"Stand off, priest of Baal!" said he, with a grim frown, and laying no reverent hand upon the surplice. "I know thee, Blackstone!

"What? on bread and cheese and Blackstone?" "Oh, Blackstone! I never heard he wasn't a well-dressed old chap." "At least you'll take half my allowance?" Dan shook his head.
Ingram's manner was a little bit bewildered, as if from his knowledge of Morgan he feared the latter might make a scene by dramatically cutting him.
