Silcox the tobacconist hurried through the lamplight, unquestionably on his way to the Gauntlet. Silcox was a chattering foolish creature who had lost his own and his widowed mother's savings in a ridiculous commercial enterprise a promptly bankrupt theater company over at Rodhaven and it was thought that the workhouse would be the end for him and Mrs. Silcox.
I was not responsible for him to you, but since your excellent wife, Frau Fischelowitz, labours under the impression that I was, I am quite willing to accept the responsibility, and shall therefore discharge the debt before night, as a matter of honour." "It is very kind of you," remarked the tobacconist, smiling at the impressive manner in which the promise was made.
My tobacconist was in his house-boat on the Thames. I met only one or two acquaintances, who seemed so sorry for themselves that their depression was only heightened by recognizing me. The streets were given over to a strangely clad crowd of pilgrims from other lands, American women with short coats, pince nez, and Baedekers, dragging along their mankind in neat suits and outrageous hats.
The foreign count Count Tarnow, he calls himself was formerly a tobacconist in Bayswater, and passed under the humble but expressive name of Schmidt; his daughter if she is his daughter there's another point make a note of that, Mr Forsyth his daughter at that time actually served in the shop and she now proposes to marry a man of the eminence of Mr Thomas! Now do you see our game?
Then he remembered that he also needed matches. This called for a gesture rather more complex; so complex, indeed, that perhaps nobody but a Nepenthean gifted, as all his nation is, with alert intuition could have divined the Apostle's want. The tobacconist was equal to the occasion. With a friendly smile of comprehension he laid on the counter a diminutive pack of wax vestas, price two sous.
But ye'll no deny what I am saying now, lass? 'I ken naething at a' about it, answered Rebecca, doggedly, and looking straight forward with the firm countenance of one not disposed to be compelled to remember more than was agreeable to her. 'Weel said, Rebecca! ye're satisfied wi' your ain share ony way, rejoined the tobacconist.
Never met any persons in the house when she called for the clothes or took them home. Was sure that they had no servant in employ. There appeared to be no furniture in any part of the building except in the fourth story. "Pierre Moreau, tobacconist, deposes that he has been in the habit of selling small quantities of tobacco and snuff to Madame L'Espanaye for nearly four years.
This Gendral Ney, who is now one of the principal commanders under Bonaparte in Germany, was a bankrupt tobacconist at Strasburg in 1790, and is the son of an old-clothes man of Sarre Louis, where he was born in 1765.
If you had been left to yourself, I'm sure you would not have spoken so, but your friend Smith appears to have a special spite against me." I was tempted to retort, but did not, and he went back pensively to his desk, taking the money with him. The remainder of the five-pound note served to discharge my debts to the Twins, and to Tucker, the pastrycook, and Weeden, the tobacconist.
The tobacconist speaks in measured tones, surrounded by some thirty eager faces. He says the Saint of Jenne Is certainly not in prison, that they do not know where he is, but that they do, alas! know other things! Then he relates the other things! If he had told them to the mob on leaving the tram, they would have torn him to pieces.
