The Austrian attache, Mr. Hulsemann, is altogether rabid over the matter. He said to me privately " "Then most improperly!" broke in the tall dark man. "Improperly, but none the less, insistently, he said that his government will not tolerate her reception here. He charges her with machinations in Europe, under cover of President Taylor's embassy of investigation into Hungarian affairs.
The arguments in this are of permanent force; but if the reader will compare it, or Jeremy Taylor's Liberty of Prophesying, with Locke's Letters on Toleration, he will see how much clearer and more convincing is the modern method of discussion, introduced by writers like Hobbes and Locke and Dryden. Under the Protectorate Milton was appointed Latin Secretary to the Council of State.

"No one's going to have him; no one never," she continued, as she rose to her feet and walked up and down the room, with her face bent over the child she held so closely to her.

Frank Taylor's kind to you and all that sort of thing, isn't he?" "Very. But don't cross-examine me, there's a dear."

Another visitor was Richard Kimball, the lawyer-author, then enthusiastically putting the finishing touches to St. Leger. These days of changing fortunes were the most romantic of Taylor's career. Many other places in the city are associated with him, one a house near Washington Square, where he lived for some years and wrote among other things the Poems of the Orient.
