I'm very willing to say good-by to the Maria, but I don't know whether you'll care to start me out with three months' wages. He got his money-box right away. 'My son, says he, 'I think it cheap at the money. He had me there." It was a singular tale for a man to tell of himself; above all, in the midst of our discussion; but it was quite in character for Nares.
The practice for securing this adaptability in the modulations of pitch is as follows. Begin with the nares or humming tone, giving it on as many different notes of the scale as can be easily reached. Practise the scale gliding from one note to another while maintaining the pure tone. Practise gliding in the form of inflection, or slide, from one extreme of pitch to another.
I find it difficult to believe that Davenport could have preserved throughout five acts such clear directness of style. The old form of "pop-gun." Xeres. Cadiz. Span. picaro, a rogue or thief. Nares quotes several instances of "picaro" and "picaroon" from our early writers. It would be an improvement to read "enkindled," or "kindled at the first." Cf. The meaning is "band, company."
The ancients had a high opinion of camphor, a reputation which this drug preserved until, comparatively, a late period, for Scaliger informs that, in the 17th century, monks were compelled to smell and masticate it for the purpose of extinguishing concupiscence; and it was a favourite maxim of the medical school of Salernum that "Camphora per nares castrat odore mares."

"That's the money Trent tramped and traded with? And there's his cheque-book to draw upon his owners? And he has left it?" "I guess he has," said Nares, austerely, jotting down a note of the gold; and I was abashed into silence till his task should be completed.
Endeavor to concentrate all consciousness upon the conception of a tone emanating from the nares anteri and floating in ideal forms of vibration in the surrounding air. Those forms may vary in their definite nature, but must always obey the principle of curves and radiation.
Wicks was amazed, but he naturally ventured no remark; and a little after, the six Currency Lasses sat down with Trent and Goddedaal to a spread of marmalade, butter, toast, sardines, tinned tongue, and steaming tea. The food was not very good, and I have no doubt Nares would have reviled it, but it was manna to the castaways.
It is indispensable that I should have a word or two with Captain Nares." Both the smugglers were afoot at once, protesting. The business, they declared, must be despatched at once; they had run risk enough, with a conscience, and they must either finish now, or go. "The choice is yours, gentlemen," said I, "and, I believe, the eagerness.
On the other hand, if he's wrong we destroy a hundred and fifty tons of good rice for nothing. It's a point to be considered." "I don't hesitate," said I. "Let's get to the bottom of the thing.
