Wyckholme, gulping his brandy and soda. Mr. Wyckholme was the second son of Sir Somebody-or-other and had married the vicar's daughter. This put him into such bad odour with his family that he hurried off to the dogs and a goodly sized menagerie besides, if the records of the inebriate's asylum are to be credited. His wife, after enduring him for sixteen years, secured a divorce.
'I am a magician out of the "Arabian Nights," and this mat that I have under my arm is the original carpet of Mohammed Ben Somebody-or-other. Say the word, and you can have a cruise upon the carpet. 'You don't mean to say this is the Travelling Carpet? I cried. 'You bet I do, said he. 'You've been to America since last I read the "Arabian Nights," said I, a little suspicious.
"Glory!" said Jerry, "perhaps it will." Just in the middle of the rainiest week came the thing that made Aunt Ailsa so sad. She read it in the newspaper, in the casualty list. It was the last summer of the war, and there were great long casualty lists every day. This said that Somebody-or-other Westland was "wounded and missing."
By the 'oly Peter! Let me at 'im! I'll show 'im whether I'm living or not! "'What ails you, you villain? says the feller that owned the yacht, a great big Englishman, Lord Somebody-or-other. 'The man saved your lives. "'He knocked us overboard! yells Julius. "'Yes, and he done it a-purpose! sputters Van Doozen, well as he could for being so waterlogged. "'Let's kill him! says all three.
She could travel with a box, he supposed, possibly with two or three, and parcels. Could take tickets, walk up a gangway, stagger about a deck feeling, maybe, a little seasick. All these years he had been living with her in dreamland she had been, if he had only known it, a Miss Somebody-or-other, who must have stood every morning in front of a looking-glass with hairpins in her mouth.
My preference was founded on a work which appeared in CASSELL'S FAMILY PAPER, and was read aloud to me by my nurse. It narrated the doings of one Custaloga, an Indian brave, who, in the last chapter, very obligingly washed the paint off his face and became Sir Reginald Somebody-or-other; a trick I never forgave him.
There is bound to be a spot. The Somebody-or-Other must take hold of us somewhere when she dips us in the Something-or-Other that makes us invulnerable.

The point is that Warde's thinking about it was very characteristic of him. In this instance he accepted his patrol leader's decision....
Sam introduced the Englishman to me Lord Somebody-or-other, I forget what, as I never saw him again. I turned like a bulldog from a toy terrier and was at Miss Ellersly again. "Let me put a little something on Mowghli for you," said I. "You're bound to win and I'll see that you don't lose. I know how you ladies hate to lose." That was a bit stiff, as I know well enough now.
"Well," said she, "they had table-tipping and it was the most uncanny thing to see the table go jumping about the room! And then there were raps and one can't imagine how strange it was to see people who really believed they were getting messages from ghosts. It positively made my flesh creep.
