Growling to himself, clasping his hands behind his back, John Knott shifted his position. Then, taken with that desire of clergy-baiting, which would seem to be inherent in members of the Faculty, he addressed Julius March.
Presently, as he still paced backwards and forwards, he heard steps along the corridor, and there was a knock at his door. His voice trembled as he said 'Come in', and the rush of renewed hope was hardly distinguishable from pain when he saw Warren enter with Daniel Knott behind him. 'Knott is come, sir, with news of Miss Sarti. I thought it best to bring him to you first. Mr.
The only thing to be said in its favour is that it is not infectious." John Knott could not quite keep admiration from his eyes, or provocation from his tongue. He richly enjoyed getting a rise out of Miss St. Quentin. "I am not so sure of that," he said. "In the case of beautiful women, judging by history, it has shown a tendency to be recurrently sporadic in any case."
He was greatly impressed. "Capable fellow, Knott, wonderful thing science," he commented inwardly and with praiseworthy humility. But Mr. Cathcart returned to the charge. "The hospital was disastrously the loser, in any case," he remarked. "As a matter of course, the conditions having been disregarded, Lady Calmady withdrew her promise of a second donation." "Oh! ah!
Thoms of Westchurch, John Knott had told her with a gentleness and delicacy a little surprising in so hard-bitten a man that, owing to the shattered condition of the bone, amputation of the right leg was imperative.

Mr. MacMasters was already lining up his men, and Seven Knott, with a bandage on his head, was looking for stragglers.
Ormiston and John Knott followed engaged in close conversation, the rugged, rough-hewn aspect of the latter presenting a strong contrast to the thin, tall figure and face, white and refined to the point of emaciation, of the diplomatist. Julius March, accompanied by Camp still carrying his tail limp and his great head rather sulkily brought up the rear.
Let me tell you that my noble master, the Pacha, ordered a new steam-yacht of a thousand tons a year ago; and if you treat me with this inhumanity, he will follow you all over the world till he obtains his revenge." "That is enough of this nonsense!" said the captain, springing from his chair, and calling for Knott, who was at the door.
Nye wasn't particularly witty in debate, and the speeches of Proctor Knott, McCreery, or Sam Cox were funnier than his; neither had he any Senatorial dignity whatever. He had, in its place, a vast store of humor and genial humanity better articles, that brought him in love all that he lost in respect.
Knott glanced at the speaker sharply. "Oh! that occurred to you, did it?" he said. "Bless me! why, it occurred to everybody," Ormiston answered impatiently. "Some idiot raked the story up, and it was canvassed from one end of the county to the other last autumn till it made me fairly sick." "Poor boy!" cried Mrs. Ormiston, "and what is this wonderful story that so nauseates him, Dr. Knott?"
