Then I threw myself on his bosom and bade him take me to her. That's how I became 33702 Private Phineas McPhail, A Company, 10th Wessex Rangers, at the remuneration of one shilling and twopence per diem." "Do you like it?" asked Doggie. Phineas rubbed the side of his thick nose thoughtfully. "There you come to the metaphysical conception of human happiness," he replied.
Each State has its Legislative Council and a number of these have given the vote to women. The movement is active for it throughout India. III, page 832. On Dec. 6, 1921, Miss Agnes McPhail was elected to the House of Commons for Southeast Grey. This Act was heralded far and wide, as it was unprecedented.
And I, finding it not abhorrent to a sophisticated and well-trained conscience, and thinking you could well afford it, extracted a thousand pounds from your fortune. My dear lad, if Phineas McPhail could return the money " Doggie broke in with a laugh. "Pray don't distress yourself, Phineas. It's not a question of money. I've as much as ever I had.
"If you'd only let me go away and look up another place, I wouldn't have to put up with all these sneers and insults." "What sneers and insults?" she asked, coming over to him. "Why, nobody 'll speak to me." "Won't Mr. McPhail and Mr. Mcllvalne?" "Yes; but not as they used to." "You can't blame 'em, Jim. You must go to work and win back their confidence." "I can't do that.
Through him the two men, the sentimental Cockney fishmonger and the wastrel Cambridge graduate, had become friends. He spent with them all his leisure time. Then one of the silly tragi-comedies of life occurred. McPhail got drunk in the crowded bar of a little public-house in the village. It was the last possible drink together of the draft and their pals.
"Have you any whisky in the house, laddie?" he asked, after the dinner things had been taken away. "No," said Doggie, "but I could easily get you some." "Pray don't," said McPhail. "If you had, I was going to ask you to be kind enough not to let your excellent landlord, whom I recognize as a butler of the old school, produce it.
Doggie almost embraced them when they met. "Laddie," said McPhail to him, as he was drinking a mahogany-coloured liquid that was known by the name of tea, out of a tin mug, and eating a hunk of bread and jam, "I don't know whether or not I'm pleased to see you.

"I'll have to give it up," he said to himself. But just as he had put the finishing touches to his hair an idea occurred to him. He flung open the door. "Laddie, I've got it. It's a woman."
He's sick." "Sick! We'll sick 'im! Tell 'im t' come out, or we'll snake 'im out by the heels." The crowd laughed. The worst elements of the saloons surrounded the two half-savage men. It was amusing to them to see the woman face them all in that way. "Where's McPhail?" Vance inquired anxiously. "Some-body find McPhail."
It must have been about one o'clock when we started, and, after half-an-hour's hard riding, we came upon the spot where McPhail had last been seen. We shouted for some time as loudly as our lungs would let us, but heard nothing, save the howl of some hungry wolf, in reply. We then followed the trail at a brisk pace for eight or nine miles, but could discover nothing of our missing friend.
