D'you live about here can you bring your father, so if I like your style we can have things fixed proper?" The boy's face appealed to Dixon as being an honest one. Evidently the lad was not a street gamin, a tough. If he had hands the head promised well and could sit a horse, he might be a find. A good boy was rarer than a good horse, and of more actual value.
"I," said Binet, "once saw a piece called the 'Gamin de Paris, in which there was the character of an old general that is really hit off to a T. He sets down a young swell who had seduced a working girl, who at the ending "
Heavens! how the people shout! Staid old burghers, portly business-men, trot panting alongside waving their hats and cheering themselves hoarse. "Them fellers hasn't no boquets in their guns," is the way a street gamin expresses it. "Whither are they going?" "What have they first to do?" is the cry.
He almost dreaded to find another father owning a noble boy like this and such a father as he would be if it were true that he was only a street gamin.

I borrowed Jimmie from the firm and the little gamin kept tab on Bothwell.
He was ashamed and dismayed at the place where Bernard was leading him, so low and disreputable that the boys of his time had never haunted it, and his own gamin propensities had never extended so far. It was a tumble-down quarter; the houses, deplorable hovels, run up hastily for the workmen at the potteries, and every third or fourth a beershop; and in the midst dwelt Mr.

At Frankfort for centuries the most venerable Rabbi had to take off his hat if the smallest gamin cried: 'Jud', mach mores! I have myself been shut up in that Ghetto, I have witnessed a Jew-riot more than once in Hamburg. Ah, Judaism is not a religion, but a misfortune. And to be born a Jew and a genius! What a double curse!
