colleague

On the ninth of January, now four days ago, I received by the evening delivery a registered envelope, addressed in the hand of my colleague and old school companion, Henry Jekyll.

"I am sorry," said the Owl, "to have to contradict the Crow, my famous friend and colleague. To my mind this Marionette is alive; but if, by any evil chance, he were not, then that would be a sure sign that he is wholly dead!"

Turner reckoned that it took him a term to lick boys into shape after they had been in the Upper Third; and now and then he let fall a sly hint, which showed that he knew perfectly what went on in his colleague's form.

Their skilled colleague soon satisfied them that they were wrong.

'Well, master,' said Blathers, entering the room followed by his colleague, and making the door fast, before he said any more.

"You assert the prior marriage," he said to his colleague. "It rests with you to begin."

The president was sufficiently well known, however, for all to be assured that he would not put his colleagues to discomfort without some very strong motive.
