'I think, said the Babu heavily, lighting a cigarette, 'I am of opeenion that it is most extraordinary and effeecient performance. Except that you had told me I should have opined that that that you were pulling my legs. How soon can he become approximately effeecient chain-man? Because then I shall indent for him. 'That is what he must learn at Lucknow. 'Then order him to be jolly-dam'-quick.

So it is that in all the quiet bays which indent the shores of the great ocean of thought, at every sinking wharf, we see moored the hulks and the razees of enslaved or half-enslaved intelligences.

If, for example, a field ambulance wants a lot of iodine, absorbent cotton, etc., the officer commanding sends an ambulance with an indent signed by himself, and the officer in charge of the depot hands over the material required. There are other branches of the service, like the gas schools and inland water service, which, though strictly not medical, are closely akin to it.

'Pumps' would of course have been the simple answer, but the men knew as well as the Subaltern knew that pumps were not to be had at that particular time and place for love or money, and that all the filling of all the 'indents' in the R.E. would not produce one single efficient pump from store. The Subaltern did not trouble with indent forms or stores.

Then, arming myself with a boarding-pike to serve as a pole, I dropped into the fore-chains and thence stepped on to the ice, and very slowly and carefully walked round the schooner, examining her closely, and boring into the snow upon her side with my pike wherever I suspected a hole or indent.

The indents went to the Assistant Director of Medical Services for approval. They were then sent back to the quartermaster.

Their captains are familiar with all the intricate reefs where large vessels never go.

They never sail at night; and if they have to cross the sea, they wait for settled weather.

She placed her foot upon the ground, as she might put a hand upon her lover's shoulder. We indent it with our eleven undisguised stone. Such was Sir Harry Wildair, who stood by Mr. "The first time I was here," said Vane, "my admiration of you broke out to Mr. Cibber; and what do you think he said?" "That you praised me, for me to hear you. Did you?" "Acquit me of such meanness." "Forgive me.

He sent an account of Lord Ayscough's case to a medical magazine: and so full is the world of flunkeyism, that this article, though he withheld the name, retaining only the title, got the literary wedge in for him at once: and in due course he became a paid contributor to two medical organs, and used to study and write more, and indent the little stone yard less than heretofore.

In operating the machine the recording diaphragm was advanced nearly to the cylinder, so that as the diaphragm was vibrated by the voice the needle would prick or indent a wave-like record in the tin-foil that was on the cylinder. The cylinder was constantly turned during the recording, and in turning, was simultaneously moved forward.
