This he often said to himself; and he said as often that Lady Lufton certainly had a hankering after such a judgement-seat. Of whom generally did prime ministers and official bigwigs think it expedient to make bishops and deans?
Diving suddenly into the recesses of something, she produced an exiguous round silver box. Prizing it open, she looked over her shoulder at the Bigwigs, then placed her little finger on the contents of the little box, and said very softly: "You just take the merest touch, and you put it on like that, and it keeps them together beautifully. Let me! Nobody'll see!"
Didn't mind the fat purses of the bigwigs and a little bread and water and the devil and his standpipe! But now they're singing another tune: That man! Why, he's been punished for theft! End of him. No one asks why; they've become big men, you see. In olden days I was always called Merry Jacob, and the fellows liked to be in my shift. Do you know what they call me now? Thieving Jacob.
So, says I, thank you, but I won't take any, whereupon every man jack of them fell fiercely upon me. 'Oh, ho! they cried, 'so you too have already been primed what to drink and what not to drink, eh? So they have told you that the brandy has been poisoned, eh? "'What do you mean? I cried. "'The brandy is poisoned. "'Who has poisoned it? "'Who but the bigwigs themselves.
Far better was it, in Gordon's opinion, to ruffle the self-esteem of a few bigwigs, than to allow two great nations to drift into a war which, after an enormous sacrifice of life and much suffering, must have ended fatally for the Chinese, who were quite unable to meet the trained hordes of Russia.
Aren't they there? For every laborer who's a slave Dad says there are five town workers who are just as much slaves! And all those Bigwigs with their great houses, and their talk, and their interest in keeping things where they are! Aren't they there? I don't I can't believe anything much can happen, or be changed. Oh! I shall never see visions, and dream dreams! And from her heart she sighed.
P. she told you her father lived at Darenth in Essex?" "No, Mo, that's not the name. Durrant was the name she said." Aunt M'riar was straining at a gnat. However, solemn bigwigs have done that before now. "Nigh enough for most folks," said Uncle Mo. "Just you think a bit and see what she said her father's name was." "She never said his name, Mo.
Such a horse-play for the benefit of the political gallery gods would be contemptuously ignored by the ICONOCLAST were not the Advertiser's betters indulging in the same unmitigated bosh. Our Alabama contemporary is but an anile echo of the New York Tribune, a faint adumbration of the Chicago Inter-Ocean. The bigwigs cut out the work for the journalistic wiggletails.
Who is to settle what is good or bad, saleable or otherwise? Will you give the buyer leave, in fine, to purchase or not? Why, sir, when Johnson sate behind the screen at Saint John's Gate, and took his dinner apart, because he was too shabby and poor to join the literary bigwigs who were regaling themselves, round Mr. Cave's best table-cloth, the tradesman was doing him no wrong.
In his reverent attitude he was like Linnæus, who fell on his knees on first beholding the English gorse in full flower, and thanked Heaven that such a moment of divine joy was his. Muller was a Jena man, too, and he gave Haeckel letters to the bigwigs. The wise men of Jena discovered that there was merit in Haeckel's discoveries.
