The seed-pod is sold one quarter dollar the Fezzan kael, or measure, half a peck or so. The gurd is also employed medicinally. I was glad to see several young palms recently planted. I love progress; everything in the shape and style of progress delights me. Would to God the entire Desert was covered with palms. But man would be just as corrupt and unthankful!
"They do most of them," answered Mr. Gurd. "A back number is a back number and behaves as such.
Northover's compliments and might we have the big fish kettle till to-morrow? A party have been sprung on us, and five-and-twenty sit down to lunch in the pleasure gardens at two o'clock." "And welcome, Job. Go round to the kitchen, will 'e?" Job disappeared and Mr. Gurd explained. "My good neighbour at 'The Seven Stars' her with the fine pleasure gardens and swings and so on.
"Well, how are you? how are you? and have you seen Vesty this morning?" "Fluke and Gurd 's keepin' company with her this mornin'," said Dr. Spearmint, in a voice softer than a woman's. "I jest stopped to sing a little with 'em on the way. I look dreadful," he added, rather ostentatiously fingering a light blue necktie.
"If anything could make me still wish to take you, it's to hear such wisdom," declared Mr. Gurd, after a noisy expiration of thanksgiving. "I might have known you wasn't behind me in brain power, and I might have felt you'd be bound to see this quite as quick as me, if not quicker.

In brief words she told him of Job Legg's greatly increased prosperity and his proposal to wed. Having made her statement, she advanced a few words for Job. "In fairness and beyond all this, I must tell you, Richard, that he's a very uncommon sort of man.
He had nought but praise for you, as all men have; but there it is Richard Gurd is very wishful to marry me; and you must understand this clearly, Job. If it had been any lesser man than him, or any other man in the world, for that matter, I wouldn't have taken him.
But for me to see Gurd on this subject is impossible. It's far too delicate. Another man might, but not me, because he knows that I stand in the unfortunate position of the cast out. So if there's one man that can't go to Gurd and demand reparation on your account, I'm that man. In a calmer moment, you'll be the first to see it." "I suppose that is so.
Estelle may bar me. I'm at Bridport to-night and return to London to-morrow. But I shall be back again in a week." "Shall you play any cricket this summer?" "I should like to if I have time; but it's very improbable. I'm not going to chuck sport though. Next year I may have more leisure." "You're at 'The Seven Stars, I hear haven't forgiven Dick Gurd he tells me." "Did we quarrel? I forget.
