"Was there any noos on the play-cards?" he inquired after a moment, becoming aware of their presence. "Emmy Jenny." "No, Pa. I told you. Have to wait till Sunday. Funny thing there's so much more news in the Sunday papers: I suppose people are all extra wicked on Saturdays. They get paid Friday night, I shouldn't wonder; and it goes to their heads." "Silly!" Emmy said under her breath.
They're the birds in the cage, the what is it your friend called them? 'Die Stubenvogel, I said. 'Yes, but all the birds aren't caged. There's a few outside the bars and they don't collect noos. They do things. If there's anything desperate they're put on the job, and they've got power to act without waiting on instructions from home.
The worthy groom therefore made up his mind to hold his tongue and enjoy himself as long as it lasted. "When I wakes up out o' this remarkable and not unpleasant dream," he muttered, between the whiffs of his cigarette, one evening after dinner, "I'll write it out fair, an' 'ave it putt in the Daily Noos or the Times."
"Noos as ever was noos as'll surprise ye, Peter." "Well?" I inquired. "Well, Peter, Black Jarge be 'took' again." "What?" I exclaimed. "Oh! I knowed 'twould come I knowed 'e couldn't last much longer. I says to Simon, day afore yesterday it were, 'Simon, I says, 'mark my words, 'e'll never last the month out no." "How did it happen, Ancient?"

An extra half-pound of meat, five biscuits instead of one and a quarter, and a few additional ounces of mealie meal, were more to them at that moment than a British victory. February 23.
"Did Alf say there was any noos?" He admitted an uncertainty. Furtively he looked at her, suspecting all the time that memory had betrayed him; but in his ancient way continuing to trust to Magic. "Well, you didn't seem to think much of what he did bring. But I'll tell you a bit of news, Pa. And that is, that you've got a pair of the rummiest daughters I ever struck!"
He heard her voice, and came, with his sauntering gait, moving slowly among the rose-trees. "I've a telegram from Cairo," she said. She took up the paper and showed it to him. "My lord Arminigel he is comin' back?" "Yes." "That is very good noos, very nice noos indeed," said Ibrahim, with an air of sleepy satisfaction. "He starts to-night, and will be here with the express to-morrow morning."
He bowed with a great flourish of politeness, spat copiously in the fire, and bade the count good-day in a thin and shrill-pitched voice, so out of keeping with his monstrous size that I had to cough and turn away to disguise a laugh. "My respects, count," said Mr. Quorn, "my respects and compliments. I presoom, sir, you have heard the noos from the European Continent."
"The young lady was quite correct," I said. "You weren't." Then as we pushed off for the Betty I added: "But I'm glad you've come back in good time today. I want you to go in and post a letter for me at Tilbury as soon as we've had some breakfast. You might get a newspaper for me at the same time." "Talkin' o' noos, sir," observed Mr.
I fixed up a lot of connections in this city before I arrived, and especially a noos service with your Foreign Office by way of Rumania and Russia. In a day or two I guess our friends will know all about our discoveries. At that I opened my eyes very wide. 'Why, yes. You Britishers haven't any notion how wide-awake your Intelligence Service is.
