We shall have to get frough them some day. 'It'll be very nice, said True comfortably. Bobby looked at her, and his mouth pursed itself up gravely. 'Everybodies don't get frough. Some are shut outside. 'Oh! Why? 'Because they haven't white dresses on.
'As I was not one of the everybodies myself, it will not signify. Then Mrs Folliott retreated, having, as she thought, performed her duty to Clara, and contented herself henceforth with abusing Mrs Winterfield's will in her own social circles at Taunton.
"I remember him saying that everybody in these parts knew the story," the girl added breathlessly. "Strange that it should hurt me!" mused Heyst to himself; "yet it does. I seem to be as much of a fool as those everybodies who know the story and no doubt believe it. Can you remember any more?" he addressed the girl in a grimly polite tone.
They was all black men, and they were coming to kill all the white people and burn their houses; he just told them to get in one 'normous line, and he swished, and swished, and cut off their heads just like the dandelions, and then he walked back to bed and next morning, when everybodies knew what he'd done, they all called out hurrah, and gave him a gold crown.
Billy hesitated, regarding her companion meditatively. Then, with the feeling that she had followed a blind alley to its termination, she retreated and made a fresh start. "Well, you haven't yet told me everything about everybody, you know," she hinted smilingly. "You might begin that I mean the less important everybodies, of course, now that I've heard about you."

I am going from Lord de Courcy's house with some of his own family. I have no pride in that not the least; I have more pride in my father's honest industry. But it shows what money does in this country of ours."
She seemed to know everybody in Europe, and about those everybodies the wickedest stories. The Countess of Castlewood, ordinarily a very demure, severe woman, and a stickler for the proprieties, smiled at the very worst of these anecdotes; the girls looked at one another and laughed at the maternal signal; the boys giggled and roared with especial delight at their sisters' confusion.
It did not take John long to get out and lift the little runaway up to the seat beside him, and Bobby was soon being driven home with a crestfallen unhappy face. 'Everybodies always stops me when I want to do fings! he complained to Nurse when she took him to task for being so naughty. And Nurse was so angry with him that she made him stand in the corner till teatime.
'Yes, said Bobby, interested at once; 'same as you did to Nobbles and me. They've got black bodies as well as black hearts, haven't they? Nurse's brother tells me about black peoples. But, oh! I don't want you to go. Everybodies I like goes away; and my father is such a 'normous time coming! 'Poor little Bobby!
And now, apparently that the idea has been worked out in public before everybody, by hand, as it were, that a man can be alive and interesting all over, can have at least a little touch of news about him and still be a President in this country, another man with some news in him has been allowed to us and suddenly politics throughout all America has become a totally new revealing profession, and men, instead of being selected because they were blurred personalities, the ghosts of compromises, would-be everybodies men who had not decided who they were, and who could not settle down and let people know which of their characters they had hit on at last to be really theirs, men who had no cutting edge to do things, screw-drivers trying to be chisels were revealed to our people at last as vague, mean, other-worldly persons, not fitting into our real American world at all, and hopelessly visionary and impracticable in American politics.
