I should prefer to be my own tenant; only it would give me a hundred pounds more to get a substitute's money. I should like to be at work writing instantly. Ink is my opium, and the pen my nigger, and he must dig up gold for me. It is written. Danvers, you can make ready to dress me when I ring. Emma helped the beautiful woman to her dressing-gown and the step from her bed.
His voice was hoarse and raspy, and there were drops of sweat upon his forehead. "Is it true, Mr. Courage," he said, "that you are still believed here to be dead?" "Certainly!" I answered. "I have not communicated even with my lawyers. My substitute's fate was enough to make me careful!" "Does any one know on this side?" "My cousin, Sir Gilbert Hardross. He is with us.
The Real Teacher stands aloof, with awe and distance between herself and the inhabitants of the rows of desks she holds dominion over. But a Substitute tells the class all about her duty and its duty, and about what she is planning and what she expects of them. A Substitute makes the occupants of the desks feel flattered and conscious and important. The Substitute's name was Miss Jenny.
I was a fool to think he wanted me." Then, looking with a sort of crazed disdain at Jenny, she said coolly, "Well, how is it you're not ready? Don't you see your substitute's waiting! Your land lover!" "Land!" cried Alf. "Land! A sailor!" He flushed deeply, raising his arms a little as if to ward off some further revelation.
Might he not have neglected to call his master, and yet have asked whether he was awake? Might he not have said that the inn-gates were safe, out of hearing of the ostler witness? Mr. Substitute's answers to Peytel's statements are no answer at all.
But I think it is dearest of all in a little house in the outskirts of Amsterdam, where, now that my Uncle Drummond has been called to his reward, our Flora keeps home bright for a Protestant pastor who works all the day through in the prisons of Amsterdam, among the lowest of the vile; who knows what exile and imprisonment are; and who, once in every year, as the day of his substitute's death comes round, pleads with these prisoners from words which are overwhelming to himself, "Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price."
The other four were natural athletes two of them played on the school eleven and the others were just built for track athletics and basket ball. Dick tried for the eleven but he wasn't heavy enough for one thing and so didn't make anything but a substitute's position with the freshmen. I was just as well satisfied.

It was the allowed practice at that time, and for many years after, for young men intended for the navy to serve by proxy. A ship's boy would be borne on the books in the name of the future midshipman, who was allowed the credit of his substitute's service, and whose time in the navy was thus running on while he was still at school.
"Seems to me I got something in the bill o' ladin' 'bout that," and he drew forth the long memorandum Cap'n Abe had made to guide his substitute's treatment of certain customers. "No," the substitute storekeeper said, shaking his head negatively. "Can't do it." "Why not, I want to know?" blustered Milt. "I guess my credit's good." He already had the Brown Mule in his hand.
