It was hot in there, and the proletariat was unkempt and smoked rank tobacco. "It's worth your while just the same, Luke," advised Thornton, in an undertone. He was conscious of the chairman's disgust, and it amused him. "They're going to have real caucuses in this State this year, they tell me. And this seems to be a nice little working model of the real thing. Better study it.
For several years Benfield appeared as the chief proprietor, as well as the chief agent, director, and controller of this system of debt. The worthy chairman of the Company has stated the claims of this single gentleman on the Nabob of Arcot as amounting to five hundred thousand pound. Possibly at the time of the chairman's state they might have been as high.
He himself did not in the least believe in Fisker, and Fisker had originated the railway. Then, would it not be best that he should take the Chairman's offer as to his own money? If he could get his £6,000 back and have done with the railway, he would certainly think himself a lucky man.
"You bet your pants I am, Andy.... An' so could you, poifectly well, if you'ld talk it up to 'em a little." "Oh, I wish to God I could. Not that I want to go home, now, but ...if I could get out of uniform." "I don't blame ye a bit, kid; well, next time, we'll know better.... Local Board Chairman's going to be my job."

The Chairman, like the rest of the crowd, had been listening to "All's Well" and did not dream that things had been going otherwise. He stood for a moment staring at the enraged Piper and then Gavin, who had just slipped into his seat in the choir, leaned forward, and touching the Chairman's elbow, strove to explain. "Mr. McDonald went to the wrong meeting," he whispered, but he got no farther.
Pray seat yourselves again. This is my last experiment." As the audience again seated itself, another mutual sigh ascended to the roof. The Professor drew the chairman's chair towards him and sat down, wiping his grimy brow. A man instantly arose and said, "I move a vote of thanks to Professor Slivers for the interesting " The Professor raised his hand.
He has sunk his chairman's wages 5s. a-week upon this accident, and intends to turn them off in Passion week, because he then can go nowhere at all. All private houses are already shut against him, and at that holy time no public place is open." We have then some letters written in a time of great public anxiety, 1745. "All our forces are come from Flanders.
William Douglas, one of the leaders of our bar, as all the chairman's hearers well knew, would explain the situation and formulate a plan for the meeting's consideration. Explanation, however, did not prove to be Mr. William Douglas's forte. Coached by that practiced diplomat, Certina Charley, he made a speech memorable chiefly for what it did not say.
He crossed his legs ower ane anither, an' put ane o' his hands in ablo the tails o' his coat; an', gettin' akinda aff his balance, he gaed spung up again' Bandy Wobster.
