'In Brooks's, said Mrs Squeers, pondering. 'There's Jennings, little Bolder, Graymarsh, and what's his name. 'So there is, rejoined Squeers. 'Yes! Brooks is full. 'Full! thought Nicholas. 'I should think he was. 'There's a place somewhere, I know, said Squeers; 'but I can't at this moment call to mind where it is. However, we'll have that all settled tomorrow. Good-night, Nickleby.
Kennedy has just been saying that not a single available vote has been missed on our side. He has just come from Brooks's, and that seems to be what they say there." So Mr. Kennedy also was a member of Brooks's!
"What say you to that, gentlemen?" he cried. "Egad, I'll be sworn he deserves credit, an arrant young spark out of the Colonies, scarce turned nineteen, defeating a duke of the realm on horseback, and preaching the gospel of 'no taxation' at Brooks's Club! Nor the favour of Sandwich or March could turn him from his principles."
"Do you think the house will hold you both?" His Lordship came in as we were sitting down, bursting with some news, and he could hardly wait to congratulate Dolly on her recovery before he delivered it. "Why, Richard," says the dog, "what do you think some wag has done now? They believe at Brooks's 'twas that jackanapes of a parson, Dr. Warner, who was there yesterday with March."
"And will you leave London altogether?" Violet asked. "Altogether. I shall stick to one club, Brooks's; but I shall take my name off all the others." "What a deuce of a nuisance!" said Lord Chiltern. "I have no doubt you will be very happy," said Violet; "and you'll be a Lord Chancellor in no time. But you won't go quite yet." "Next Sunday." "You will return.
"Lord Grey terrific: it was the vengeance of a life concentrated into one hour; it has shaken the Ministry fearfully." "Humph!" said Benson, rising; "I shall go to Brooks's and hear more." "And I too," said Lord Paul.
This sincere but indiscreet radical, who had once enjoyed a popularity similar to that of Wilkes as a political martyr, became estranged from his party when it accepted O'Connell as an auxiliary, if not as an ally. Having failed in procuring the exclusion of the great Irish demagogue from Brooks's club, in 1835, he withdrew his own name.
Captain Brooks's troop, owing to the continued illness of its commander, would be temporarily withdrawn and sent back to Emory to replace it. Marshall Dean did not know whether to be glad or sorry. Soldier from top to toe, he was keenly enjoying the command of his troop. He gloried in mountain scouting, and was in his element when astride a spirited horse.
When he desired to please, his conversation and the expression of his face must have moved a temperament of stone itself. None ever had more devoted friends or more ardent admirers. They saw his faults, which he laid bare before them, but they settled his debts again and again, vast sums which he lost at Newmarket and at Brooks's.
'Well, said his Lordship, with a chuckle, 'I haven't paid my subscription to Brooks's yet, so I'll hand it over to you, and he gave me a cheque for 500 pounds. The balance was obtained through Mr. Ellice from the patronage Secretary to the Treasury.
