There were, however, some exceptions. Charles Kingsley who, though his novels were not very numerous, supplemented them with all sorts of miscellaneous writing for publication, was a diligent sportsman, an active cleric, and a busy man in many kinds and ways wrote certainly good and probably many letters.
He was laughing at some article in it abusive of the English, and seemed not very downcast; but at a warning sign and look from Dicky, he became as grave as he was inwardly delighted at seeing the lady of Assiout. As Kingsley Bey and the Ambassadress shook hands, Dicky said to her: "I'll tell him, and then go."
The firm's clients were chiefly steady-going investors of the old-fashioned sort, who wished to avoid all speculative fireworks, and to deal through a firm whose habits were conformable to their own. The last Kingsley had left the firm and soon afterward died, some few years back, and now the head of the firm was Mr. Robert Stanstead Bell, a gentleman of some sixty years of age.
Disraeli's novels were the programme of a party and the defence of a cause; and even Dickens and Thackeray plant their knives deep into the social abuses of their time. Charles Kingsley was not professed novelist, nor professed man of letters. He was novelist, poet, essayist, and historian, almost by accident, or with ulterior aims.
"In all things," she said to Dr. Kingsley, "I am your obedient patient-all things but one. I will work, and I shall work." And she does work. No one understands how.
I. JOHN COUNTED INFLUENCE AND POSITION AS DIVINE GIFTS. What startling differences obtain among men Peter and John, Calvin and Melancthon, John Knox and Samuel Rutherford, Kingsley and Keble!

A pleasant letter to Miss Kingsley on her father's death puts in good evidence against the charge of grudging appreciation of contemporaries which has often been brought against Mr Arnold, and which some unguarded expressions, rather injudiciously published in other letters, may seem to confirm.
They have but little praise and reward from the partisans who are loud in indiscriminate censure and applause. That such, my dear Stanley, may be your work and your destiny, is the earnest hope of Yours affectionately, C. KINGSLEY. EVERSLEY RECTORY, July 1, 1863. GENESIS i. I. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. We have begun this Sunday to read the book of Genesis.
Was there ever such a puritan such a humbug!" I did William Edgerton only justice in my reply; "I've no doubt, Kingsley, that such are his real principles. He would have lent you thrice the money, freely, had not your object been avowed." "But what a devil sort of despotism is that!
His determination that only children of twelve years and over should work in the mill came to naught, more from the opposition of the parents themselves than that of Kingsley. These, to earn a little more for the family, did not hesitate to bring a child of eight to the mill and swear it was twelve.
