Could such a thing really happen to the impeccably legal firm of Horniman, Birley and Craine? The use of hermetically sealed deed-boxes was one of the finer points of the Horniman system : and it was scarcely to be expected that the body of one of the firm's clients should be found dead, after some weeks, in the Ichabod Stokes Trust Box.

This chamber was twice the size of the sleeping caves, and I saw at once that originally it had served as a refectory, and also, probably, as an embalming-room for the Priests of the Dead: for I may as well explain here that these hollowed-out caves were nothing more nor less than vast catacombs in which for tens of ages the mortal remains of the great extinct race whose monuments surrounded us had been first preserved, with an art and a completeness that have never since been equalled, and then hidden away for all time. On each side of this particular rock-chamber ran a long and solid stone table, about three feet wide by three feet six in height, hewn out of the living rock, of which it had formed part, and was still attached to at the base.

All of this happened while I was walking around starving in Christiania - that strange city no one escapes from until it has left its mark on him ... I was lying awake in my attic room; a clock struck six somewhere below; it was fairly light already and people were beginning to move up and down the stairs. Over near the door, where my wall was papered with old issues of the Morning Times, I could make out a message from the Chief of Lighthouses, and just to the left of that an advertisement for fresh bread, showing a big, fat loaf: Fabian Olsen's bakery. Hunger (1890)

The Cafe Rossano was never an attractive place to look at from the outside. It presented a drab front of brick and plaster to a narrow side-street in Soho. It had a wide shop-window in which the bill of fare was displayed against a background of ecru net. The door was uninviting. Major Kettering-Bevis looked at it very dubiously as Professor Bastion led him towards it. The Professor was doubtful himself. This was his first experience of the Cafe Rossano. He had heard of it, but had never been disposed to pay it a visit. Death Takes The Stage (1934)

The stranger, without ceasing to fix on him that look which pierces to the bottom of the conscience, said in a grave firm voice,- " Monsieur Thenardier, a man does not require a passport to go four leagues from Paris; and if I take Cosette away, I take her away, that is all. You will not know my name, my residence, or where she is, and it is my intention that she shall never see you again. I break the string that she has round her foot, and away she flies: does that suit you ? yes or no ? " Les Miserables (1862)

Lurgan Sahib did not use as direct speech, but his advice tallied with Mahbub's ; and the upshot was good for Kim. He knew better now than to leave Lucknow city in native garb, and if Mahbub were anywhere within reach of a letter, it was to Mabub's camp he headed, and made his change under the Pathan's wary eye. Could the little Survey paint-box that he used for map-tinting in term-time have found a tongue to tell of holiday doings, he might have been expelled.Once Mahbub and he went together as far as the beautiful city of Bombay, with three truck-loads of tram-horses, and Mabub nearly melted when Kim proposed a sail in a dhow across the Indian Ocean to buy Gulf Arabs, which , he understood from a hanger-on of the dealer Abdul Rahman, fetched better prices than mere Kabulis.

Kein Traum, der heute früh Glock achte noch Zu solchem Glücke sich versteigen durfte. WALTER.

Inzwischen ich, was meinen Gruß betrifft, Ich meins von Herzen gut, schon wenn ich komme. Das Obertribunal in Utrecht will Die Rechtspfleg auf dem platten Land verbessern, Die mangelhaft von mancher Seite scheint, Und strenge Weisung hat der Mißbrauch zu erwarten. Doch mein Geschäft auf dieser Reis ist noch Ein strenges nicht, sehn soll ich bloß, nicht strafen, Und find ich gleich nicht alles, wie es soll, Ich freue mich, wenn es erträglich ist. ADAM. Fürwahr, so edle Denkart muß man loben. Euer Gnaden werden hie und da, nicht zweifl' ich, Den alten Brauch im Recht zu tadeln wissen; Und wenn er in den Niederlanden gleich Seit Kaiser Karl dem fünften schon besteht: Was läßt sich in Gedanken nicht erfinden? Die Welt, sagt unser Sprichwort, wird stets klüger,
