"I can show you when we go home, Ben," said his uncle, "an entertaining paper upon such shadows."* *Vide "Priestley's History of Vision," chapter on coloured shadows. "Hark!" cried Ben, "did you hear that noise?"
Jill had finished the first of many evening meals she was to partake of in the desert, and was lying on a heap of cushions listening to the clink of brass coffee utensils and porcelain cups, whilst sniffing appreciatively the aroma of Eastern coffee Easternly made, which is totally different to that which permeates the dim recesses draped with tinselled dusty hangings, and cluttered with Eastern stools and tables inlaid with mother o' pearl made in Birmingham, in the ubiquitous Oriental Cafe at which we meet the rest of us at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning at the seaside; nor does it resemble in the slightest that which is oilily poured forth in London town by the fat, oily, so-called "Son of the Crescent" who, wearing fez and baggy trousers, in some caravanserai West, Sou'-west or Nor'-west, has unfailingly been chief coffee-maker to the late Sultan, vide anyway the hotel advertisements.

Vide Indian stories." "We have a crate of queer things from Calcutta." "Are you going to study law with Judge Ryder?" Mr. Bancroft inquired. "I think so." Then Helen pushed back her chair; and Mrs. Bancroft stood in her place long enough for us to reach the parlor door. "And I must go to the office," Mr. Bancroft said, so we had the parlor to ourselves; but Mr.
Ah! truly, on trouve au fond de tout le vide et le neant!" "Mr. Murray, if you insist upon your bitter Osher smile, why shut your eyes to the palpable analogy suggested? Human life is as fair and tempting as the fruit of 'Ain Jidy, till stung and poisoned by the Tenthredo of sin."
