Crewe was the calmest man under the roof as he saluted the Speaker, walked up to the clerk's desk, turned his back to it, and leaned both elbows on it; and he regarded the sea of faces with the identical self-possession he had exhibited when he had made his famous address on national affairs.
When the "call" to him was signed at once by every member of the congregation, the clerk who had been obliged to summon Donald Menzies from Gaelic by the intimation that Drumtochty was by the law of the Church "uni-lingual, and that all proceedings must be conducted in the English language" arose and declared that "such unanimous attention to their ecclesiastical duties was unexampled in his experience;" and when at Carmichael's ordination a certain certificate was wanting, the clerk, whose intervention was regarded with awe, proposed that the court should anticipate its arrival, dealing with the matter "proleptically," and the court saw in the very word another proof of the clerk's masterly official genius.
J. Madison presents his respects to the vice-president, who will find in the enclosed the information afforded by the office of state on the subject of former amendments to the Constitution. Mr. Beckley recollects, that in one of the instances, copies equal to the number of the states were made out in the clerk's office of the House of Representatives.
And the next minute the corner of the clerk's eye shot again into the corner of the pa'son's, and the pa'son's back again to the clerk's. "Hee, hee!" said the clerk. "Ha, ha!" said Pa'son Toogood. "Ah, sir," says the clerk again, "this is better than crying Amen to your Ever-and-ever on a winter's morning!" "Yes, indeed, clerk!

"There is no such concession in the deed I hold," said Bolton. "If you will take the trouble to make an examination in the clerk's office in the county court, you'll find it to be as I state."
Meantime the clerk's eyes were busy, and no doubt his admiration was returning again or may be he was only gauging her probable literary tastes by some sagacious system of admeasurement only known to his guild. Now he began to "assist" her in making a selection; but his efforts met with no success indeed they only annoyed her and unpleasantly interrupted her meditations.
The clerk's little son clung to his mother's skirt, frightened at the weakness of so big a man. "Go and say good-bye to the gentleman." The little boy came forward timidly, offering his hand. William looked at the poor little white face; he nodded to the father and went out. As he went downstairs he said he would like to go home in a hansom.
Cannon read it over, and then Arthur Dayson borrowed the old clerk's vile pen and with the ceremonious delays due to his sense of his own importance, flourishingly added the signature. When she came forth she heard a knock at the outer door. "Come in," she commanded defiantly, for she was still unconsciously in the defiant mood in which she had offered the lying letter to Mr. Cannon.
The rocky hill became valuable and went for twenty thousand dollars, of which three thousand had to be deducted for the mortgage. Then Joe graduated from high school, and, lusting for life, took a clerk's job with one of the big express companies.
But in a moment he had recovered himself, and abruptly snatching the pencil from Jack's hand, proceeded to his desk. Jack was jubilant. Nothing could have been more convincing of the clerk's guilt. Following this feeling, however, came one of pity for the unfortunate man; and after a silent debate with himself, Jack followed him.
