They all scream together in Languedocian, which, by-the-bye, is anything but melodious here when spoken by the common people. It becomes much less twangy and harsh a little farther South. How these six charmers on chairs can all listen and talk at the same time is not easy to understand. The truth is, very little listening is done in this part of the world.
By-the-bye, when a man of the world falls into a bit of luck, has a few shillings extra in his pocket I'm ashamed to speak of it, but there's a rule of conduct in the case. No treating, no purchase of expensive class-books, no squaring of old debts; borrow, don't lend." "Macfarlane," began Fettes, still somewhat hoarsely, "I have put my neck in a halter to oblige you."
'They all do it in Paris, Owen, and what's the harm? Besides, it was only Saturday night; and we never do play Sundays, as you will see to-day. By-the-bye, what's gone with that Methodistical, lack-a-daisical Gladys? Is mother as mad about her as ever? 'She saved your mother's life when there was no one else to nurse her, and is an angel, if ever there was one!
He now turned to his companions. "And where do you propose to pass the two hours that must elapse?" "At the bottom of yonder field is a thicket, where we shall be free from observation. We can smoke our pipes there. By-the-bye, the patrol goes round about midnight." "We must be cautious," said Hunston. "Come along, then."
But you must not go you must not leave your work " "Oh, my work can be easily done by somebody else. That is what this telegram is about, by-the-bye. I must send an answer, and it depends upon your decision." "Can I not consult any one? My uncle? Mr. Colquhoun?" "You know Mr. Colquhoun's opinion. My father will think exactly as you and I do.
By-the-bye," added the speaker, turning with something like a sneer on his lips, and addressing his chum, "it's the Wraxby match on Saturday; I suppose they haven't asked you to play in the team?" The shaft went home, and Thurston's face darkened with anger. "No," he answered indignantly, "and I wouldn't play, not if they all went down on their knees and begged me to.
"Your father will be in a position to see to that, as San Martin has already made him a member of the government." "That's all right then. By-the-bye, have you seen Montilla?" "Yes. The old fox plays the game well. He is delighted so he says to be able to hand over the estates, which he was keeping in trust for you, to the rightful owner." "Do you think my father believes him?" "I can't say.
But he, too, met me hospitably, and I and these three poor ruined men sat down to dinner a good dinner enough, by-the-bye, and such as ruined men need not be ashamed to eat, since they must needs eat something.
'The new theory of the last oculist whose book I dipped into a very amusing and interesting book, by-the-bye is that the sight improves and strengthens by constant use, and that an agricultural labourer, who hardly uses his eyes at all, has rarely in the decline of life so good a sight as the watchmaker or the student.
He told me to deny him to anybody but one, and you ain't she. He spends a deal of money with me, sir; so, in course, I don't want to offend him. By-the-bye, sir, excuse me a moment."
