May they help thee to thy River, for they are thine. 'I will take them and the pencils and the white note-book, said the lama, 'as a sign of friendship between priest and priest and now He fumbled at his belt, detached the open-work iron pincers, and laid it on the Curator's table. 'That is for a memory between thee and me my pencase. It is something old even as I am.

It is, however, noticeable after careful comparison of the work of Chippendale with that of Ince and Mayhew, that the furniture designed and made by the latter has many more of the characteristic details and ornaments which are generally looked upon as denoting the work of Chippendale; for instance, the fretwork ornaments finished by the carver, and then applied to the plain mahogany, the open-work scroll-shaped backs to encoignures or china shelves, and the carved Chinaman with the pagoda.

'Oh, I wish it wouldn't! Oh, I wish it wouldn't!
