Worcester a white rooster, symbol of peace and amity, and escorted him in. But the accompanying Igorots came very near undoing all of Mr. Worcester's plans. Not only were they shut in during their stay, an obvious and necessary condition of good order and the preservation of peace, but, on Mr.
As we had neither laboratories, hospital nor college at the time, the realization of this somewhat comprehensive scheme seemed rather remote. It was commonly referred to as "Worcester's dream," and one of my friends in the army medical corps probably quite correctly voiced public sentiment when he said, "Poor Worcester has bats in his belfry." However, he laughs best who laughs last!
"However did you manage it, Dolly? Where did you get the mice?" "Promise not to tell, Bessie? I can't get anyone else into trouble, you know." Bessie nodded. "It was the guide the Worcester's guide. He's just as mad at them as we are. It seems they've bothered him a lot, anyhow, and he didn't like them even before we came. He suggested the whole thing, and he was willing to do it.
So Decker: "Talke of none but lords and such ladies with whom you have plaid at Primero." Gul's Horne-booke, 1609. 37.

The consequence was that Dick earned probably three times as much as the other. "How do you like it?" asked Dick, surveying Johnny's attacks upon the steak with evident complacency. "It's hunky." I don't believe "hunky" is to be found in either Webster's or Worcester's big dictionary; but boys will readily understand what it means. "Do you come here often?" asked Johnny. "Most every day.
But, amid the 'war of words' and of rival systems, people must have dictionaries, and fortunately there is this of WORCESTER'S, which has of late risen immensely in public favor.
'No, madam; but it seemed to me marvellous that his majesty's messenger should receive such words from my mistress, and in my lord of Worcester's house.

Pirate under Spanish régime, chief of police under American administration, Toolawee is known to fame throughout the archipelago, though perhaps most of his reputation depends upon Mr. Worcester's delightful account of him in "The Philippine Islands."
