The opposition to Proportional Representation of Mr.

But his retainer took it all in the day's work, and never bore malice, continuing in his own cadging pigheaded sort of way to labour early and late to prop up his master's broken fortunes. "Lord, sir," as he once said to Harold Quaritch when the Colonel condoled with him after a violent and unjust onslaught made by the Squire in his presence, "Lord, sir, that ain't nawthing, that ain't.

You've even gone round cadging for jobs for me in the Red Cross and the Press Bureau and the Intelligence Department, and God only knows whether I'm supposed to have put you up to it." "I took care of that, Larry." "You? You'd no right to interfere with my affairs." "Hadn't I? Not after living with you seven years?"

"Then I hardly know what to suggest," she said, "unless "
