"Say," growled Hogan, Judge Bender's private attendant, who was the first to run the gantlet, "those Chinks are enough to give you the Willies!

Even dignified Judge Bender himself as he stalked along the hall, preceded by two police officers, was not immune from a slight feeling of uncanniness, and he instinctively drew his robe round his legs that it might not come into contact with those curious slippers with felt soles that protruded across the marble slabs.

" "Well, make sure none of 'em is armed," ordered Judge Bender.

When Judge Bender entered the court room it was, in spite of his injunction, full of blue blouses.

"Quite so!" ruled Judge Bender sternly.

The overtures of the new emperor were rejected with scorn; and, as might be expected from this combination of bigotry and rashness, the imperial troops under General Bender marched quietly to the conquest of the whole country; town after town opening their gates, while Vander Noot and his partisans betook themselves to rapid and disgraceful flight.

You see, Andy, it's on an unusually big bender right now, which makes it doubly hard to fight it.
