"I cannot part with him," replied the widow, bursting into tears; "indeed, indeed, I cannot." "So I've found out the way to move her," thought the carpenter; "those tears will do her some good, at all events. Not part with him!" added he aloud. "Why you wouldn't stand in the way of his good fortune surely? I'll be a second father to him, I tell you. Remember what the conjuror said."
"S," said the philosopher, like a child getting his lesson in the primer "S, T, A, R, C, H, Starch! dat is what de woman-washers put into de neckerchers, and de shirt collar." "Search!" echoed Ochiltree; "na, na, Mr. Dusterdeevil, ye are mair of a conjuror than a clerk it's search, man, search See, there's the Ye clear and distinct." "Aha! I see it now it is search number one.
I almost took ye for a conjuror, first-along upon my word I did! But once I get the drift o' your cunning, 'tis easy as easy." He gazed at Mr Benny and winked knowingly. "You may tell me, if you please," replied Mr Benny, himself somewhat mystified, but playing for safety.

Tito, disposed always to cultivate goodwill, though it might be the least select, put a piece of four grossi into his hand as he moved away, and was thanked by a look which, the conjuror felt sure, conveyed a perfect understanding of the whole affair.
He doubles like the serpent, changes and flashes like the shaken kaleidoscope, transmigrates bodily into the views of others, and so, in the twinkling of an eye and with a heady rapture, turns questions inside out and flings them empty before you on the ground, like a triumphant conjuror.

This short conference betrays to the reader the relations, mutually advantageous, which subsisted between the conjuror and the tymbesteres. Nor was this all; both tymbesteres and conjuror were fortune-tellers by profession.
