Kim saw nothing save a vision of the lama going south in a train with none to beg for him. 'Like most people, I'm going to temporize. If your friend sends the money from Benares Powers of Darkness below, where's a street-beggar to raise three hundred rupees? ye'll go down to Lucknow and I'll pay your fare, because I can't touch the subscription-money if I intend, as I do, to make ye a Catholic.
'Powers of Darkness below! Father Victor fumbled with the note. 'An' now he's off with another of his peep-o'-day friends. I don't know whether it will be a greater relief to me to get him back or to have him lost. He's beyond my comprehension. How the Divil yes, he's the man I mean can a street-beggar raise money to educate white boys?
Thus, the impunity nay, the protection and sympathy afforded to the street-beggar, and the way in which the very poor divide their crust with those still more poverty-stricken than themselves, surprise the stranger who observes the scene in the open streets.
Ermengarde gasped. "Oh, oh!" she cried woefully. "And I never knew!" "I didn't want you to know," Sara said. "It would have made me feel like a street beggar. I know I look like a street beggar." "No, you don't you don't!" Ermengarde broke in. "Your clothes are a little queer but you couldn't look like a street beggar. You haven't a street-beggar face."
The mother warns her little ones at play about the effect of wrong-doing upon their future births, as the children of other parents. The pilgrim or the street-beggar accepts your alms with the prayer that your next birth may be fortunate. The aged inkyo, whose sight and hearing begin to fail, talks cheerily of the impending change that is to provide him with a fresh young body.
"Just one word," he begged quickly, but very gently. "You'd allow a street-beggar that much!" She stood before him, panting, and, as he thought, glorious, in her flush of youth and anger.
"Faith, Adam Cupid hath forsworn my fellowship long since; he hath no score chalked up against him at the Boar's Head Tavern; or, if he have, I doubt not the next street-beggar might discharge it." "And she hath commended me to her children as a very gallant gentleman and a true knight," Sir John went on, reflectively. He cast his eyes toward the ceiling, and grinned at invisible deities.
"Come, come, Miss Ellen, you must not stay here any longer," called the servant, who had been very intent at ranging the cushions in the pew, and who now hurried her little charge through the aisle, apprehensive that some evil might accrue from her contiguity with a "street-beggar." But the words of the little girl had brought a new and precious light into the boy's heart.
"I'm sure I don't know, sir," replied Bobby Smudge, in a long drawl, worthy of a London professional street-beggar. "Should you know it again if you saw it?" asked the first-lieutenant. "Oh yes, sir; I'm sure I should," replied Master Smudge, brightening up and looking the picture of innocent simplicity.
His dead Christs for example, were obviously copied exactly as the corpses lay or hung in his studio. The S. Onofrio of the Perugia altar-piece, stood just so, a half-starved street-beggar, with baggy skin over rheumatic joints. The angel in the same picture, chosen perhaps for its grace of face, must be reproduced exactly as the child sat, with weak legs and ungainly body.
