"I say 'old' with intention, though not with certainty" continued the expositor; "my reason for it might seem a little far-fetched.
One of the two canoe-men was a clerk sent to undertake, at Dunregan, the work of those who should be selected for the expedition, and he said that another clerk was to follow in the spring-brigade of boats. "That's marching orders for you, Lumley," said Macnab, who was beside us when the canoe arrived. "You cannot tell that," returned Lumley. "It may be that our chief will select Max or Spooner.
Roscoe, with an actor's unquenchable ardour for the theatre, was patronising a play. The tour of "Charley's Aunt" had reached Rangoon. The MacNab was dining with the Presbyterian minister.

FitzGerald, on the contrary, was eloquent in favour of "the best that was going, and hang the expense!"
