I've hit the right nail, isn't it an excellent and most transmigratory art? Then begin with Cheetham. By-the-bye, the Anomaly has spotted a defective grindstone there. Scrutinize all his departments severely; for no man values his people's lives less than my good friend John Cheetham. Away with you both; and God speed you."
"By-the-bye," he added, turning to the children; "you want to go somewhere or another, don't you?" "Yes, to England," said Dick, eagerly. "Do you go there, please?" "H'm! Never heard of the place as I knows of," said the Skipper, scratching his head. "We might cruise about till we come across it, if you like, though." "Never heard of England!" exclaimed Dick.
'Don't, said Newman, gliding out of his recess, and accompanying her across the hall. 'Don't cry, don't cry. Two very large tears, by-the-bye, were running down Newman's face as he spoke. 'I see how it is, said poor Noggs, drawing from his pocket what seemed to be a very old duster, and wiping Kate's eyes with it, as gently as if she were an infant. 'You're giving way now.
"Well, then, see if you can't learn to make tea; and, by-the-bye, Ethel, which is the next christening Sunday?" "The one after next, surely. The first of December is Monday yes, to-morrow week is the next." "Then I have thought of something; it would cost eighteenpence to hire Joliffe's spring-cart, and we might have Mrs. Taylor and the twins brought to church in it.
"And all four making tulips as full-blown as could be!" "By-the-bye, is it true what they say of Ninny Moulin?" "What?" "Why that he is a writer, and scribbles pamphlets on religion." "Yes, it is true. I have often seen him at my employer's, with whom he deals; a bad paymaster, but a jolly fellow!" "And pretends to be devout, eh?"
John, calling to mind its natural propensity to gossip, especially on the evening of a market-day, when the shopkeepers, their labours over, would be standing in a speculative mood at their doors, surrounded by groups of friends and neighbours, felt shy of showing herself on the square with Robert, and proposed that they should part, giving as a by-the-bye reason that she had a little shopping to do as she went home.
"Ah, vivacious and ardent youth!" replied the burgomaster, recalling his own past. "We have also been thus, my worthy counsellor! We have loved we too! We have danced attendance in our day! Till to-night, then, till to-night! By-the-bye, do you know this Fiovaranti is a great artist? And what a welcome he has received among us!

I don't think you've grown much, Francie and oh, by-the-bye, I believe there's a tuck that could be let down. 'Yes, said Frances, 'there are little tucks a lot above the hem. 'Then I'll run up and tell Phebe to get them out, yours at least.
"Oh! by-the-bye," continued her companion, "I have a letter from Cleveland this morning. I wonder how any misunderstanding could possibly have existed between you, for he speaks of you in such terms." "What does he say?" was the quick question. "Oh! what does he say?" drawled out Vivian; and he yawned, and was most provokingly uncommunicative. "Come, come, Mr. Grey, do tell me."
There's something to be done about the settlements, by-the-bye; you'd better dine at the Abbey this evening. John Lovell will be there to meet you." The carriage drove away; and though the Major pushed his way through the crowd pretty rapidly, he was too late to witness its departure.
