"O it did, did it? but Frank's was not much better," said the senator, turning to his lady. "Indeed it was not," said she, compassionately. "Very well," said Mr , very quietly, "I'll tell you this, Master Rattlin, sportsmen as you think yourselves, you and Frank, after all, whatever you both were when you went into the lake, you turned out two Johnny Raws."
The bore is the same, eating dates under the cedars of Lebanon, as over a plate of baked beans in Beacon Street. Parties of travellers have a morbid instinct for "establishing raws" upon each other. A man shall sit down with his friend at the foot of the Great Pyramid and they will take up the question they had been talking about under "the great elm," and forget all about Egypt.

To be sure, when this had been indiscreetly alluded to in the House by one of those gentlemen who pass their leisure hours in looking out for raws in the hide of the Government carcass, some other gentleman, some gentleman from the Treasury bench, had been able to give a very satisfactory reply.

In Arabic it has no such significance, and even the lower orders apply it to themselves; although it often has a soupon of "I and thou." Rodwell renders "from germs of life," "from sorry water." To "Johnny Raws" he never fails to show the little rolls which come off the body and prove to them how unclean they are, but the material is mostly dead scarf-skin
A New Year's Day's hunt with Sir Harry had long been looked forward to by the little Raws, and the little Spooneys, and the big and little Cheeks, and we don't know how many others.
