He doesn't wander clear out among the plantations, of course, where everybody has slaves, and there's no work but slaves' work. And he says it's useless to think of a clerkship this time of year. It must be, isn't it?" The Doctor made no answer. There was a footstep in the alley. "He's coming now," said Mary, "that's he. He must have got work to-day.
When she is not violent, her rambling chat is better to me than the sense and sanity of the world." Surely there is great depth of pathos in these unaffected words; in the love that has outlasted all the troubles of life, and is thus tenderly expressed, almost at his last hour. John Lamb, the elder brother of Charles, held a clerkship, with some considerable salary, in the South Sea House.
I'll make it my business to call on the governor and see if he can't find a berth for you." "But remember that it must be a military appointment," said Tom. "No clerkship or anything of that sort for me." While the Rangers were working hard to get themselves in shape for the field, Captain Hubbard and his lieutenants had received their commissions and been duly sworn into the State militia.

"Did you see that young fellow standing near the edge of the platform? I caught him on the side and sent him spinning like a top." "Why, that was Chance didn't you know him? I was in too much of a hurry even to give the poor devil a nod." "Good gracious, was that Chance that madman that threw up his clerkship at the F.O.!" "No, he didn't," his friend replied.
He ordered your son, for a first employment in his new clerkship, to get a copy of a judgment which ought to have been served last evening, and Oscar, instead of doing so, allowed himself to be fooled. The master was furious.
Mavick interrupted, with good-humor, "it's about the novel. I hear that it has sold very well. And you are not certain whether its success will warrant your giving up your clerkship. Now as for me," and she leaned back in her chair, with the air of weighing the chances in her mind, "it doesn't seem to me that a writer "
"Long ago I called to see you on the errand I have now, but you were not in town. It was, Mr. Mavick," and Philip hesitated and looked down, "in regard to your daughter." "Ah, I did not hear of it." "No? Well, Mr. Mavick, I was pretty presumptuous, for I had no foothold in the city, except a law clerkship." "I remember Hunt, Sharp & Tweedle; why didn't you keep it?" "I wasn't fitted for the law."
Here were two big things destined to revolutionize trade: the use of cotton in place of flax or wool, and steam-power instead of human muscle. Robert Owen resigned his clerkship and invested all of his earnings in three mule spinning-machines. Then he bought cotton on credit. He learned the business, and the first year made three hundred pounds.
There are, at least, then colored special magistrates, natives of the island. There are four colored members of the Assembly, including Messrs. Jordon and Osborne. Mr. Jordon now sits in the same Assembly, side by side, with the man who, a few years ago, ejected him disdainfully from his clerkship.
