My "paper face" was examined as suspiciously as though I had had the appearance of a travestied Achilles; and M's, which has as little expression as a Chinese painting, was elaborately scrutinized by a Dogberry in spectacles, who, perhaps, fancied she had the features of a female Machiavel.
We were put into the old squads to fill the places of those who had recently died, being assigned to these vacancies according to the initials of our surnames, the same rolls being used that we had signed as paroles. This separated Andrews and me, for the "A's" were taken to fill up the first hundreds of the First Thousand, while the "M's," to which I belonged, went into the next Thousand.
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.
Then, again, he had written anxiously upon the necessity of maintaining unspotted the moral purity of the Court. Lord M's pupil considered that dear Albert was strait-laced, and, in a brisk Anglo-German missive, set forth her own views.
