"You're a smart chap!" said Bainton at last, breaking the mystic spell and rising to take his leave "An' I don't want to argify with ye, for I'spect you're about right in what you sez about Sunday ways in town but I tell ye what, young feller! you've got to 'ave a deal o' patience an' a deal o' pity for they poor starveling sinners wot gits boxed up in cities an' never ain't got no room to look at the sky, or see the wide fields with all the daisies blowin' open to the sun.
Their hungry eyes and their lank forms continually suggested one glaring, unsentimental fact they wanted what they term in California "a square meal." I went into one of the racks and undressed. An unclean starveling wrapped a gaudy table-cloth about his loins, and hung a white rag over my shoulders. If I had had a tub then, it would have come natural to me to take in washing.
Was it knowledge of this passage, Master, or ignorance of everything else, that made certain of the common steadfast dunces of our days speak of thee as if thou hadst been a starveling, neglected poetaster, jealous forsooth, of Maitre Francoys Rabelais?

That which was venial in a miserable starveling of Grub Street is perfectly disgusting in the extravagantly paid novelists of these days the caressed, of generous booksellers. Mr Ainsworth and Captain Marryat ought to disdain such pitiful peddling. Let them eschew it without delay." Marryat's reply was, spirited and manly.
It was an enormous one, the procession of pipes ranging from long, starveling whistles to thundering fat guns; they covered all the rear wall of the church, and the organist's figure, reaching its high perch, looked like that of some Lilliputian magician ludicrously daring the attempt to control a monster certain to overwhelm him.
