Gladstone was the most popular man of the hour; in France, still calling itself a republic, all parties except the reduced ranks of the advanced liberals were very angry not with King Bomba, but with his accuser. A harmless cousin of Mr. Gladstone was blackballed in a club in Paris on account of the name he bore.
He was very nearly blackballed at a West End club of which his birth and social position fully entitled him to become a member, and it was said that on one occasion, when he was brought by a friend into the smoking-room of the Churchill, the Duke of Berwick and another gentleman got up in a marked manner and went out.
And it was me who got you into this club, Lightfoot, as you very well know, though I am an old cove, and they would have blackballed you without me, as sure as your name is Frederic." "I know they would, Mr. Morgan," said the other, with much humility. "Well, then, don't call me an old cove, sir.
He will be sure to go on board of the yacht if we are there, for he is always poking his nose in where he is not wanted." Donald, who was at the oars, pulled back to the shore. The Juno ran close up to the Maud, tacked, and stood up the bay. "He is gone," said Rodman. "I don't want him asking me why he was blackballed. He is an intolerable spoony."
You know, Hess is crazy to get her finger into every pie; but she would never come straight out and ask to join our club." "She'd be blackballed," said Dora tartly. "I believe she would," agreed her twin. Bobby chuckled. "There would be two black beans against her, and no mistake." "What did you say to Lil, Clara?" demanded Laura thoughtfully. "Not a word." "How was that?" Jess asked.
It was said of old that every door opens to a golden key, but this is not altogether true. The honest working girl shuns the society of the wealthy wanton, and the stupid ignoramus, whatsoever his fortune, is accorded no seat at the symposiac is blackballed by the brotherhood of brains. Imagine Goethe giving Richter the "marble heart" or Byron snubbing Burns because of his lowly birth!
Take a harp." "But I applied for membership I was blackballed." "Take two harps." The Catted Anarchist An Anarchist Orator who had been struck in the face with a Dead Cat by some Respector of Law to him unknown, had the Dead Cat arrested and taken before a Magistrate. "Why do you appeal to the law?" said the Magistrate "You who go in for the abolition of law."
And it was me who got you into this Club, Lightfoot, as you very well know, though I am an old cove, and they would have blackballed you without me as sure as your name is Frederic." "I know they would, Mr. Morgan," said the other, with much humility. "Well, then, don't call me an old cove, sir.
He knew from reliable sources that his name was coming up to be voted on, and it was not very flattering to realize that he had been blackballed. From an eager interest in all Thessalonian doings his feeling changed to bitter resentment against the society. Just now the Thessalonian play was the topic of the hour, and the very mention of it almost made him ill.
To put the matter briefly and plainly, Captain Kidd was smarting under the indignity which the club had recently put upon him. He had been unanimously blackballed, even his proposer and seconder, who had been browbeaten into nominating him for membership, voting against him.
