Again, when, in 1719, my predecessor, old Vicar Hichens, removed it to the church and set it in the south aisle or, at any rate, when he died and ceased to protect it the young men of the parish took to using it for a hatstand, and also to carving their own and their sweethearts' names upon it during sermon-time.
"An original strain, bright and vivacious, and strong enough in its foolishness and its unexpected tragedy to prove its sterling worth." Boston Herald. AN IMAGINATIVE MAN. By Robert S. Hichens, author of "The Folly of Eustace," "The Green Carnation," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A study in character.... Just as entertaining as though it were the conventional story of love and marriage.
He spoke again: "Why are you alone in this jungle with such a fever?" The words dropped into her consciousness; even, smooth, like pebbles gently released into water. Then the blackness of outer darkness came up between. . . . That was how the present Mrs. Hichens began to know Skag. He carried her back along the path, fresh-marked by her own footsteps, to the tent.
Hichens who took the puppy with her, when she went to India with Police Commissioner Hichens; and before she died he was made to promise her on his honour, that he would care for and protect Nels as if Nels were his own son, so long as Nels should live. There was no help for it.
Heaven knows who built them in the beginning, but whoever it was, they must have done it too late, because there is a neglected grave or two near each one. The native agents got in every good argument for the bungalows, but Police Commissioner Hichens was not persuaded. He seemed to have a constitutional antipathy to those bungalows.
It was necessary that each of the ayahs should be wife to one of the men servants, but it is always possible to make a temporary arrangement of that sort to accommodate the customs of a high official. So the present Mrs. Hichens was to be established in the tent, very comfortably matted as to the floor and furnished with all necessary appointments of a satisfying quality and wealthy appearance.
Skag learned in the next two hours that there is nothing in life more difficult for a man to find, than servants' quarters in a native village. By full daylight he gave up and tramped back a considerable distance. As he approached the tent, an Englishman came out walking rapidly toward him. Police Commissioner Hichens had a very red face.
"There's a long explanation in the New Testament," said Ruth. "It's by St. Paul; and I dare say that Mr. Hichens too, if he sees anything difficult in it, will say that Ishmael stands for the bond and Isaac for the free, and Abraham had to do it, or the teaching wouldn't come right."

And if you catch the wrong train, what then? All you have to comfort you is the fact that you have travelled.’ ROBERT HICHENS. A great many unhappy unions might be prevented if people could find their right age for marrying.
Hichens had taken down Oscar's talks evening after evening and simply reproduced them. I asked Oscar if this was true. "True enough, Frank," he replied with a certain contempt which was foreign to him. "Hichens got to know Bosie Douglas in Egypt. They went up the Nile together, I believe with 'Dodo' Denson. Naturally Bosie talked a great deal about me and Hichens wanted to know me.
