John Bellew came of the old hard and hardy stock that had crossed the plains by ox-team in the fifties, and in him was this same hardness and the hardness of a childhood spent in the conquering of a new land. "You're not living right, Christopher. I'm ashamed of you." "Primrose path, eh?" Kit chuckled. The older man shrugged his shoulders. "Shake not your gory locks at me, avuncular.
"Knack, my boy, knack and a spine." Kit took off his hat reverently. "You're a wonder, avuncular, a shining wonder. D'ye think I can learn the knack?" John Bellew shrugged his shoulders. "You'll be hitting the back trail before we get started." "Never you fear," Kit groaned. "There's O'Hara, the roaring lion, down there. I'm not going back till I have to." Kit's first pack was a success.

But whether vital force, as a distinct correlate, is paternal or filial, brotherly or sisterly, avuncular or amital in its relationship, is not stated. But to eliminate the value of x is what troubles them.

Wilfred Bohun stood rooted to the spot long enough to see the idiot go out into the sunshine, and even to see his dissolute brother hail him with a sort of avuncular jocularity. The last thing he saw was the colonel throwing pennies at the open mouth of Joe, with the serious appearance of trying to hit it.
He speedily quitted his desk at Hobson Brothers; and let us presume that Barnes thought Mr. B. had old all the other clerks of the avuncular quarrel. That conviction will make us imagine Barnes still more comfortable.
He had anticipated every variety and form of question. But Mr. Tutt put none. He merely smiled benignly upon Caput in an avuncular fashion. "Have you no questions, Mr. Tutt?" inquired His Honor. "None," answered the lawyer. "Then prove the bigamous marriage," directed Judge Russell.
To Lilly it seemed that out of these years of apparently placid relationship, with something avuncular, even of father and son in it, here were suddenly and terribly Cain and Abel, elemental with an itch for each other's throat.

Clive had passed the avuncular banking-house in the City, without caring to face his relatives there. Mr. Newcome was now in sole command, Mr. Barnes being absent at Newcome, the Baronet little likely ever to enter bank-parlour again. But his bounden duty was to wait on the ladies; and of course, only from duty's sake, he went the very first day and called in Park Lane.
