviting himself to table with the Earl of So-and-so, asking him to pass the butter, it's likely to be one of the "Kangaroos."
Algy is eating nothing, and is drinking every thing that is offered to him. His face is not much redder than Musgrave's, and he is glancing across the table at Mrs. Huntley, with the haggard anger of his eyes. Of this, however, she seems innocently unaware.

He is beginning to discern good wine from bad, which may be a hopeful augury." "I will order Holmes to send some down to him when he has done a week's real duty at the Bank." "Sooner or later, then.
