Fashion he holds in utter contempt, nor has he the very best opinion in the world of our fashionable tailors, who are grown so rich that they hold mortgages on the very best plantations in the State, and offer themselves candidates for the Governorship. Indeed, Mr. McArthur says, one of these knights of the goose, not long since, had the pertinacity to imagine himself a great General.
While in this way the shortening of Caesar's governorship was only aimed at indirectly, the regulations issued at the same time as to the governorships sought the same object directly.
He presented a wordy memorial in 1843, complaining of having been kept out of employment for twelve years. The governorship of Ceylon had been vacant three times, the Ionian Islands four times; he had been Governor there in 1812. In other parts of the Empire appointments that he supposed he could have filled were given to others. Poor creature! He died in 1844, a broken and ruined man.
The king gave Thrond a governorship for slaying his sister, put the rest under tribute, and returned home.

He laid the paper aside, and lifting a pipe from his desk, slowly lighted it.
Here was Humphrey Crewe, sitting talking to her in the road Humphrey Crewe, whose candidacy for the governorship impugned her father's management of the Northeastern Railroads and she was unable to take the matter seriously! There must be something wrong with her, she thought. "So you're home again," Mr. Crewe observed, his eyes still bearing witness to the indubitable fact.
His eyes were inflamed with passion, his manner was impressive. He had a distinguished face, become more distinguished since his assumption of governorship, and authority had increased his personality. "A man of mark!" he said. "You mean a marked man.
