But if he wanted a gutter-snipe in one of his plays, he would have to find a gutter-lad and paint him from life. That was probably the truth, I concluded. So satisfied was I with my discovery that I developed it to Gattie; but he would not hear of it. "Gattie has nothing of the artist in him," I decided, "and therefore cannot understand."
She cried out sharply, for he had overcome her resistance by quiet force, had turned her white face up to his own. "I am not cold-blooded to-night, Puck," he said. "Whatever you are child or woman gutter-snipe or angel you are mine, all mine. And I want you!" The deep note vibrated in his voice; he stooped over her. But she flung herself back over his arm, striving desperately to avoid him.
Suliman and the other little gutter-snipe proceeded to make friends with the whole gang promptly, giving as good as they got in the way of repartee, and nearly starting a riot until Grim called Ali Baba into the dining-room, where de Crespigny was shaking up the second round of warm cocktails in a beer-bottle. Ali Baba chose to presume that the mixture was intended for himself.
"If you'll keep that impertinent little gutter-snipe still," Antoine snarled, "I'll answer such questions as seem to me to be worth answering." "Are you the man who was seen sitting half-asleep before a fire in a cavern three nights ago?" asked the boy. The man hesitated for a moment, as if in deep thought, and then answered with an exclamation of impatience. "Were you in the cave that night?"

"I have starved for it many years. Some day I will get recognition. Some day I "
The zebra is striped rather than spotted because its forebears wore stripes. So with you. You are half murderess and half gutter-snipe. You are woven according to the pattern. You are moulded according to the mould. You are a prisoner of heredity.
They were in a by-street, very lean and lonely itself, but so close to a crowded thoroughfare that they could see the vague masses of vehicles going by, and could even see an individual hansom cab passing the corner at the instant. Turnbull put his fingers to his mouth like a gutter-snipe and whistled twice.
And what she wanted us to understand clearly was that no designing little gutter-snipe was to be allowed to compromise David's future. She concluded with an imaginative and most unflattering estimate of Mayme McCartney's character, manners, and morals, in the midst of which I heard a gasp. It came from Mayme, standing, wide-eyed and white, in the doorway.
One wanton villain it was the French gutter-snipe, Virot paused a moment to ride up to a window of the hall and discharge his revolver through the glass. Fortunately his aim was as evil as his intent. Beyond shattering a priceless vase, the bullet did no damage.
His illustration of "Precedence at Battersea," in which one small gutter-snipe struggles with another for a cricket bat, indignantly declaring that "The Treasurer goes in before the bloomin' Seketery," is by way of becoming a classic. As an illustrator of stories of a certain type, Frank Reynolds is without an equal.
