They had just sat down when a voice from the darkness brought instant silence, and a quick reaching for their weapons. The nerves of the Overland girls were getting jumpy. "I make the near-blind to see and the seeing to see better. I am the promoter of happiness, the benefactor of all-uns of the mountains. Specs, ladies and gentlemen.
"Well, do you remember," continued Edestone, "that when we scrambled up over the next rock ridge we looked into a regular bowl-shaped valley that had the appearance of a crater of an extinct volcano?" "Yes," said Lawrence. "Well, 'Specs' is there in that valley, where perhaps no human being has ever been before. I sent him there for that reason.
I've wore them things two three times when I've ben down to the city, but I never had 'em on but once up here." "No?" said John. "No," said David, "I put 'em on once to show to Polly how city folks dressed he, he, he, he! an' when I come into the room she set forwud on her chair an' stared at me over her specs. 'What on airth! she says.
"Then, before they can put up another bluff at giving Pete his trial, with Judge Ballard setting up in his chair with his specs on and looking fierce, who rushes in but this J.

The old lady took a little spell of rest on a packing-case; then she gave me her umberella and valise to take back to quarters, and, rolling up her sleeves, made like she was going into the hospital again.

Larkin's steps; didn't you know it was wrong?" Annette stood silent looking like a guilty culprit. "Why don't you answer me; what makes you behave so bad?" "I don't know, grandma, I 'specs I did it for the devil. The preacher said the devil makes people do bad things."
Canon Battersby, who moved the vote of thanks to the Bishop, ridiculed the biologists, and likened them to Topsy who accounted for her existence by saying "Specs I growed." Just so. That is precisely how we all did come into existence. Growth and not making is the law for man as well as for every other form of life. Moses stands for manufacture and Darwin stands for growth.
The employé adjusted his specs, withdrew from the desk to consult with his superior; then returning, gave the verdict with a grave but determined manner, "No charge for them, sir: them be insects." Henry Thomas Buckle was born at Lee, in Kent, on November 24th, 1821, the son of a wealthy London merchant.
Though he still indulges in his former cow-heel and other delicacies, they do not appear upon table; while he sports his silver-mounted specs on all occasions. The fruit and venison are freely distributed, and we have come in for a haunch in return for our attentions.
Altogether one of those men who must write to the Times or go mad. Dost like the picture? Both these men, who were walking together, looked at me rather hard; and I attributed the Dragon's failure to stop at the Sign of the Rose to the silly vanity which forbade his wearing "specs" like a sensible old gentleman. Accordingly, with laudable presence of mind, I did what seemed the only thing to do.
