"I succeeded in obtaining the discharge of an insolent debtor who was incarcerated on flimsy accusations of fraud, and now they all run after me. And every such case requires great labor. We, too, you know, leave some of our flesh in the ink-pot, as some author said." "Well, now, your case, or rather the case in which you are interested," he continued; "was badly conducted.
And don't tell me a young man can read women. Boys and women go on their instincts. Egyptologists can spell you hieroglyphs; they'd be stumped, as Leo would say, to read a spider out of an ink-pot over a sheet of paper."
It seems to me to be acting a lie. It was not a conundrum at all." "It would have been if you could have thought of an answer." "Say no more," I replied, coldly. "I prefer to drop the subject." The ink-pot contained a shallow sediment, with short hairs, grit, and a little moisture in it. It came out on the pen in chunks.
Sergius, what have you been doing that this little flea of an editor should jump out of his ink-pot and bite you? Does he hurt much?" "Hurt!" Thord laughed aloud. "If I had money enough to pay the man ten golden coins a week where his present employer gives him five, he would dance to any tune I whistled!" "Is that so?" asked Leroy, with interest.

Jane Macalister was always spoken to in this correct fashion during school hours. "I say, there's a visitor!" burst from the eager lips of the little boy. He started to his feet as he spoke, upsetting the ink-pot over his own copybook and also over Kitty's white-frilled pinafore. "Boris, you are incorrigible!" exclaimed Jane.

Gazing into a ball of crystal or glass, a crystal or other smooth ring stone, such as a sapphire or ruby, or even into a common ink-pot, they will see visions very brilliant.
Jean-Christophe got up, livid with shame, seized his ink-pot, and hurled it with all his strength at the nearest boy whom he saw laughing. The schoolmaster fell on him and beat him. He was thrashed, made to kneel, and set to do an enormous imposition. He went home, pale and storming, though he said never a word. He declared frigidly that he would not go to school again.
