'Cannot Mosk, with whom Jentham was lodging, enlighten you? Tinkler shook his head. 'Mosk said that Jentham owed him money, and promised to pay him this week; but that I believe was all moonshine. 'But Jentham might have expected to receive money, Mr Inspector? 'Not he, Mr Cargrim, sir. He knew no one here who would lend or give him a farthing. He had no money on him when his corpse was found!
Neither Gray, nor Cowper, nor Byron commanded so wide a circle. They had not the far-reaching sympathies of Burns. They were all more or less fastidious in their choice of correspondents. Burns, on the contrary, was as catholic, or as careless, in his friendships as his own Caesar who "Wad spend an hour caressin' Ev'n wi' a tinkler gipsy's messan."
The poor must study hard so that they may become rich. They become doctors, functionaries, officers. I shall be a 'tinkler. A sword at my side, spur on my boots. Cling, cling! And what are you going to be?" "I don't know," said Foma, pensively, examining his companion. "You need not be anything. And are you fond of pigeons?" "Yes." "What a good-for-nothing you are! Oh! Eh!"
Tinkler, made his appearance. He had lately left a small and little-known college at Cambridge, where he had contrived, contrary to expectation, to evade the uncoveted wooden spoon by just two places, which enabled the Doctor to announce himself as being "assisted by a graduate of the University of Cambridge who has taken honours in the Mathematical Tripos."
But presently a light showed ahead, and next moment there they were in the cave, and stepped out of the carriage on the exact spot where Dickie had set out the moon-seeds and Tinkler and the white seal.
He was, moreover, intrenched; and a wide morass in his front gave him an additional security. His Excellency for a moment surveyed the line, and then said, turning round to one of his aides-de-camp, "Order up Major-General Tinkler and the cavalry."
And with that it vanished altogether, and the darkness with it; and there were the three children and Tinkler and the white seal and the moon-seeds and the sunshine on the floor of the room in the tower. "That's useful," said Edred scornfully. "As if it wasn't just as difficult to know the unlikely places as the likely ones." "I'll tell you what," said Dickie.
"An auld soger," says Edie "that does likeliest at a gentle's door; at a farmer's it's best to say ye're an auld tinkler, if ye need ony quarters, for maybe the gudewife will hae something to souther." "But I said neer ane o' the twa," answered Francis; "my lord cares as little about the tane as the tother for he's best to them that can souther up our sins.

He felt in his pockets, pulled out Tinkler and the white seal, set them on the floor, and, moved by memories of the great night when his dream had come to him, arranged the moon-seeds round them in the same pattern that they had lain in on that night of nights. And the moment that he had lain the last seed, completing the crossed triangles, the magic began again. All was as it had been before.
