The terrier yapped. Oliver grinned and turned to Marmaduke. "Come along, Fido, dear little doggie." "You're a nasty, rude, horrid boy, and I shall tell your mother," declared Miss Gunter indignantly.
It is a far cry from Gunter to Henry James, though each wrought according to his lights, and served his purpose in his time. It was when the Avenue was in its infancy that Dr. Sloper, of James's "Washington Square," went to live in the brick house with white stone trimmings, that, practically unchanged, may be seen today, diagonally across the street from the Arch.
And soon as it come to me, why, I jest named the obstreperous one Hope and the quiet one Faith don't you see?" "I do. It was bright of you, too. It really means that the names came by nature, so fit like a glove, of course. But I must be off at once. Thank you for a pleasant morning, Mrs. Gunter! I will bring my husband around to-morrow for his approval, if he can spare the time.
Having satisfied himself on this point he was about to retire to take a final look at the weather when Gunter said "Hold on, mate; 'ave another glass." He felt in his pocket for the wherewith to pay for the drink, and missed his money. He was by no means as drunk as he appeared to be, and at once suspected his comrade. "You've stole my blunt!" he shouted, without a moment's hesitation.
'I should be very sorry, Sawyer, said Mr. Noddy, 'to create any unpleasantness at any friend's table, and much less at yours, Sawyer very; but I must take this opportunity of informing Mr. Gunter that he is no gentleman.

"Lucky we are so close to her," said Joe, as he jumped into the boat followed by Luke and Gunter. "Lucky indeed," responded Luke. Somehow David Bright managed to roll or jump or scramble into his boat as smartly with one hand as with two.
Considerable progress at this period was made in the science of navigation. In the year 1624 Mr Gunter, professor of astronomy at Gresham College, Cambridge, published his scale of logarithms, sines, etcetera, and invented the scale which has since gone by his name. No darker stain rests on the memory of James than that of his judicial murder of Sir Walter Raleigh.
The lady has but to light up her house, hire the fiddlers, line her staircase with American plants, perhaps enclose her balcony, order Mr. Gunter to provide plenty of the best refreshments, and at one o'clock a superb supper, and, with the company of your friends, you have as good a ball as can be desired by the young, or endured by the old. Innocent friends in the country!
Of all the varied methods, John Gunter, the fisherman, preferred the grub-and-grovelling method, and the favourite scene of his grovelling was a low grog-shop in one of the lower parts of Yarmouth. It must be said, at this point, that Gunter was not considered by his mates as a regular out-and-out fisherman.
Gunter seized a rope's-end and made a demonstration of an intention to apply it, but Billy was too active; he leaped aside with a laugh, and then, getting behind the mast, invited the man to come on "an' do his wust." Gunter laid down the rope's-end with a grim smile and turned to Luke Trevor.
