Newland." "There, Tim," said I, as I finished reading it over, "take that as a sop to the old Cerberus.
We went along in profound silence, creeping, almost crawling, along the ditches. At last we reached the spot assigned. "I abruptly disbanded my soldiers, who darted into the vineyard and found Timbuctoo on hands and knees travelling around among the vines and eating grapes, or rather devouring them as a dog eats his sop, snatching them in mouthfuls from the vine with his teeth.
Still, this musical 'sop' is so fine in itself that it is performed as written, on every stage; it is so brilliant that the leading lady does not substitute her favorite show piece, as is very commonly done in operas.

"He has found another boarding place for her, but she is to remain in the school. He had to throw that sop to the whale." "Does she take sides against the girl?" "No, I don't think she does. She says she feels sorry for her, and that she would hate to be colored. 'It is so hard to be looked down on for what one can't help." "Poor child! I wish we could leave the country.
This man this alleged brother, threw him a sop, insulted him by offering him charity. Why should he hesitate? It was his life or another's. There was a big prize to be won. Life was sweet when one has millions to enjoy it with. This man had now on his person diamonds worth over a million and he had more millions at home.
Delmour-Carnes that crowd rich and stingy. That's why they are contented with a yearly agreement with the farmers instead of buying the four thousand acres.
