"W-wahn't that the price you fixed?" asked Jethro, innocently. Wetherell choked. The man outside shook the door again, and people on the sidewalk stopped, and presently against the window panes a sea of curious faces gazed in upon them. Mr. Bass's thoughts apparently were fixed on Eternity he looked neither at the people nor at Wetherell.
English is not spoken; Bass's pale ale has not yet penetrated into Dauphiny; nor do you encounter London tourists carrying their tin baths about with them as you do in Switzerland.

Duncan tells me the town-meeting results are very good all over the state. Even if we hadn't knocked out Jethro Bass, we'd have a fair majority for our bill in the next legislature." "You know Bass's saying," answered Mr. Flint, "You can hitch that kind of a hoss, but they won't always stay hitched." "I know, I know," said Mr. Worthington; "don't croak, Flint.

Thistle was an excellent seaman, who had been one of Bass's whale-boat crew in 1798, and had volunteered for service with the Investigator.
The island of Tasmania forms another province, and is separated from Victoria by Bass's Strait, the two being within half a day's sail of each other.
