I cannot say I was well received by the Irish agent, a discourteous and surly fellow. Left orders to contact Dublin direct as soon as phone service is resumed. August 19: It seems Burlet has been interesting all sorts of radicals and crackpots in his scheme for glassenclosed cities. Local MP very reproachful; "You should have warned me, Mr Weener."
I am sorry to say though I'm afraid I could have predicted it this venture was a total loss. Burlet, unfolding the Times on my breakfastplate, coughed respectfully. "If I could speak to you at your convenience, sir?" "What is it, Burlet? Lord Arpers finally come through with a higher offer?" "Not at all, sir. I consider the question of service closed as long as you find yourself satisfied, sir."
Can her whole attitude be motivated by some sort of diseased and magnified femininity? July 22: Noticed Burlet at breakfast had left off his striped waistcoat. Such a thing has never happened before. Not surprised when he requested interview. He began by saying it had been quite some time since he put before me his plan for what he calls "vertical cities."
"Quite satisfied, Burlet." "I ad in mind the discussion of quite another matter, sir. Not relating to domestic issues." "Very well, Burlet. Come into the library after breakfast." "Very good, sir." With a world of problems on my mind I thought it would be wryly amusing to resolve whatever difficulties troubled my butler.
Promptly after I had settled myself at my desk and before I rang for my secretary, Burlet appeared in the doorway, his striped vest smoothed down over his rounded abdomen, every thin hair in place over the dome of his balding head. "Come in, Burlet. Sit down. What's on your mind?" "Thank you, sir." To my surprise he accepted my invitation and seated himself opposite me.
Assuming the construction of a vessel an assumption so far unwarranted, if I may say so, sir it would accommodate but a fraction of the affected populations. As for floating islands, they would be no more immune to airborne seeds than stationary ones." "So it was discovered long ago, Burlet." "Quite so, sir. Then, if I may say so, protection must be afforded on the spot."
"There is no 'if, Burlet. The means will be found, and shortly of that I am sure. As for temporary refuge until that time, no doubt it would be excellent, if practicable. What do you propose emigration to Mars or floating islands in the oceans?" Both of these expedients had long ago been put forth by contestants in the Intelligencer. "Journeys to other planets would not solve things, sir.
Not caring for his attitude, pointed out that it was quite outside my province as an employer to wetnurse any schemes of his; nevertheless, out of kindness I had brought it to the attention of the proper people. "But, Mr Weener, sir, people are losing their lives." "So you said before, Burlet."
Nana was so white and plump and looked so natural in a part demanding wide hips and a voluptuous mouth that she straightway won the whole house. On her account Rose Mignon was forgotten, though she was made up as a delicious baby, with a wicker-work burlet on her head and a short muslin frock and had just sighed forth Diana's plaints in a sweetly pretty voice.
There was a faintly familiar ring to the scheme. "You seem to have worked it out thoroughly, Burlet." "Polishing the plate, sir." "Polishing the plate?" "It leaves the mind free for cerebration. I ave a full set of blueprints and specifications, if youd like to inspect them, sir."
