'Merely to keep one's hand in, thought Merton, 'in the present disappointing slackness of business, I'll try to see Jephson. I don't like or trust him. I don't think he is the man for Miss Willoughby. So, if he ousts the doctor, and catches the heiress, why "there was more lost at Shirramuir," as Logan says. Merton managed to go up to Oxford, and called on Jephson.
There were three passengers, one of whom was the well-known Brooklyn specialist on consumption, Dr. Habakuk Jephson, who was a distinguished advocate for Abolition in the early days of the movement, and whose pamphlet, entitled "Where is thy Brother?" exercised a strong influence on public opinion before the war. The other passengers were Mr. J. Harton, a writer in the employ of the firm, and Mr.
He was subsequently attacked and murdered by an Arab chief, who appropriated his store of ivory, and in the course of time had it conveyed to the ivory market at Zanzibar. The date of the purchase there of the museum specimen corresponds with the history given by Mr. Jephson. The crowns of three "grinders" or molars of elephants compared.
"He seemed as glad to be rid of me as I to be rid of him. 'Oh, must yer, he said, holding out his hand. 'Well, so long. "We shook hands carelessly. He disappeared in the crowd, and that is the last I have ever seen of him." "Is that a true story?" asked Jephson. "Well, I've altered the names and dates," said MacShaughnassy; "but the main facts you can rely upon."
It had been suggested by Brown as an unhackneyed idea, and one lending itself, therefore, to comparative freshness of treatment, that our hero should be a thorough-paced scamp. Jephson seconded the proposal, for the reason that it would the better enable us to accomplish artistic work.
Mr Robertson was a long, silent man with grizzled hair, and an eye that pierced like a gimlet. He had the enviable reputation of keeping the best order of any master in the School. He was also one of the most popular of the staff. This was all the more remarkable from the fact that he played no games. To him came Mr Jephson, primed to bursting point with his grievance.
Weeping the women went down the stairs. Alice's tears were still flowing, when John Jephson entered. Her own troubles forgotten in the emotion of the scene she had just witnessed, she ran to his arms and wept on his bosom. John stood as one astonished. "O Lord! this is a Christmas!" he sighed at last. "Oh John!" cried Alice, and tore herself from his embrace, "I forgot!
"First catch your common-sensed girl," muttered Jephson, a little grumpily, as it seemed to me. "Where do you propose finding her?" "Well," returned MacShaughnassy, "I looked to find her in Miss Medbury." As a rule, the mention of Miss Medbury's name brings a flush of joy to Jephson's face; but now his features wore an expression distinctly approaching a scowl. "Oh!" he replied, "did you?
Darrin," said Commander Jephson, at last, "I am obliged to say that, in some respects, your report does not agree with that of members of your crew." "I have made a truthful statement, sir, just as I recall the incidents of the affair," replied Dave, flushing to the temples. "Don't jump too speedily at false conclusions, Mr. Darrin," cautioned the commandant.
We described the consequent visit of Miss Willoughby to the office of the Disentanglers, and how she reminded Merton that he had asked her once 'if she had a spark of the devil in her. She had that morning received, in fact, a letter, crawling but explicit, from the unworthy Jephson, her lover.
