There's a story for the paper," said Francisco. "I must see the fellow." Robert Windham and Po Lun were out for a morning promenade. They often walked together of a Sunday.
Here Master Launcelot Bilks and Jacky Sylvester were fighting; Cyril Gilbraith was offering to take on the boxing man; Long Kirby was snapping up the odds against Red Wull; and Liz Burton and young Ned Hoppin were being photographed together, while Melia Ross in the background was pretending she didn't care. On the far bank of the stream was a little bevy of men and dogs, observed of all.
The buttons from my waistcoat flew with dull and sickening crack; my coat soon changed from brown to blue and then split up the back. Old Bilks gold-bricked me in that deal, but does his system pay?

For men who spend their hard-earned rocks won't patronize the man who must forever, when he talks, make truth an also ran. I bought a whole new suit of clothes from Bilks, across the street. He said to me: "Such rags as those just simply can't be beat. They ornament the clothier's trade, and eke the tailor's shears; they will not shrink, they will not fade, they'll last a hundred years.
Even James Moore was visibly moved as he worked his way through the cheering mob; and Owd Bob, trotting alongside him in quiet dignity, seemed to wave his silvery brush in acknowledgment. Master Jacky Sylvester alternately turned cart-wheels and felled the Hon. Launcelot Bilks to the ground.
