"That was very kind of 'im," snarled Levy, pouring a murderous fire upon my person from his little black eyes. "Kind!" cried Raffles. "It saved the whole show." "It did, did it?" "I had time to dodge the limbs of the law by getting out another way, and never letting them know that I had got out at all." "Then you left them there?" "In their glory!" said Raffles, radiant in his own.
Scarce had these words died upon his lips ere two quick knocks in succession resounded at the street door. In another moment Harley entered, and, at the same time, the servant in attendance approached Audley, and announced Baron Levy. "Beg the baron to wait, unless he would prefer to name his own hour to call again," answered Egerton, with the slightest possible change of colour.
The khan obtained the right to levy a tax on all Mohammedan merchandise sold in the bazaars of Kashgar and Yarkand, and deputed consuls or aksakals for the purpose of collecting the duties.
But every one of the townsfolk knew me, and by this time also knew what had befallen me, so that as I stood there it seemed not quite so easy to win a way to the levy as before.

And then Verman spake and Penrod was forgotten. Marjorie's eye rested upon him no more. A heavily equipped chauffeur ascended the stairway, bearing the message that Mrs. Levy awaited her son and his lady. Levy and Miss Jones departed to a real matinee at a real theatre, the limpid eyes of Marjorie looking back softly over her shoulder but only at the tattooed wild boy.

In short, this popular assembly imposed such burdens on their constituents, as under the proprietary government would have been deemed intolerable grievances.
