Barnes's blood ran cold as he went over in his mind the pitiless method employed by Sprouse in subduing his royal victim. And the coolness, the unspeakable bravado of the man in coming direct to him with the booty!
Barnes's phrase about 'hanging the Kaiser' and plumps for the payment of the cost of the war by Germany, who rouses his audience and strikes the notes to which they are most responsive." On December 9, at the Queen's Hall, the Prime Minister avoided the subject. But from now on, the debauchery of thought and speech progressed hour by hour.
Hobson Newcome shook hands most jovially and good-naturedly, congratulated me on my marriage, and so forth, and presently Sir Barnes Newcome made his appearance, still wearing his mourning for his deceased father. Nothing could be more kind, pleasant, and cordial than Sir Barnes's manner.
Barnes, in whose ears the word "Boss" sounded obnoxious as applied to himself, brought suit for libel, and it came to trial at Syracuse on April 19, 1915. Mr. Barnes's counsel, Mr. Ivins, peered into every item of Mr. Roosevelt's political career with a microscope. Mr. Barnes had, of course, all the facts, all the traditions that his long experience at Albany could give him.
We'll start out to-day and muster the horses, and we can take Warrigal with us as far as Jonathan Barnes's place. We didn't lose time once we'd made up our minds to anything. So that night all the horses were in and drafted ready twenty-five upstanding colts, well bred, and in good condition. We expected they'd fetch a lot of money.
"Jane," he said, addressing his sister, who was seated in her usual place by the kitchen fire, "I've a letter for you, and it has come in rather an odd way;" and he then repeated to her James Barnes's story. Much puzzled, but with no great amount of curiosity or interest, Jane took the letter from her brother's hand. From whom could it have come?
Barnes's manner became like that of a curate talking to a bishop. "I say," he said, "then er will you play against Downing's to-morrow?" "Rather," said Mike. "Thanks awfully. Have some tea?" It is the curious instinct which prompts most people to rub a thing in that makes the lot of the average convert an unhappy one.
Warrington in high spirits goes up to the ladies, recapitulates the news of Barnes's lecture, recites "How doth the little busy bee," and gives a quasi-satirical comment upon that well-known poem, which bewilders Mrs.
Frederick, a still bigger man, on his right; his own trusty bamboo cane in his hand, before which poor Barnes had shrunk abashed ere now, Colonel Newcome had commonly the best of these street encounters, and frowned his nephew Barnes, and Barnes's staff, off the pavement.
Sir Barnes's conduct was in fact indefensible, though not altogether unusual the worst deduction to be drawn from it, in my opinion, was, that Clive's chance with the young lady was but a poor one, and that Sir Barnes Newcome, inclined to keep his uncle in good-humour, would therefore give him no disagreeable refusal. Now this gentleman could no more pardon a lie than he could utter one.
