They are most anxious that I should join them up the Nile, but ," and then Miss Dawkins shrugged her shoulders gracefully, and, as she flattered herself, like a Frenchwoman.

Danforth opened the door, and glancing at Dawkins, said, "Dawkins, I wish you to become acquainted with your fellow clerk, Paul Prescott." Dawkins looked surprised, and anything but gratified as he responded stiffly, "I have the honor of being already acquainted with Mr. Prescott." "He is a little jealous of an interloper," thought Mr. Danforth, noticing the repellent manner of young Dawkins.

Had a stiff sou'-wester laid her over, I should have felt it more natural, for her sand was run out; but just as this passed through my mind, I heard a voice from one of the persons, that I at once knew to be the port admiral's: "'Well, Dawkins, said he to the other, 'if you think she'll hold together, I'm sure I've no objection.

"I should have been ashamed of myself," said Miss Dawkins, bristling up, and throwing back her head as she stood, "if I had allowed any consideration to have prevented my visiting such a spot.

James Dawkins, of the Over Norton family, the explorer of Palmyra. Pickle mentions him as 'D-k-ns. Frederick did not expect a rupture with England, but condescended to see the Earl's friend, Mr. Dawkins.

He was passing close to the fire-hole with a great bundle of moss on his back, when his foot slipped, and down he went. This hole is kept constantly open.

"My dear Mr. Blewitt," says my master, smilin and offring his hand, "how glad I am to see you. Mr. Dawkins and I were just talking about your pony! Pray sit down." Blewitt did; and now was the question, who should sit the other out; but law bless you! Mr.

The latter answered in a careless indifferent tone, not exhibiting any very decided pleasure at meeting his old schoolmate. "Oh, it's you, Prescott, is it?"
