I attended his funeral as I had attended Leech's twenty-six years before; Canon Ainger, a common friend of us both, performed the service.
And is he still unwed?" asked Amru in surprise; for no Moslem of the leech's age and position could remain unmarried without exposing himself to the contempt of his fellow-believers. "He is a widower then!" "No," replied Mary. "He has never yet found a wife to suit him; but I know one created on purpose for him by God himself!"
Cameron. "Herbert," said the landlord, "here is a gentleman wants to go to Squire Leech's. Would you mind showing him the way?" "I will do so with pleasure," said our hero, politely. "Are you ready to go now, sir?" "Yes," said the stranger. "Landlord, please assign me a room and have my bag carried up." "All right, sir." "Now, my lad, I am ready. It isn't far, is it?"
In a minute or two, when we close this discourse and walk the streets, we shall see a dozen such. Ere we shut the desk up, just one word to point out to the unwary specially to note the backgrounds of landscapes in Leech's drawings homely drawings of moor and wood, and seashore and London street the scenes of his little dramas.
Boyd Dawkins is right, if the Eskimo derive their lineage from the artists of the Dordogne, then the Eskimo are sadly degenerated. In Mr. The design is like a hasty memorandum of Leech's. It is rather like a record, a piece of picture-writing, than a free sketch, a rapid representation of what is most characteristic in nature.
Conrad Teufel had instantly placed him in bed and sent for the leech; but even after they had bathed his head with cold water and bled him he did not regain consciousness. His left side seemed completely paralysed, and his tongue could barely lisp a few unintelligible words. At the leech's desire a Sister of Charity had been sent for.
It is my rule not to quote at length from what is readily accessible, and therefore I cull only one delightful episode from Leech's Sketches of Life and Character. Two little chaps are discussing the age of a third; and the one reflectively remarks, "Well, I don't 'zactly know how old Charlie is; but he must be very old, for he blows his own nose."
This world, naturally, was not Leech's; if it had ever been, I doubt; his bohemia, if he ever had lived in one, had been the bohemia of medicine, not of art, and he seemed to us then to be living on social heights of fame and sport and aristocratic splendour where none of us dreamed of seeking him and he did not seek us.
His personal charm was great, as great in its way as Leech's; he was democratic and so was I, as one is bound to be when one is impecunious and the world is one's oyster to open with the fragile point of a lead-pencil.
Cheerman!" sounded out from the rear of the hall, and to the great indignation of Mr. O'Fake and to everybody else's surprise, Mr. Duffer Leech, the Man with the Phenomenal Skull, was observed to be standing with his arm lifted and his index finger extended towards the Chair. Mr. O'Fake was much too astonished at Mr. Leech's audacity to express himself.
