"I have no doubt that the New York papers have some wonderful headlines 'How an Englishman catches the steamer! or 'An English diplomatist, eager to fight' and all that sort of thing. But apart from the spectacular side of it, I don't suppose they consider your adventure of national interest." "On the contrary, it is the development of a new era," Crawshay replied, with dignity.
Laurie paused in the act of lighting one of his interminable cigarettes with which he supplied the lack of a stronger stimulant, and stared at the boy curiously, then stared at the paper he held in his hand with the flaring headlines, and reaching out his hand for it began to laugh: "Well, upon my word, Kid, where'd you get this? If that isn't a joke! I wonder if Opal's seen it.
But oh, I say!" she exclaimed suddenly, as turning over a page her eyes lighted on a column, half of which was taken up with big headlines that occupied the middle of the sheet. "I say, what do you think! There has been another burglary. That makes the third within the last three weeks.
You could have knocked me down with a feather when I bought a Telegraph at Gunnersbury station this morning, and saw the headlines." "And I first heard of it at breakfast I got up rather late. I opened the Globe and there it was, staring me in the eyes. It knocked my appetite, I can assure you. What do you make of it?" "It's a mystery," replied Stephen Foster, "and I am all in the dark about it.
I knew something about the law and my own rights, and I'd expose their maladministration of justice.

Was America so immaculately free that Douglas' subordination of the negro to the welfare of the republic at large should be so severely dealt with? On the bulletin boards in great headlines, the progress of the Crimean War was heralded. The French soldiers were winning imperishable glory. The Light Brigade had died for God and the glory of England in the charge at Balaklava.
If King found cool logic eluding him, Gloria's mind was an orgy of nervous imaginings. She was back with her mother, weeping, sobbing out upon a comforting breast all of her hideous adventures; she was reading the tall headlines in the newspapers; she was commenting on them with simulated flippancy to Georgia and Ernestine; she was meeting Mr.
It was the war, I think, which made me so restless. It seemed to me that the night had not been well slept, nor the most promising day well begun until I had read the headlines in the papers. My hot wish to fight as a soldier had cooled. More and more I wanted to be of service, but in some way which seemed to me more imaginative and intelligent. But I could not hit on the way.

That was the consensus of opinion. The news was telegraphed to the New York papers and the headlines in Gotham were worth seeing. The twins winked at each other and played golf.
"I wonder what he means by that! 'My cross-examination'? It must be something rather out of the ordinary to stir John to such expression, 'Besotted vanity and colossal ignorance. Whew!"
