Next day a reaction would set in, and Carmichael would have a fit of Bohemianism, and resolve to be a man of letters. So the big books on theology would again be set aside, and he would write an article for Ferrier's Journal, that kindliest of all journals to the young author, which he would receive back in a week "with thanks."
Colleges had not begun to turn them out by the score, and the elder people were very often helpful to the younger ones. There was, it is true, a certain kind of Bohemianism among the men that proved dangerous to more than one fine, promising mind. Ben liked the bright wit and keen encounters, and the talk that ran through centuries of intellectual activity as if it was only yesterday.
It has been so misused as to bring the very word into disrepute. To us Bohemianism means the naturalism of refined people. That it may be protected from vulgarians Society prescribes conventional rules and regulations, which, like morals, change with environment. Bohemianism is the protest of naturalism against the too rigid, and, oft-times, absurd restrictions established by Society.
Hence comes the Bohemianism born of individuality and independence. It was only natural that the early San Franciscans should foregather where good cheer was to be found, and the old El Dorado House, at Portsmouth Square, was really what may be called the first Bohemian restaurant of the city.
"With regard to next Thursday," Douglas added, "I could not go, in any case, as I have an engagement." "I may tell her that?" Drexley said, looking at him keenly. "I may tell her that you cannot come on Thursday because you have an engagement?" "Certainly. You may add, if you like, that I have drifted so far into Bohemianism that I am not a fit subject for social civilities.
Literature as a profession, in England, is more certain and more progressive than with us. It is not debased with the heavy leaven of journalism. Among the many serial publications of London, ability, tact, and industry should always find a liberal market. There is less of the vagrancy of letters, Bohemianism, Mohicanism, or what not, in London than in either New York or Paris.
Dove had returned to Leipzig in a brand-new outfit, and a hard hat; his studies were coming to an end in spring, and he began to think already of casting the skin of Bohemianism. Maurice listened to him leniently even drew Dove out a little. But he kept his eye on the clock.
He was armed cap-a-pie in the fashions of suave society; no Bohemianism of garb or person, for Jasper knew he could not afford that kind of economy. On her part, Amy was much better dressed than usual, a costume suited to her position of bereaved heiress. 'What a time since we met! said Jasper, taking her delicately gloved hand and looking into her face with his most effective smile.
The literary and artistic society of Rome at this period was very brilliant. Painters, sculptors, and goldsmiths mixed with scholars and poets, passing their time alternately in the palaces of dukes and cardinals and in the lodgings of gay women. Bohemianism of the wildest type was combined with the manners of the great world.
Therefore, why blame Greek Street and those who live there? The county council are to blame that they do not cleanse the place with light. Bad or good, though whatever it may be it is part of Soho; the refuge of Bohemianism to which district Traill brought Sally Bishop on that Thursday evening.
