"Yuh'll be sum sadder if yuh don't keep yuah hooks on yuah side of the table!" warned Red, sinisterly, as he successfully repelled a similar assault on his own reserves.

Imagine you I have lain here, under tender Spanish care, all these weeks, where, as I do most solemnly affirm, not so much as a glass of decent wine has found way down my throat, nor have I possessed a bit of pomade for the proper arrangement of my locks which will account for their present dishevelment Saint Cecilia! but that moon-faced Moor who commands the guard merely laughed at me when I did request a comb; think you, I say, I have been through all this without calculating chances for escape?
It had as much to fear from the angry blasts of winter as the babe who has not yet tasted its nurse's milk: boughs of trees on which hung crimson flowers, that gleamed like a flame amidst their dusky foliage. Forthwith the king sent him a moon-faced damsel.
We saw, also, several "Dutch Charleys" who had struck it rich. They were moon-faced, bland, chuckle-headed looking men, generally with walrus moustaches, squat and heavy, with fatuous, placid smiles.

If he had married a wife like himself, there might probably enough have sprung from the alliance a family of moon-faced children, who would have dropped into their places like posts into their holes, asking no questions of life, contented, like so many other honest folks, with the part of supernumeraries in the drama of being, their wardrobe of flesh and bones being furnished them gratis, and nothing to do but to walk across the stage wearing it.

Well, it was their system the system not to start too young, to form healthy fibre, and let the after-life develop it! "Successful!" he thought, nearly stumbling over a pair of patent-leather boots belonging to a moon-faced, genial-looking member with gold nose-nippers; "oh, it 's successful!"
The moon-faced member with the patent boots came up and began talking of his recent visit to the south of France.
