We very soon bagged three or four brace a-piece of jungle fowl and pea fowl, as well as some black and red partridges, a hare, some pigeons, and two little mouse deer; when in a grassy hollow before us, surrounded by jungle, and interspersed with bushes of the long cockspur thorn, we saw a herd of fifty or more deer feeding quietly and not aware of our approach.
He hurried back to Cockspur Street and going into the laboratory, threw himself into a chair and thought.
And for the rest of the way to the steamer, Dag Daughtry grinned and chuckled at sight of his plunder and at sight of Kwaque, who fantastically titubated and ambled along, barrel-like, on his pipe-stems.

She turned away from it in disgust, yet came back to have another look and yet another. God knows why! It fascinated her. Finally she left it, fully resolved to let its odious original go to her fate without a warning. Soon after her return to the Hall in Cockspur Street, she was sent for by Hamar. "Didn't I tell you," he said, "that you were on no account to encourage Mr. Kelson?" "You did!"
"The Modern Sorcery Company Ltd., in their new premises in Cockspur Street, gave the most remarkable display of Phenomena it has ever yet fallen to our lot to report.
