Daubrecq clenched his fists and worked out his plan of defence to meet the attack when it came. Half a minute passed. Lupin put his hand to his hip-pocket.

We take this opportunity of once more informing Jim that he is a liar and a skunk," and whose editor works with a pistol on his desk and another in his hip-pocket. Graduating from this, he had proceeded to a reporter's post on a daily paper in Kentucky, where there were blood feuds and other Southern devices for preventing life from becoming dull.

"Two strong men together," said he, "need fear nothing." I confess my only fear was lest the confounded revolver which swung insecurely in my hip-pocket might go off of its own accord. I did not mention this to my companion. He raised his hat, wiped his brow, and rang the bell. The door opened about six inches, and a man's dark-moustachioed face appeared. "Vous desirez, Messieurs?"
You can carry it in your hip-pocket, and you can cut down a tree with it. One medicine case containing quinine, calomel, and Sun Cholera Mixture in tablets.
