Scrubs. An individual at the upper end of the table turned pale and left the room as I finished with the monosyllable." "'Tis sixty years since", but that drop is of the same characteristic transparency and sparkle as in the latest Tea-Cup. The time in which the New England Magazine was published, and these firstlings of Holmes's muse appeared, was one of prophetic literary stir in New England.
The air with which he looked across the room at the woman who watched him was furtive; the hand which laid his hat upon the table was shaking; there was a gleam almost of terror in his eyes. The woman remained impassive, inscrutable, simply watching him. After a moment or two, however, she spoke a single monosyllable. "Well?" The man broke down.
They shall have one, on your body, if you reject the terms I've offered. Accept them, Don Valerian Miranda; or before to-morrow's sun reaches meridian the birds will be feeding upon your flesh, and the wild beasts quarrelling over your bones. Answer me, and without prevarication. I demand plain speech, yes or no." "No!" is the monosyllable shouted, almost shrieked, by him so menaced.
"Would I remember your name if you told me?" "I don't know. I've forgotten yours. Your surname, that is. Of course I remember that your Christian name was Jill. It has always seemed to me the prettiest monosyllable in the language." He looked at her thoughtfully. "It's odd how little you've altered in looks. Freddie's just the same, too, only larger.
They gambled away their all; they gorged themselves like vultures; they danced or played ball naked among the snow-drifts from morning till night.

It appeared to come from the roof. I started from my seat.
"Yet there are difficulties in the way. That viper reminds me of one. Would not von Kerber object?" "No," said Irene. They jogged along in silence for some distance. The girl added nothing, to her emphatic monosyllable. Dick felt a tugging at his heart-strings which was becoming a dangerously frequent symptom.
'IF, said John Willet, turning his eyes from the ceiling to the face of his interrupter, and uttering the monosyllable in capitals, to apprise him that he had put in his oar, as the vulgar say, with unbecoming and irreverent haste; 'IF, sir, Natur has fixed upon me the gift of argeyment, why should I not own to it, and rather glory in the same? Yes, sir, I AM a tough customer that way.
For all this, a single glance from him was enough to stop any one of them in the middle of a monosyllable. Even Fatima, the favourite, owed much of her influence to the ability she displayed in studying her lord's wishes to the neglect of her own. Golah had seven camels, four of which were required for carrying himself and his wives, with their children, trappings, tent utensils, and tents.
