He achieved the stroke with that finish and dexterity that marked all he did. "Oh, I say!" said Noel disgustedly. "You haven't a look-in, Max. He plays like a machine." "You like not to be beaten by a Frenchman, no?" laughed Bertrand.
And how's Pa, Miss? He has not given me a look-in for many a day, not since he was a-hunting: bless me, if it ayn't a fortnight. This day fortnight he tasted our ale, sure enough. Will you take a glass, sir? 'You are very good. No, I thank you; not today. 'Yes, give him a glass, nurse. He is unwell, and it will do him good.
He sets dar most ob de day a havin' de time o' his life playin' sojer with de buttons, and settin' out his Noah's Ark animals. I allers knowed dat boy was different from de rest o' de kids. Parson Brown, he say he sure enough hab de makin' o' a good preacher in him, fo' he talks by de hour to his toys." So Hugh and Thad had a look-in.

At the end of them he bawled after me: "But I'll get there! You watch me all the same, all the same, you damn " The reason I didn't up-anchor and get out that night was that, when I came aboard I discovered not far from my berth the unobtrusive loom of that Dutch gunboat, arrived for a "look-in" at last.
