"Why, do you know, I asked a half dozen of the men one after the other to go skeeing with me this morning and not one of them accepted!" "Really!" Mr. Sam exclaimed mockingly. "What can you do with people like that?" Mr. Pierce went on. "They don't want to be well; they're all hypocrites. Look at that man Biggs!
George was not there, nor could she hear him, and she was constrained to knock on the closed door, but the face of Mrs. Biggs, who appeared after a stealthy pause, was not encouraging to the visitor. She looked at Miriam and her thin lips parted and joined again without speech. "I want Mr. Halkett," Miriam said, straightening herself and speaking haughtily because she guessed that Mrs.
His genealogy, birth, and education are, I take it, of little account to this chronicle, which is only concerned with his friendship for Biggs and the result thereof.

"I was telling him that Biggs asked Celestine to go for a ride in the car with him." "I'll knock his block off," muttered the incensed Jerry. Ogden laughed derisively. "Yes, you will!
It made Biggs and Thatcher responsible to Garcia for all the money the Grand Master of Avarice had made out of it. Mr. District Attorney was apparently distressed, but resigned. Messrs. Biggs and Thatcher were really distressed and combative.
"You 'eard wot the conjurer said the other night, that the last time he tried 'e failed, and 'ad to give eighteenpence to the man wot the watch 'ad belonged to." "That was by way of a joke like," ses the conjurer to John Biggs. "I can always do it. I'm going to do it now. Will somebody 'ave the kindness to lend me a watch?"
