It was of course sensational and tolerably sudden. It began with the Orb Deposit Bank. Under the name of that institution de Barral with the frantic obstinacy of an unimaginative man had been financing an Indian prince who was prosecuting a claim for immense sums of money against the government.
The sensational press has been pretty full lately of men's brutalities to women, and I've no intention of adding myself to the list of victims! Men ARE brutes! They were born brutes, and brutes they will remain!"
Their method represents the beating of a thousand big drums, the blare of unnumbered trumpets, the shouted blasphemies of a million raucous throats. And if, with all this noise dinning in your ear, you are persuaded to read a Yellow sheet, which is commonly pink in colour, you are grievously disappointed. The thing is not even sensational.
I admire him for it. "The new appointments are certainly of a sensational nature. Montagu becomes Secretary of State for India in Austen Chamberlain's place. Then the most startling thing of all the wonderful Sir Eric Geddes becomes First Lord of the Admiralty! That is very significant indeed.
The smile with which he accompanied the simple words might be enigmatic, it might hint of secret sorrows, but it was plain enough that these could not ever so distantly relate to a need for food.

Pulz had brought some extraordinary garish detective stories. The others contributed sensational literature with paper covers adorned lithographically.
He had passed away in the spring, full of years and honors, leaving Cliffe some money. The path was clear. As for the escapade in the Balkans, Geoffrey was, of course, tired of it. A sensational book, hurried out to meet the public appetite for horrors and the pursuance of his intrigue with Lady Kitty Ashe Mary was calmly certain that these were now his objects.
We have now seen how the politicians were turning the state religion into a tool for the accomplishment of their own selfish ends, and how the masses of the people were seeking satisfaction for their religious needs in sensational foreign worships, introduced from Asia Minor, Egypt, Syria, and Persia.
With intellect little or none, he had a vast, sensational experience, and each aspect of Barbie was working in his blood and brain. Was there ever a Cross like Barbie Cross?
