The old general listened for some time to the discussion, and then asked the parson if he had read Captain Morris's or George Stephens's or Anacreon Moore's bacchanalian songs; on the other replying in the negative, "Oh, then," said the general, with a sagacious nod, "if you want a drinking song, I can furnish you with the latest collection I did not know you had a turn for those kind of things; and I can lend you the Encyclopaedia of Wit into the bargain.
Sure enough, towards the south end of the canal, three or four hundred yards south of the Jasper B., and about the same distance east of Morris's, was anchored a house boat. She was painted a slaty gray color.
So utter was Morris's subjection that he did not wait to be asked, but handed the note to John as soon as he had glanced at it himself. 'That's the way to write a letter, cried John. 'Nobody but Michael could have written that. And Morris did not even claim the credit of priority.
"Oh, no," replied the cabman. "Mr. Morris is the person of the house." "It is not a common way of collecting guests," said Brackenbury: "but an eccentric man might very well indulge the whim without any intention to offend.

Lewis Morris's poems, M. Ohnet's novels, or the plays of Mr. Henry Arthur Jones, the true critic can, if it be his pleasure so to direct or waste his faculty of contemplation, produce work that will be flawless in beauty and instinct with intellectual subtlety. Why not?
But, when I saw her last, she denied any knowledge of Morris's whereabouts. Then I reasoned, she had seen him in the interim." "That's it," cried Pendleton, as he stepped forward and slapped the table with his palm; "that's it, beyond a doubt!
