And if this were so, one could understand at once Mr. Goad's attempt upon Uncle Sam. "Now none of this! none of this, I say, Erema!" Major Hockin exclaimed, as he ran in and saw me scarcely even caring to hold my own with the gentle Maximilian to which name Mr. Strouss was promoted from the too vernacular "Hans." "My dear, I never saw you look ill before.
"No, not yet. I resolved to try you first. If you refuse, it will be taken up at once; and away goes your last chance, Sir." Mr. Goad's large face became like a field of conflicting passions and low calculations. Terror, fury, cupidity, and doggedness never had a larger battle-field.
Instead of "the hungry millions," or "the toilers," or any of the numerous synonyms for our masters, he invented the phrase, "Goad's people." "I shall never rest," so ran his great declaration, "till Goad's green fields and Goad's clear waters are free to Goad's people."
"For Goad's sake, kiss him, and say 'Good-Nicht, and hae done with it!" As already stated, Private Wamphray was returned to his platoon next morning. But to regard the Buzzer simply and solely as a troglodyte, of sedentary habits and caustic temperament, is not merely hopelessly wrong: it is grossly unjust. Sometimes he goes for a walk under some such circumstances as the following.
As it is, I go to our private police, who would not exist if the force were worth a rap. Vypan, Goad, and Terryer, in spite of Goad's clumsiness, rank second. I go to the first of all these firms, and I get their very cleverest rascal."

"Lie still, my lord, lie still! There's no skaith will come to ye 'gin ye but lie still. De'il's i' the body; wull the auld lurdane no hand sae!"
In another two seconds George's red nightcap appeared followed by a face that was literally livid with terror. "Let me up for Goad's sake," he gasped, "or he'll hev me by the leg!" "He! who?" asked the Colonel, not without a thrill of superstitious fear, as he dragged the panting man through the hole. But George would give no answer until he was out of the grave.
Coming out of a garden in Gough Street, within sight of Goad's house, was a lady, young and very plain, but rigged out in one of those latest fashion costumes a very tight, short skirt, and huge hat with high plume in it.
Require a change, or would not go. May hit upon a nugget, etc., etc." Mr. Goad's memoranda of his adventures, and signal defeat by Uncle Sam, have no claim to be copied here, though differing much from my account. With their terse unfeeling strain, they might make people laugh who had not sadder things to think of.
Wonderful are Goad's ways and surprising His jaidgements! Every step must be weighed, since it is the Laard's business. Five days we must give this city to grow uneasy, and then ...
