It not only won over Ricketts, but most of the other leading spirits of the Fifth, who had been similarly holding back. Tony was not the fellow to let an advantage go by. Having once got his men into a becoming frame of mind, he kept them well in hand and worked them up into something like the old enthusiasm on the subject of the Dominican.
"You had better go on dishing up your supper, mother and not be talking nonsense like that. Miss Polly is a very good young lady, but she hasn't no thought of folly of that sort. Eh, dear me," continued Maggie, yawning prodigiously "I'm a bit tired, and no mistake." "That's always the way," responded Mrs. Ricketts.
The captain, by the way, was in excellent spirits, despite his misfortune. Thirty-five, forty! The Fifth began to look hot and puzzled. The batsmen were evidently far too much at home with the bowling. A change must be made, even though it be to put on only a second-rate bowler. Tom Senior was put on. He was nothing like as good a bowler as either Wraysford, or Oliver, or Ricketts.
Of course, just when it's not wanted there's a breeze got up, blowing right down the field, and in the very teeth of the schoolboys, who have lost the toss, and have to play from the oak-tree end for the first half of the game! "It's always the way," growls Ricketts. "They'll simply eat us up while they've got the chance, you see!"
At 9 o'clock I always repaired to the castle to breakfast with the Governor, and Captain Ricketts, the commandant, after which I used to pass my time among the different merchants, who had all called on me on my first arrival, and given me a general invitation to their houses.

Accordingly, about the 1st of July, the Third division of our Sixth corps, under command of General Ricketts, was sent to Baltimore, and from thence marched toward Frederick, Maryland, where, on the banks of the Monocacy near the railroad bridge, the enemy was encountered.
When Oliver and Wraysford appeared in boating flannels in the playground they created as much sensation as if they had been ghosts. "You don't mean to say you're going out, you fellows?" exclaimed Ricketts, one of the idle ones of the Fifth. "Yes, I do," said Wraysford. "But the Nightingale, I say?" "That's not till Monday." "I know; but aren't you grinding for it? I say, don't let them beat you!
Some old political papers of the Great Rebellion, and a monkey's skull, not exhibited to any anatomist, are said to have been discovered under the floor of the lobby, or of one of the rooms. Mrs. Ricketts adds sadly, "The unbelief of Chancellor Hoadley went nearest my heart," as he had previously a high opinion of her veracity. The Bishop of St.
It was only at Venice and Antwerp that he was welcomed as the Albert Duerer whom we to-day know, love, and honour. C. S. Ricketts and Mr. C. H. Shannon, reproduced in the sixth folio of the Duerer Society, 1903. Mr. Campbell Dodgson describes the drawing as in a measure spoilt by retouching, but what convinces him that these retouches are not by Duerer? DUeRER'S METAL ENGRAVINGS
