The District Court could, of course, issue a warrant over the head of the police magistrate; but the Court of Appeals was friendly to Squeaks and would certainly quash the warrant; so that, for the time being the many unpleasant possibilities simply balanced each other, and the club went on in a sort of sulphurous calm like that before a storm. Then came an exciting day at the club.
After a time, through some inadvertence of Quashy, the canoe was sent rather close in among the reeds and giant leaves of the bank. "That was stupid of you, Quash," said Lawrence, as he stood up to assist Tiger in backing out. "Das true, massa," said the negro, in profoundest humility of self-condemnation, "I's a black idjit."
The indulgence-venders thundered their anathemas, promising a speedy holocaust of Luther's body. The monasteries took on the form of so many kennels of enraged hounds howling to each other across the spiritual waste. And even some who pronounced the Theses scriptural and orthodox shook their heads and sought to quash such dangerous proceedings. But Luther remained firm at his post.
To David's ears there was something familiar in that song as it rose wildly on the morning air. "Pa sho ke non ze koon, Ta ba nin ga, Ah no go suh nuh guk, Na quash kuh mon; Na guh mo yah nin koo, Pa sho ke non ze koon, Pa sho ke non ze koon, Ta ba nin go." "What is it?" he asked, when Father Roland dropped back to his side, smiling and breathing deeply.

"Splendid place dis, massa," observed the negro, after they had walked and chatted some distance beyond the town. "Yes, Quash, very beautiful." "Lots ob nice shady trees an' bushes, and flowers, an' fruits, an' sweet smells ob oranges, an' " He waved his arms around, as if to indicate a profusion of delights which his tongue could not adequately describe.
She'll go back to the wigwam of her father, and I'll go and have a jolly good splitting gallop across the Pampas with Pedro and Quashy." "Dat's just de bery best t'ing what you can do, massa." Lawrence turned round abruptly, and found that his faithful servant was hurrying after him, and grinning tremendously. "Why, you're always laughing, Quash," said the youth, a little sharply.
"Quite true, Quash," replied Lawrence, who was content to play second violin in the duet. "Is you gwine," inquired Quashy, after a brief pause, "to de gubner's ball to-night?" "No. I did not know there was a governor, or that he intended to give a ball." The negro opened his eyes in astonishment.
The lieutenant's advice was to quash the proceedings and obtain an injunction against the continuance of the preliminaries to the action. The marchioness spent a large sum of money, and obtained this injunction; but it was immediately reversed, and the bar to the suit removed. La Foresterie was then ordered to pass to Riom, where the sisters Quinet lived, and to bribe them heavily to secrecy.
