Louis, and there, of course, Bassett, as usual, was much fêted and went out a great deal, lunching with people and so on. One day he came to me, 'By-the-bye, Dennie! he said, 'I met that Mr. Marston Greyle today who sent me that romantic one-act thing. He wanted to know if I'd read it, and I had to confess that it was in your hands. Have you looked at it? I, too, had to confess I hadn't.
He seems to be up to date in his notions. I am a bit curious to find out if he can paint or if it is only tall talk, but he certainly seems bent on it. Now I must turn in, for I am dead beat. Oh, by-the-bye, Livy, I told Miss Williams that you would go round and see her to-morrow afternoon. It would really be a charity," as Olivia seemed very much astonished at this.
Her chief thought was whether she could induce him to be a mediator for her, between Lord Cashel and Lord Ballindine. During the next two days he spoke to her a good deal about her brother of whom, by-the-bye, he had really known nothing.
At all events, it makes me feel discontented." "I have settled all that with myself. I am content to look on as if it were a play. Those people have an idea of life quite different from mine. I shouldn't enjoy myself among them. You, perhaps, would." "I might," Eve replied absently. And she turned away to the other side of the square. "By-the-bye, you have a friend in Paris.
This goad, by-the-bye, is a slender stick about six feet long, with a short nail at one end, so fastened that the point is turned outwards. A bullock is not goaded from behind, but from the front between the shoulder-blades, and it generally suffices for the animal to see a man in front of him with a stick. Instead of drawing back, as might be supposed, he steps forward at his best pace.
Midwinter went into the house, and I went on to my yacht in the harbor. By-the-bye, doctor, remember you have promised to go cruising with us before we leave the Isle of Man." "Many thanks; but suppose we keep to the matter in hand. What next?" Allan hesitated. In both senses of the word his mind was at sea already. "What did you do on board the yacht?" "Oh, I know!
By-the-bye, I told your father this morning that I was going to marry you, and he didn't seem to think it possible because he had two million pounds." "Braggart!" she murmured. "When did you see my father?" "He came to my rooms in the Temple soon after I arrived this morning. He seemed to think I might know where you were.
By-the-bye, have you noticed that whenever one says 'Good, one always adds 'it's exactly what I've always said'! But if you ask me how I do it, I answer, because I'm a Forsyte." "A Forsyte! I never thought of you as one!" "A Forsyte," replied young Jolyon, "is not an uncommon animal. There are hundreds among the members of this Club.
"Ah me! It makes me sad when I think what the country is coming to. I'm told there are scores of members of Parliament who don't pronounce their h's. When I was young, a member of Parliament used to be a gentleman; and they've taken to ordaining all manner of people. It used to be the case that when you met a clergyman you met a gentleman. By-the-bye, Brooke, what do you think of Mr. Gibson?"
In these days no man can be considered a patriot or friend of the poor, who is not also a politician. It is amusing, by-the-bye, to see how the world changes its codes of respectability, and how, what is anathema in one generation, becomes trite orthodoxy in the next.
