The chief attraction wass to be a "Kween Karnation" and her maids of honor, the latter consisting of the most beautiful young ladies of the various Missouri towns. I infer from the dispatches that Halliwell was made lord high executioner of the "Karnival" at least accorded ample space in which to wildly wave his asinine ears.
Halliwell, who had been looking on for a while, retired, not knowing the cage-door was locked. He went to his wife and said, that, if they had but the boy and his dog again, and were but free of that brother of his, the menagerie would be a wild-beast paradise.
He had been watching the handsome young captain, Halliwell, riding with his men; admiring him, too, for his coolness. This coolness exasperated the gypsy, who twice flung at Halliwell and missed him. He rode on smiling contemptuously. "Oh, if I could only fling straight!" the Egyptian moaned.

Gayangos noticed particularly, as he turned it over, that its margins were covered with notes in a seventeenth-century hand. He continued his journey to England, and presently mentioned the incident to Sir Thomas Phillipps, and Sir Thomas's future son-in-law, Mr. Halliwell afterward Halliwell-Phillipps. The excitement of both knew no bounds.
"Because I'm a canny man." "Into the cell with him," Halliwell cried, losing patience. "Leave him to me," said the sheriff. "I understand the sort of man. Now, Dunwoodie, what were you doing in Tilliedrum?" "I was taking my laddie down to be prenticed to a writer there," answered Dunwoodie, falling into the sheriff's net. "What are you yourself?" "I micht be a tinsmith to trade."
The catkins of the willow are in some counties known as "goslings," or "goslins," children, says Halliwell, sometimes playing with them by putting them in the fire and singeing them brown, repeating verses at the same time. "Hunting from the stack-yard sod The stinking henbane's belted pod, By youth's warm fancies sweetly led To christen them his loaves of bread."

Davidson did as he was ordered, and again the Egyptian was left alone with Halliwell. "Afraid of a woman!" she said, contemptuously, though her heart sank when she heard the key turn in the lock. "I admit it," he answered, calmly.
Some seem to think that the gypsy gave him the cloak for helping her to escape, and that he has delivered it up lest he should get into difficulties." "Whom has he given it to, mother?" Gavin asked. "To the policeman." "And has Wearyworld sent it back to Halliwell?" "Yes. He told Jean he sent it off at once, with the information that the masons had found it in the quarry."
p. 446 Guzman of Salamanca. A Guzman was a common term of abuse. Salamanca had an unsavoury reputation owing to the fictions of Titus Gates. cf. p. 446 Signum Mallis. This curious phrase, which is both distorted cant and canine, would appear to mean 'your rogue's phiz'. p. 446 Friskin. 'A gay lively person. Halliwell. p. 446 Jack of Lent.
