"What the dev " gasped Quentin, barely able to distinguish the form of a man at the door. Some strange influence told him that the point of a revolver was almost touching his breast and the word died in his mouth. "No outcry, Monsieur. Your valuables without a struggle. Be quick! There are many of us. You have no chance," came the hard voice, in good English. "But I have no valuables "
Dev, like Dunny, is a misnomer; my name is Devereux Devereux Bayne. "Don't you risk your bones enough with the confounded games you play? What's the use of hunting shells and shrapnel like a hero in a movie reel? We're not in this war yet, though we soon will be, praise the Lord! And till we are, I believe in neutrality upon my soul I do." "Here's news, then!" I exclaimed.
Funny thing about you ladies! the madder you are with one poor dev fellow, the sweeter and deadlier you are to the rest of us." His partner laughed; she was a bright little brunette, flushed with the dance, and thoroughly happy. "Why should we wear our hearts upon our sleeves for cynics such as you to peck at?" she replied. "The art of dissembling is one of our few privileges.
"Goin' to de dev'," said the sweetly-smiling young man. The schooner-captain, leaning against the shrouds, and even Baptiste, laughed outright. "O Jools, you mustn't!" "Well, den, w'at I shall do wid IT?" "Any thing!" answered the parson; "better donate it away to some poor man " "Ah! Misty Posson Jone', dat is w'at I want. You los' five hondred dollar' 'twas me fault." "No, it wa'n't, Jools."
The Teutonic words devil, teufel, diuval, djofull, djevful, may all be traced back to the Zend dev, a name in which is implicitly contained the record of the oldest monotheistic revolution known to history.
"Unquestionably; and my great hope and consolation is, that you yourself are conscious of it. All you have to do now, is to pray unceasingly wrestle in prayer, and you will ultimately triumph. Sing spiritual songs, too; read my tracts with attention; and, in short, if you resist the dev hem Satan, they will flee from you. Give that letter to Mr.
"In the first place, I argued that as the crime was committed in New York City in broad daylight, in a public place and under peculiarly atrocious circumstances, and that as the most skilful sleuth available was let loose upon the case, the perpetrator would never be discovered. Do you not think my postulation justified by precedent?" "Perhaps so," I replied, doggedly. "But if Big Bill Dev "
"All right, Dev. Strong and fit as an ox, and a crack polo-player and a fair shot and boxer and not bad with boats and cars and horses and pretty well off, too. So when you look bored, it's picturesque; but wait! Wait ten years, till you take on flesh, and the doctor puts you on diet, and you stop hunting chances to kill yourself, but play golf like me.
Every thing was worn out every block of stone was smooth and almost shapeless with the polishing hands and shoulders of loungers who devoutly idled here in by-gone centuries and have died and gone to the dev no, simply died, I mean. Under the altar repose the ashes of St. Mark and Matthew, Luke and John, too, for all I know. Venice reveres those relics above all things earthly.
The Dev is a malignant spirit, one of the class called jinn by the Arabs, vide Lane's "Arabian Nights," vol. i. p. 30. The jinn or genii, however, occasionally behave very handsomely towards the human race, more especially towards those of the Muhammadan faith. The Ghul is a foul and intensely wicked spirit, of an order inferior to the jinn.
