The luti plays a sort of "whangadoodle" tune on a guitar, and manipulates the string so as to make the deer keep time to the tune. He tells me he obtained it from Hindostan. Among the wiseacres gathered around me plying questions, is one who asks, "Chand menzils inja to London?" He wants to know how many marches, or stopping-places, there are between Karize and London.
There are plenty of wiseacres who'll tell you that nobody's in danger at these East Coast resorts, and the hotel people will swear solemnly there isn't a serpent in the State; but there are, Hamil, and plenty of them.
Is there any truth involved? Does it touch the living or the welfare of the world? If not, why, then, are these looked upon as the grandest figures since the world began? Are all men fools for admiring them, except these wiseacres who stand for the theory that it makes no difference and who ought not to admire them at all? Suppose you apply the principle in other departments of life.
The women of the Mormon religion are instructed by the wiseacres of the church to win over strangers by kind treatment and by the charm of their conversation and graces; and this young lady has learned the lesson well; she has graduated with high honors.
But come, now, Rosny, you must admit that once or twice, when all your wiseacres were deadlocked, my madness has served." Rosny took Monsieur's hand in a silent grip.

I talked politics with the local wiseacres, and do you know, it has made me think of you ever since?" "How so?" Mr. Stark consulted his watch. "I'm at leisure for just nineteen minutes.
The old wiseacres shook their heads, and the elders of the old school wondered at this new departure in church work.
The dining-room is a large, airy apartment, opening into an extensive garden; a bountiful repast is spread on yellow- checkered tablecloths on the carpeted floor; the Governor squats cross- legged at one end, the stately-looking wiseacres in flowing gowns range themselves along each side in a similar attitude, with much solemnity and show of dignity; they at least so I fancy evidently are anything but rejoiced at the prospect of eating with an infidel Ferenghi.
But during the five years that these honest wiseacres have been preserving, everything has perished the Republic, the Consuls, free discussions, free election, the political liberty, and the liberty of the Press; all all are found nowhere but in old, useless, and rejected codes.
