Any creature, which can hear, smell, taste, feel, or see, may take note of its signals, if he can understand them. A tired listener at church, by properly varying his long yawns and his short ones, may express his opinion of the sermon to the opposite gallery before the sermon is done. A dumb tobacconist may trade with his customers in an alphabet of short-sixes and long-nines.
"I like her to be dirty," said Priam stoutly. "She ought to be dirty. She wouldn't be the same if she were clean." "I don't hold with dirt," said the tobacconist calmly. "She'd be better if she had a bath of a Saturday night like other folks." "Well," said Priam, "I want an ounce of the usual."
He was obviously not in the habit of dealing with the People. The Vicomte d'Audierne had a different manner of speaking to different people this man, who resembled him so strangely, gave his orders without heeding the reception of them. The tobacconist was essentially a man of peace. He passed out of a small door in the corner of the shop, obeying without a murmur, and leaving the new-comer alone.
"Weel said, Rebecca! ye're satisfied wi' your ain share ony way," rejoined the tobacconist. The buck of the second-head, for a buck of the first-head he was not, had hitherto been slapping his boots with his switch-whip, and looking like a spoiled child that has lost its supper.
I go there from time to time to smoke and have a chat, and find him as great a creature as in the days of his prosperity; he has an Olympian air behind the counter; and although a sedentary life is beginning to tell upon his waistcoat, he is probably, take him for all in all, the handsomest tobacconist in London. I was a great solitary when I was young.
These men are lovers of Paris; they lift their noses at such or such a corner of a street, certain that they can see the face of a clock; they tell a friend whose tobacco-pouch is empty, "Go down that passage and turn to the left; there's a tobacconist next door to a confectioner, where there's a pretty girl." Rambling about Paris is, to these poets, a costly luxury.
He watched her until she entered a shop, on the signboard of which was written written since he had left a few months ago Lucy Rives, Tobacconist. Shon had then entered the Saints' Repose; and we know the rest.
Akulina's unmistakable step was heard in the passage a moment later. Schmidt would have preferred that Fischelowitz should have come himself, though he managed to live on very good terms with Akulina. Though far from tactful he guessed that in a matter concerning the Count, the tobacconist would prove more obliging than his wife.
Matches can't be bought at all, but if you buy other things, and then are very polite, they will throw in a box for love; at least, a tobacconist did so for me. They used to be a shilling a box, but the authorities limited the price to a penny, a futile proceeding. The charm of Pretoria lies in its outlying roads, with its cool little villas peeping out of green.
The sense of Smell is very highly developed among animals, who are compelled to rely upon it to a considerable extent. And many occupations among men require the development of this sense, for instance, the tobacconist, the wine dealer, the perfumers, the chemist, etc. It is related that in the cases of certain blind people, it has been observed that they could distinguish persons in this manner.
