I remembered my mother in Wales rocking her baby's cradle and singing all day long with a voice vibrant with joy. If capitalism had crushed her heart she hadn't heard about it. When the lodge excursion train had passed on toward the convention city, I hopped a freight and bade Comrade Bannerman goodby.
Campbell Bannerman, Sir W. Hart Dyke, Mr. W.H. Smith, Mr. J. Morley, Sir M. Hicks-Beach, and Mr. A. Balfour. A few samples will suffice.
"I want you not to touch it, O'Hagan. Under penalty of my extreme displeasure, don't lay a finger on it till I give you permission. Don't dare to dust it. Do you understand?" "Yissor. Very good, Mr. Maitland." Bannerman pushed back his chair a few inches, shifting position the better to benefit of a faint air that fanned in through the open window.
Maitland, twisting the sticky stem of a liqueur glass between thumb and forefinger, sat in patient waiting for the lawyer to speak. But Bannerman was in no hurry; his mood was rather one contemplative and genial. And Maitland was famous in his day as one thoroughly conversant with the art of ordering a dinner.
"But when?" "Would it suit you if I ran out to-night?" Maitland demanded so abruptly that Bannerman was disconcerted. "I er ask nothing better." "I'll bring them in town to-morrow. You arrange about the vault and advise me, will you, like a good fellow?" "Bless my soul! I never dreamed that you would be so so " "Amenable to discipline?"
When asked what he would advise ardent suffragists to do he told them to "go on pestering." Pankhurst. An unforeseen misfortune was the death in 1908 of Sir H. C. Bannerman and the fact that his successor was our principal opponent in the Government, Mr. Asquith. It was not very long before he revealed the line of his attack upon the enfranchisement of women.
That step would be to learn how labor can enrich itself and do away with strikes and unemployment. That is a question that still fascinates me. I did not care to dodge it and become a manufacturer. I am the kind of fellow who, when he takes hold of a question, never lets go. The picture of Comrade Bannerman shaking his fist at the trainload of "plutes" lingered with me.
There they sit, in almost perfect silence, receiving their goods, and making payment in gold-dust and ivory. Towards us Mr. Bannerman showed himself most hospitable, yet in a perfectly unostentatious manner. Accra is the land of plenty in Africa. Beef, mutton, turkeys and chickens abound; and its supply of European necessaries and luxuries is unequalled.
Doris Kennedy, May Firth, and Ella Johnson, the three girls who shared Patty's bedroom, made a separate little circle with Beatrice Wynne, while Cissie Gardiner and Maggie Woodhall were such bosom friends that they did not want anybody else's society. Patty found the liking she had taken to Jean Bannerman increased on further acquaintance.
"That won't amuse her much," I ventured to remark. "She's not coming to be amused," said Mrs. Hilary severely. "All right; I'll come," said I, taking my hat. "Here's the note for Miss Bannerman," said Mrs. Hilary. That sort of thing never surprises me. I looked at the letter and read "Miss M. E. Bannerman." "M. E." stood for "Maud Elizabeth." I put my hat back on the table.
