Keefe started up with a curse.
'My venerable friend is well? cried Mr Pecksniff. 'Quite well. It seemed to reassure the anxious inquirer. He clasped his hands and, looking upwards with a pious joy, silently expressed his gratitude. He then looked round on the assembled group, and shook his head reproachfully. For such a man severely, quite severely. 'Oh, vermin! said Mr Pecksniff. 'Oh, bloodsuckers!
"Those Temple hounds," he muttered, staring at Guy Little who stared butlerishly back, "are leeches, parasites, cursed bloodsuckers and hangers-on. They think I'm goin' to take this boy in an' give him all I got; they think they see a chance to marry him into their rotten crowd an' slip one over on me this way!

You've always promised me that we should make our way toward the heath. For months now I've heard nothing of Father Lasse and Karna.

After one of these bloodsuckers is fairly fixed upon the body of man or beast, it will not give up its hold until it has drawn its fill of blood. When this condition is reached, the leech drops off, and, like a snake after a hearty meal, it becomes dormant for a long time. There are plenty of reptiles in all parts of Ceylon, but, as we have said, they keep mostly hidden from human beings.

For no sooner have the pirates been caught than they give over to Herod and Annas their booty except a small stipend. Then are these murderers turned loose to get yet more booty for the accursed bloodsuckers called priests and kings.
Gretzinger walked to the wall, where he reached down his overcoat and put it on. "The ditch will go to weeds first," he said. "The offer's open until to-morrow night," said Pat. "You bloodsuckers can't put anything over on me," was the Easterner's departing declaration, as he opened the door. "I'm on to you, Carrigan. You're backing Bryant and will finish the ditch.
The young man shuddered as if at a blasphemy "This is our country of France. I would rid it of the English and all foreign bloodsuckers." "And your way is to foment the quarrel among Frenchmen?
