You see there's been so much talk of of of masquerading and your voice is Southern, if your politics ain't! 'T isn't my usual way." Lieutenant McNeill smiled. "I am sure of that, sergeant! As you say, there has been a deal of masquerading, and this side of the river naturally looks askance at the other.
Organized expressions of discontent are ever objectionable to the ruling class, not so much for what is said, as for the movements and reconstructions they may lead to a fact which the police authorities, inspired from above, have always well understood. "The winter of 1873-74," says McNeill, was one of extreme suffering.
Professor Walter Raleigh, in his "In Memoriam: James McNeill Whistler," insists, truly enough, on the strong streak of an eccentric honesty in matters strictly pictorial, which ran through his complex and slightly confused character. "He would destroy any of his works rather than leave a careless or inexpressive touch within the limits of the frame.
So I ses to meself, 'Standish McNeill, ses I, 'what kind of a fool of a man are you?
"It seems, my dear kinsman, that my knowledge of the Duke of Ragusa goes a bit deeper than yours.

The Spaniard eyed me suspiciously. "Of course," said I, reading his thoughts, "if your master doubts me " "I think, Señor McNeill, I have given you no cause to suspect it," the Captain gravely interrupted. "There is, however, one question I should like to ask, if I may do so without offence. Is it your intention that I should cross in the darkness or wait for daylight?"
Constable Moorehead got another stripe for "conspicuous bravery" and became Corporal, received a small grant from the fine fund, and at a full-dress parade of the Division was presented by Judge McNeill with the bronze medal of the Royal Canadian Humane Association.
