Does she read Blue-books?" "I will ask her if you wish." "Nay, it is scarcely worth while. During my rambles abroad I saw but few English newspapers. I did, however, learn that George had won his election. Has he yet spoken in Parliament?" "Yes; he moved the answer to the Address this session, and was much complimented on the excellent tone and taste of his speech.
It was not deemed consistent with liberty by those republicans to put chains on the press because its utterances might occasionally be distasteful to magistrates. The writers, printers, and sellers of the "blue-books" remained unpunished and snapped their fingers at the placard.
Motioned rather than announced by a tall Scotch servant woman, the only domestic I ever remember seeing there, we made our way up a narrow staircase past the open door of a small study packed with blue-books, to discover Altiora Bailey receiving before the fireplace in her drawing-room.
The effigies on our coins, the signs over shops, the figures that fill every ledger, the coats of arms outside the carriage panel, and the placards inside the omnibus, are, in common with dolls, blue-books, paper-hangings, lineally descended from the rude sculpture-paintings in which the Egyptians represented the triumphs and worship of their god-kings.
To forget perplexity in the amusement of a mystification, he brought down his essay, concealing it ingeniously within a review flanked by blue-books, and, when Lord Ormersfield was taking out a pair of spectacles with the reluctance of a man not yet accustomed to them, he asked him if he would like to hear an article on the Police question.
Ay, and patient industry to read blue-books, and a ready hand and brain to write diplomatic notes for him, off which the mind glided as from a ball of ice. In thirty years she never once mentioned the servants to him. "Oh, let eternal honor crown her name!" It was only a little bit of heel that Dard had left in Prussia. And so the army lost him. Jacintha shone as a landlady, and custom flowed in.
Nothing short of one of your rooms here" he addressed Tatham, with a laughing gesture toward the house "comparable to his sitting-room. Priceless things in it! And close by, an excellent office, with room for two clerks one already at work piles of blue-books, pamphlets, heavens knows what!
And when you are older, you may see it for yourself in the Registrar-General's reports, blue-books, pamphlets, and so on, without end." "But why do not people stop such a horrible loss of life?"
Those who say that "It can't be done," are probably not aware that many of the working classes are in the receipt of incomes considerably larger than those of professional men. That this is the case, is not, by any means, a secret. It is published in blue-books, it is given in evidence before parliamentary committees, it is reported in newspapers.
But he had the gift of speech, and by an effort could absorb himself as completely in blue-books as in the pages of historian or poet. An hour such as this was the first of his rewards. Two there were in this assembly who turned their eyes upon him with adoration which could scarcely have fallen short of Wilfrid's utmost demands. They were his cousins, Minnie and Patty Rossall.
