"Well," I said, "three guineas, which I shall have over, will buy me a couple of pairs of what-d'ye-call-'ems;" of which, entre nous, I was in great want, having just then done growing, whereas my pantaloons were made a good eighteen months before.
"We only caught twelve last time." "Ah! but then see how it came on to rain, else we could have caught dozens more." "Suppose Dusty Bob does not get the what-d'ye-call-'ems ready!" said Fred. "What! the bobs? Oh! he's sure to have them ready," said Philip. "He knows that he will get a shilling for making them, so he is sure to be there, with them all in a flower pot. Isn't he, Harry?"
Arrange to have a special department special entrance, if possible with "The Club" painted up. Yes, by jingo! Have a big room, with comfortable chairs, and the women's weekly papers lying about, and smart dresses displayed on what-d'ye-call-'ems, like they have in windows. Make the subscription very low at first, and give rattling good value; never mind if you lose by it.

"My dear Seraph," said Cecil himself once, on this point, to the Marquis, "if you want generosity, fidelity, and all the rest of the cardinal what-d'ye-call-'ems sins, ain't it? go to a noble-hearted Scamp; he'll stick to you till he kills himself. If you want to be cheated, get a Respectable Immaculate; he'll swindle you piously, and decamp with your Doncaster Vase."
"Of course he do," put in the colored man. "I'se awful sorry. Now if it were afternoon I could bring back dem what-d'ye-call-'ems in a jiffy, 'cause Boomerang allers feels good arter he has his dinnah, but befo' dat " and Eradicate shook his head, as if there was no more to be said on the subject. "Well," remarked Tom, sadly, "I guess there's no help for it.
