tobie

"Swift Nicks" was a much-wanted gentleman, and evidently a tobie-man with a wide range of activities.

One of them, Tobie Piedefer, went out to the Indies, leaving the pittance they had inherited to his elder brother.

Albert and Clestin roared with laughter at the wry face which Tobie made when he received this compliment from the flower girl.

Tobie does not meet his charmer until eight; so that he will have plenty of time to dine.

Tobie shook his head; the scheme evidently pleased him, but he seemed to feel that it required reflection.
