With the enthusiastic egotism of the true artist he went over his most celebrated performances, and smiled bitterly to himself as he recalled to mind his last appearance as 'Red Ruben, or the Strangled Babe, his debut as 'Gaunt Gibeon, the Blood-sucker of Bexley Moor, and the furore he had excited one lovely June evening by merely playing ninepins with his own bones upon the lawn-tennis ground.

'A joke's a joke; but a brave man's death's a mighty bad joke. She's a little blood-sucker that lady o yours. And nobody but Nelson'd ha dared to say it." The boy was staring hard.
