I looked from her to the caviare. "I don't know. I never tried. We keeps 'em, my man an' I, for all poor come-by-chance folks that knocks." "But these are dainties for rich men's tables." "May be. I've never tasted they'd stick in our ozels if we tried." I wanted to ask a dozen questions, but thought it politer to accept this strange hospitality in silence.
There are no Sunday trains. As I had so much time to spare, I decided that I could not do better than spend some of it in going across the island and thus see the Southern part of the country, catching my boat at Come-by-Chance Junction on the return journey. Truth compels me to add that I find myself a sadder and wiser woman. I left St.
"Spirit, ess fay, same as your faither afore you; but not so much sense as us can see wi'out lightin' cannel." "Wonder if Uncle Joel be so warm a man as he'd have us think sometimes of an evenin' arter his hot whiskey an' water?" said Chris. "Don't 'e count on no come-by-chance from him. He's got money, that I knaw, but ban't gwaine to pass our way, for he tawld me so in as many words.
He's a come-by-chance, and he's a go-by-chance, and a good riddance too! 'Oh but, Ma'am, my Lady wanted to speak to him. This only made Mrs. Shepherd the more set against the poor boy.

He used, too, to hold the money-plate at Let Your Light so Shine, and stand godfather to poor little come-by-chance children; and he kept a missionary box upon his table to nab folks unawares when they called; yes, and he would box the charity-boys' ears, if they laughed in church, till they could hardly stand upright, and do other deeds of piety natural to the saintly inclined."
Life is a series of comparisons and in retrospect the steamer on which I crossed seems a veritable floating palace. I offer it my humble apologies. Of one thing only I am certain I shall never, never have the courage to face the return journey. The time for the steamer to make the journey from Come-by-Chance to St.
I suppose because your father was a d d garlic-eating, ear-ringed Dago, and your mother a come-by-chance Tahiti half-caste, you think he was as good as me." "As good as you, O bloody-handed dog of an English convict. He was a man, and the only wrong he ever did was to let me become wife to a devil like you." The cruel eyes were close to hers now, and the rough, brawny hands gripped her wrists.
Poor cottagers living beside a highroad don't open too easily at this hour to a couple of come-by-chance wayfarers. To be sure, you wear the King's uniform, and that may be a recommendation. What's that track yonder, and where does it lead, think you?"
