The last clipping recounted how an irate husband pounded a "masher" so hard that he died.

At Amiens, where he installed Clarisse, he was only eighteen miles from Montmaur. At eight o'clock he met the Masher not far from the old fortress, which was known in the neighbourhood by the name of Mortepierre, and he examined the locality under his guidance.

Certainly; and implore your assistance. But where was I to find you?... It was then that the two whom you call the Growler and the Masher, driven into a corner by circumstances, decided to tell me of the part played by Vaucheray, his ambitions, his plan, which had long been ripening..." "To get rid of me, I suppose?" said Lupin, with a grin. "Yes.

"Please don't concern yourself about it," she said. "I didn't suspect you of being a professional masher; I was only rather startled, that's all." "Thank you for telling me so," he said. "You take a load off my mind, I assure you. Pardon me again, please but did I understand you to say a moment ago that your name was Propbridge?" "Yes." "It isn't a very common name. Surely you are not the Mrs.

'Arry and his friends at the fancy fair are in society for the time; the point of introducing them is to show how the contrast intensifies them.

You can prepare your juice even if it is cloudy, but wait for sunshine before adding the sugar and final boiling.

Mr. Wiggins, his lawyer firm of Wiggins & Whizzer, Furnival's Inn, told me all about his affairs. Oh yes he was a regular "masher" tip-top! Not worth much, I should say. He must have spent over a thousand a year in keeping up that little place at St. John's Wood for Violet Vere.

In view of all this feeling, Chester would gladly have found some man to counsel further delay; but there was none. He felt that he must inform the colonel at once of the fact that Mr.

They sat on trucks and wool-bales and the fence, watching the train, and hailed Bill, and Jim, and Tom, and asked how those individuals were getting on.
