"But a man shouldn't be independent and stick to the ship at the same time. You forget the trouble you cause, and how you upset all calculations." "I hadn't thought of the calculations," said Phineas. "The fact is, Finn," said Bonteen, "you are made of clay too fine for office. I've always found it has been so with men from your country.
Bonteen how little he thought about the Duke of Omnium, how small was his respect for a great peer who took no part in politics, could not protect himself from a certain feeling of anxiety as to the aspect and gait and words of the man of whom people thought so much, of whom he had heard so often, and of whom he had seen so little.
Bonteen, with an air of great importance, whispered a word to Phineas. "He has come. He arrived exactly at seven!" "Who has come?" Phineas asked. "The Duke of Omnium!" she said, almost reprimanding him by her tone of voice for his indifference. "There has been a great doubt whether or no he would show himself at last. Lady Glencora told me that he never will pledge himself.
You are the grandest horses in the world to look at out on a prairie, but you don't like the slavery of harness." "And the sound of a whip over our shoulders sets us kicking; does it not, Ratler?" "I shall show the list to Gresham to-morrow," said Ratler, "and of course he can do as he pleases; but I don't understand this kind of thing." "Don't you be in a hurry," said Bonteen.

There were three or four there on their way on to Loughlinter, like himself, Mr. Bonteen and Mr. Ratler, with Mr. Palliser, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his wife, and there was Violet Effingham, who, however, was not going to Loughlinter.
The place there, however, has been searched, in compliance with an order from the police and by her ladyship's consent. Don't let Mr. Palliser quite kill himself. I hope the Bonteen plan answers. I never knew a man who could find more farthings in a shilling than Mr. Bonteen. Remember me very kindly to the duke, and pray enable poor Fawn to keep up his spirits.
He had determined that he would not follow Lady Laura's advice as to his selection of companions, if in doing so he should be driven even to a seeming of intrusion. He made no attempt to sit at the feet of anybody, and would stand aloof when bigger men than himself were talking, and was content to be less, as indeed he was less, than Mr. Bonteen or Mr. Ratler.
Mildmay leads our side; and if anybody leads me, he does. But I have great faith in Mr. Monk." "There's one who would go for the ballot to-morrow, if it were brought forward stoutly," said Barrington Erle to Mr. Ratler a few minutes afterwards, pointing to Phineas as he spoke. "I don't think much of that young man," said Ratler. Mr. Bonteen and Mr.
