But indeed our rising school of English music boasts so many professors that we rarely hear of one till he is made a baronet. "Are you sure you have it right?" "Made him spell it to me," replied the landlord. "J-I-M-S-O-N Jimson; and his op'ra's called some kind of tea." "Some kind of tea!" cried the girl. "What a very singular name for an opera! What can it be about?"
It was the easiest thing in the world to get into society if you only knew how. Jocular Jimson Jones was a fine, approachable, neighborly person, and at the Country Club dances was quite as attentive to the hitherto unknown Mrs. Scraggs as he was to Mrs. John Jacob Wintergreen, the acknowledged leader of the 400. Mrs. Wintergreen, too, was not unapproachable.
Lightfoot went on in an unchanged voice, though with a softened face, "and, I declare, she kept house as well as I could have done it myself, and Cupid says she washed the pink teaset every morning with her own hands, and she actually cured Rhody's lameness with a liniment she made out of Jimson weed. I tell you now, Mr.
That girl would scrape acquaintance with anybody; she had no reserve, none of the enamel of the lady. He could conceive her asking Jimson to have tea with her! And it was for a girl like this that a man like Gideon Down, manly heart! He was interrupted by a sound that sent him whipping behind the door in a trice.

In case of any subsequent inquiry into the fate of Jimson, It was desirable he should be little seen: in other words, that he should spend the day entirely in the house. To this end, and further to corroborate his fable, he had brought in the leather case not only writing materials, but a ream of large-size music paper, such as he considered suitable for an ambitious character like Jimson's.
I never forgot you since. Say you never forgot me. Say you never forgot me, and call me Gideon! 'Isn't this rather a want of reserve about Jimson? enquired the girl. 'O, I know I am an ass, cried the barrister, 'and I don't care a halfpenny! I know I'm an ass, and you may laugh at me to your heart's delight. And as Julia's lips opened with a smile, he once more dropped into music.
If our man killer, hitherto mentioned, had had blue or gray eyes and had not chosen to stand trial, then, with a cake of soap and a new suit and a jimson leaf he might have made himself over so that his own mother would not have known him.
"Nice man, that Reverend Jimson, I guess," the captain said, as they wended their way homeward; "but he's got as many ways of holdin' a feller as an octopus. And lemme tell you, that's a plenty! Arms seem to grow on devilfish 'while you wait' as the feller said.
