Cracked on such a rattling impost that cotton-seed olive-oil couldn't stand the raise; had to hang up and quit. 'Oh, it DID, did it? You wait here a minute. Goes to his state-room, brings back a couple of long bottles, and takes out the corks says: 'There now, smell them, taste them, examine the bottles, inspect the labels. One of 'm's from Europe, the other's never been out of this country.
Jolly good play, isn't it? Who are you for, A or Z?" "What do you mean?" "Mean? Do you back the A's or the Z's? that's what I mean. Oh, I suppose you don't twig, though. A to M, you know, against N to Z." "Oh," said Stephen, "I back the A to M's, of course; my brother is in that half." "So he is isn't that him going in now? Yes; you see if Ricketts doesn't get him out in the first over!"
I remember a line in Thomson's "Castle of Indolence" which owes much of its fascination to three m's, where he speaks of the Hebrid Isles Far placed amid the melancholy main. I remember a passage in Prichard's "Races of Man" which had for me all the moving quality of a poem. It was something about the Arctic regions, and I could never read it without the same thrill. Dr.
You are fond of making capital M's; and sometimes you follow it with a capital A. Then you practise a little upon a D, and perhaps back it up with a G. Of course it is the merest accident that these letters come together. It seems funny to you very. And as a proof that they are made at random, you make a T or an R before them, and some other quite irrelevant letters after it.
Those words with two m's or two l's in them get me right down on the mat. But the thing that looks biggest to me is how to find out where the news is, and the name of the fellow that'll put me on to it. You can't go up a man's front steps and ring the bell and ask him if he's going to be married or buried or have a pink tea." "Wasn't that a knock at the door?" said Steinberger.
Wallala, weiala, weia!" One need only look at this, without understanding the language, to feel the rhythmic motion of the water, and imagine the song of the merry maidens. Again, in the famous love duo in the "Walküre," note the repetition of the liquid consonants, the l's and m's, which give the sound such a soft and sentimental background.

She hardly knew what to do as she stood under the big letter "M" waiting to have her luggage examined. Her fellow "M's" as well as all the other letters appeared to be having desperate trouble with the custom-house men, who clawed out the contents of their trunks and then calmly left the cowed owners to stuff everything back as best they could.
Having opened it, she discovered that she could not read the handwriting, which was angular and involved beyond the power of words to indicate. "Here," she said. "Your eyes are better than mine." Alden took it readily. "My eyes may be good," he observed, after a long pause, "but my detective powers are not. The m's and n's are all alike, and so are most of the other letters.
"I can read any kind of plain writing like they do in school," said Richard, "but not this sharp-cornered kind where the m's and u's are alike, and all the tails are pointed." Slowly they puzzled out parts of it, halting long over some of the undecipherable words, but a few words here and there were all they could recognize. There were long stretches that had no meaning whatever for them.
