If he were going to live it might be; but when he thought how soon all earthly distinctions would be over for Wikkey, it seemed hardly worth while. "Very well," he said. "By-the-by, Wikkey, have you recollected your own other name?" "Yes, I've minded it. It's Whiston." "Do you remember your father and mother?" "I don't remember no father. Mother, she died after I took to the crossing."
"By-the-by, you had better look after your papers there, Herr Selingman. Just as I woke up I saw a small slip fluttering along the seat. You made a most infernal draught by opening that door, and I almost fancy it went out of the window." Herr Selingman's face became suddenly grave. He went through the papers one by one, and finally locked them up in his bag. "Nothing missing, I hope?"
Had we, by-the-by, asked Mr. van Buren if he'd any skippers up his sleeve? Oh, well, it didn't matter that we'd forgotten. He himself had the names of several, besides some men he had already seen, and he would interview them all.
‘And by-the-by,’ cried he, as I was leaving the room, ‘you’d better tell that d—d old sneak of a nurse to keep out of my way for a day or two; I’d pay her her wages and send her packing to-morrow, but I know she’d do more mischief out of the house than in it.’
By-the-by, talking of Humanity, do you know that our immortal Wiggins is not so original in his views of the Social Condition and so forth, as his contemporaries are inclined to suppose? Pundit assures me that the same ideas were put nearly in the same way, about a thousand years ago, by an Irish philosopher called Furrier, on account of his keeping a retail shop for cat peltries and other furs.
"And I suppose he must have heard you speak English," Annunziata added. "He lives at the presbytery." "And where, by-the-by, do you live?" asked the lady. "I live at the presbytery too," said Annunziata. "I am the niece of the parroco. I am the orphan of his only brother. My friend Prospero lives with us as a boarder. He is English." "Indeed?" said the lady.
There is hardly a great physical law which I have not brought to bear on the subject of that one small animal; and above all what is in itself worth a life's labour I have, I believe, discovered two entirely new laws of my own, though one of them, by-the-by, has been broached by Professor Brown since, in his lectures.
The male spirit described had been a man of very exceptional character and spirituality, whilst on earth. In spite of these facts the same "mistake," as I considered it, had consistently been made by every clairvoyant who described them; which, by-the-by, rules out telepathy as an explanation of these special experiences.
I will go to Avenel's. By-the-by, by-the-by, the squire might as well keep me still in the entail after Frank, supposing Frank die childless. This love affair may keep him long from marrying. His hand was very hot, a hectic colour; those strong-looking fellows often go off in rapid decline, especially if anything preys on their minds, their minds are so very small.
"By-the-by," said the postscript, "perhaps I ought to inform your lordship that I have never drawn a penny of income out of Hardbedloe since I ceased to live there." "It's a bishop's living," said the happy holder of it, "to one or two clerical friends, and Dr. thinks the patronage would be better in his hands than in mine.
