The members, when they write letters at the Club, still use sand to blot the ink. The Grill enjoys the distinction of having blackballed, without political prejudice, a Prime Minister of each party. At the same sitting at which one of these fell, it elected, on account of his brogue and his bulls, Quiller, Q. C., who was then a penniless barrister.
It is five o'clock, the noon in Pall Mall. "Here's little Newcome coming," says Mr. Horace Fogey. "He and the muffin-man generally make their appearance in public together." "Dashed little prig," says Sir Thomas de Boots, "why the dash did they ever let him in here? If I hadn't been in India, by dash he should have been blackballed twenty times over, by dash."
To these and other amusements the obsequious old gentleman kindly offered to conduct Lady Clavering, and was also ready to make himself useful to the baronet in any way agreeable to the latter. In spite of his present station and fortune, the world persisted in looking rather coldly upon Clavering, and strange suspicious rumors followed him about. He was blackballed at two clubs in succession.
So I'll forgive you, Eustace, but don't you ever let it happen again, or I might forget myself so far as to have you blackballed from all of the London clubs you belong to," added the Earl, shaking his finger at Eustace.
He had been heard to assert that, for real quiet comfort, there was not a club in London equal to it; but his hearers were not aware that in past days he had been blackballed at the T and the G . These were accidents which Lopez had a gift of keeping in the background.

Sharpe was blackballed at the Idlers' Club with cheerful unanimity, and Bobby figuratively squared his shoulders to receive the blow that he was convinced must certainly fall.
Kenneth, fighting off the howling fellows who would have perched him on their shoulders, caught a glimpse of his father's amused face, and broke for the stairway. "I'm awfully sorry," said Ned Gaynor earnestly, "but it isn't as though you had been blackballed, Jerry." "I don't see what difference it makes," replied Gerald Hutton disconsolately. "I don't get taken in, do I?"

This is so well known, that the club has twice blackballed him, though every indulgence was shown to him as my relative. People came to me and said "Now really, President, we would do much to serve a relative of yours. But still, what can be said? You know yourself that he'll disgrace us.
As it is apparent from the last section that there can be no reconsideration by a lodge of a rejected petition, the question will naturally arise, how an error committed by a lodge, in the rejection of a worthy applicant, is to be corrected, or how such a candidate, when once rejected, is ever to make a second trial, for it is, of course, admitted, that circumstances may occur in which a candidate who had been once blackballed might, on a renewal of his petition, be found worthy of admission.
