Again that strange shiver shot through him from head to feet as he saw the grim smile that appeared for just a single instant on that thin face, and then vanished. He went immediately into the bank vault, which was open, though the inner one had been fastened when the tellers left their stations, and carefully placed the packet in the exact spot he had been told.
While the clock was striking seven, she returned to the church-yard, and O! the wonderful power of fortune tellers! there she saw him! there sat the very man! his hair as light as flax, his eyes as blue as butter-milk, and his shoulders as round as a tub. Every tittle agreed, to the very nosegay in his waistcoat button-hole.
The shadows were settling down on the excited crowd, the tellers found it getting too dark to do their work, and gas was demanded. The Blaine men, in an ungovernable frenzy, were determined to resist every effort at adjournment, while the combined opposition were equally bent on postponement in order to kill off Blaine.
Tellers and scribes on that occasion, under the orders of Yudhishthira, ceaselessly asked the old king. Do thou command, O monarch, what gifts should be made to these. All things are ready here. As soon as the king spoke, they gave away what he directed.
It was so funny to read how the girls of Old Egypt had consulted palmists and fortune tellers and astrologers just as girls did in Bond Street now; and that what 'Billikens' and 'Swasticas' and birth-stones were to us, images of gods were to the girls of Egypt who lived before the days of Moses!

Mr. Dana was one of our best story tellers, and his narrations were instructive as well as interesting.
Among tellers of Irish stories, Lord Morris is supreme; one of his best depicts two Irish officials of the good old times discussing, in all the confidence of their after-dinner claret, the principles on which they bestowed their patronage Said the first, "Well, I don't mind admitting that, caeteris paribus, I prefer my own relations."
"And receiving tellers," put in Bristow quickly, "sometimes need money need it to make good other money they have 'borrowed' from the bank. How did you find this out?" "He told me when I met him at Number Five after leaving you this afternoon." "Was he still there then?" "Yes. It seems that Miss Fulton refused at first to see him. When she did see him, it was for only a minute or two.
They have thus the appearance of being of more recent origin than those of the first division, yet it is worthy of note that there is little in them which seems foreign to or out of keeping with the older tales. The last division may be said to be made up of fables, for the story tellers without hesitation label them as fictions.
