The swimming-crabs are said to be "the largest, strongest, and hungriest" of English crabs. What a thought for those they live on! Let us picture to ourselves the largest, strongest, and hungriest of cannibals!
"The black sheep as well as the white?" "As customers." "Of course; that's all I mean," was returned. "I'd be sorry if you knew them in any other way some of them, at least." Then, after a pause, "Do you know a girl they call Pinky?" "I may know her, but not by that name. What kind of a looking person is she?"

And the reader will remember that Lady Glencora intended to be a Duchess of Omnium herself, unless some very unexpected event should intrude itself.

I was a novice in Paris, and I had not been accustomed to see women encroach upon the privilege which men alone generally enjoy. Yet mademoiselle Le Fel was not a bold-faced woman; she was even rather ladylike, but she was what is called above prejudices.

Oh! not from my babe can I bear that! Never will I have her here! I see it. It's that bold-faced woman he's got mixed up in, and she've been and made the young man think he'll go for to reform her.
"I guess Tylor has been paid off," said Bles, but Miss Taylor was too disgusted to answer. Further on they overtook a tall young yellow boy walking awkwardly beside a handsome, bold-faced girl. Two white men came riding by. One leered at the girl, and she laughed back, while the yellow boy strode sullenly ahead.
