Bridges the housekeeper, and Foster the butler, contrived to let her know that they could speak an if they would; and they expressed their pity of her to assist her to begin the speaking. She bowed in acceptance of Fosters offer of a glass of wine after supper, but treated him and the other two immediately as though they had been interrogating bigwigs.
Make way, make way!" pushed through the crowd more energetically than anyone, led the guests into the drawing room, and seated them on the center sofa. The bigwigs, the most respected members of the Club, beset the new arrivals.
Mark you, however, the Parthenon never reversed its judgment, nor did the other two leading journals of literary opinion, it wouldn't do for such bigwigs to confess they had blundered, you know! ... and the vituperation of the smaller fry was just the other weight in the balance which made the thing equal. "I did not write for money," interrupted Alwyn quietly.. "Nor shall I ever do so."
"On Tuesday the youngsters, only." "You might tell me a little about them." But Felix only smiled. His powers of description faltered before that task; and, proud of those powers, he did not choose to subject them to failure. Not till three o'clock that Saturday did the Bigwigs begin to come.
"It has for a century and a half been in the possession of the family of Lord Mostyn and so famous has been its history that this nobleman has kept the names of those who have wound it during the last hundred years." "All sorts of bigwigs, I suppose," put in Christopher. "A list of celebrated persons, you may be sure." "Was Ebenezer on it?" Christopher chuckled mischievously.

Barradine had always borne a good heart to her and hers. "Capital!" said Mr. Ridgett, visibly brightening. "A friend at court what's the proverb? It's not for me to let fall any remarks about wire-pulling. But naturally there's a freemasonry among the bigwigs. You take my tip, and use Mr. Barradine's interest for all it's worth."
Its members said: 'We are so wise, ourselves we'll herewith dub The Great Aristophelean Pythagoristic Club. And every night these bigwigs met, and strove with utmost pains To solve recondite problems that would baffle lesser brains. They argued and debated till the hours were small and wee; And weren't much discouraged if they didn't then agree.
Only this: that these bigwigs have determined to kill us all by poisoning our meat and drink, that they may thereby bury their shameful secret. But I declare their design aloud, so that every man may know it. This girl is Hétfalusy's grand-daughter.
This is what makes so futile the warnings of the orthodox and the boasts of the advanced about the dangerous boyhood of free thought. What we are looking at is not the boyhood of free thought; it is the old age and ultimate dissolution of free thought. It is vain for bishops and pious bigwigs to discuss what dreadful things will happen if wild scepticism runs its course. It has run its course.
