"Get your hat, son," said Mr. Bloom, in his breezy way, "and a blank deed, and come along. It's a job for you." "Now," he continued, when Mr. Cooly had responded with alacrity, "is there a bookstore in town?" "One," said the lawyer. "Henry Williams's."
Raiatea was his first home, Rarotonga his second. There he placed his family, which long consisted of his one boy, John, born in Tahiti, all Mrs. Williams's subsequent babes scarcely living to see the light, until, in the sixteenth year of her Polynesian life, another son rejoiced her.
Williams's facts as incontestable, and wrote, advocating his method of checking the spread of so destructive a plague. The first able memoir which contested all that has been said in favor of inoculation, appeared in Turin, and was written by Dr. Riviglio, a Piedmontese veterinary surgeon.

Some hours later he began to dream; he dreamed that his feet and legs were becoming uncomfortable as a result of Sam Williams's activities with a red-hot poker. "You QUIT that!" he said aloud, and awoke indignantly. Again a dark, wrappered figure hovered over the bed. "It's only a hot-water bag, dear," Mrs. Schofield said, still labouring under the covers with an extended arm.
No one answered. Lemuel stood pale and silent, fronting the porter, who was shaking his fist in his face. He had not heard anything definite in the outrage that assailed him. He only conjectured that it was exposure of Williams's character, and the story of his own career in Boston. "Why don't you fire him out of there, Barker?" called the law- student.
