She said it had convinced her William of the sin of the Chartist agitation, and that he had firmly resolved never to meet them again. It had saved him from ruin, and made her a happy woman. "Glad to hear it has done him good, my dear," said he; "it does me good, too, to hear its effect.
He went on steadily, comparing the moderation of the women with the red-hot violence of their Chartist forbears till one half-drunken listener, having lost the thread, hiccuped out 'Can't do nothin' them women. Even after we've showed 'em 'ow! 'Has he got his history right? Vida asked through her smiling at the last sally. 'Not that it applies, of course, she was in haste to add.
"Then it is my place to ask you what you are going to do about it?" Albert was silent a minute, then raising his pale face, answered slowly: "If she loves the Duke, I shall have to ask him what are his intentions; and if, as I believe, he wishes to marry her, I shall die a Chartist!" The third gong vibrated, announcing lunch.
"Admit the possibility of any social distinction." "It is only a question of sandwiches." "George, must you be a Chartist and believe in Feargus O'Connor?" "My soul, I cannot go back on my principles, for all that the violets of your eyes have sprouted under the shadow of a venerable family-tree." "That is very prettily said. You may kiss my thumb-nail with the white spot in it for luck. No, sir.
Gerard became a marked man in the Chartist Convention, a member of a small but resolute committee. Egremont, now deeply in love with Sybil, declared his suit. "From the first moment I beheld you in the starlit arch of Marney, your image has never been absent from my consciousness. Do not reject my love; it is deep as your nature, and fervent as my own.
Wingfold, that I would have no one ordained till after forty, by which time he would know whether he had any real call or only a temptation to the church, from the base hope of an easy living." By this time Mrs. Ramshorn had had more than enough of it. The man was a leveller, a chartist, a positivist a despiser of dignities!
Whoever has studied the physiognomy of political meetings, cannot fail to have remarked a connection between democratic opinions and peculiarities of costume. At a Chartist demonstration, a lecture on Socialism, or a soirée of the Friends of Italy, there will be seen many among the audience, and a still larger ratio among the speakers, who get themselves up in a style more or less unusual. One gentleman on the platform divides his hair down the centre, instead of on one side; another brushes it back off the forehead, in the fashion known as "bringing out the intellect;" a third has so long forsworn the scissors, that his locks sweep his shoulders. A considerable sprinkling of moustaches may be observed; here and there an imperial; and occasionally some courageous breaker of conventions exhibits a full-grown beard. This nonconformity in hair is countenanced by various nonconformities in dress, shown by others of the assemblage. Bare necks, shirt-collars
She is of the stuff the old Chartist women and the women of the French Revolution were made of, and in her heart the old faith in Liberty and the people burns as brightly as though she were some young Russian student ready to give her life for the cause. When the revolution comes to America, stern masculine authority will be needed to keep her her friend Irene too from the barricades.
He drew himself up obstinately. "I can't help it. I take great pains to inform myself, then I cling to my opinions tenaciously, and in argument my temper gets the better of me. Your father, too, was hot-tempered. He came, with my consent, once to see me after your mother had left her husband to try and bring about some arrangement between us. It was the Chartist time.
He was the best looking. The youngest, six year old, has a turn for mechanics. I am not a Chartist, and I never was. I don't mean to say but what I see a good many public points to complain of, still I don't think that's the way to set them right. If I did think so, I should be a Chartist. But I don't think so, and I am not a Chartist.
