Trollope's inimitable clergymen naturally arise to the mind in this connection. But even Mr. Trollope does not confine himself to chronicling small beer. Mr. Crawley's collision with the Bishop's wife, Mr. Melnotte dallying in the deserted banquet-room, are typical incidents, epically conceived, fitly embodying a crisis. Or again look at Thackeray.
And now, at last, the tragic shadow falls over my paper as I write. I was never passionately attached to Professor Smawl, yet I would gladly refrain from chronicling the episode that must follow if, as I have hitherto attempted, I succeed in sticking to the unornamented truth. I have said that neither Dorothy nor I believed her.
The master himself was not exempt and once we find him chronicling that he went a-hunting and caught a fox and the ague. What he says as regards the fisheries is all quite true and in general they seem to have been very productive.
There are some good things in the story, but, as a whole, it is chiefly valuable as an early example of that great danger of modern literature the influence of the "printed book" itself: and in a less degree of that forging ahead of the novel generally in public favour which we are chronicling.
He might be gone a week. Wilbur could already see the scare-heads of the daily papers the next morning, chronicling the disappearance of "One of Society's Most Popular Members." "That's well, y'r throat halyards. Here, Lilee of the Vallee, give a couple of pulls on y'r peak halyard purchase." Wilbur stared at the Captain helplessly. "No can tell, hey?" inquired Charlie from the galley.
She wrote to him daily, chronicling the little doings of the town, at times reviling it for its dullness. Dad, on numberless committees, was scarcely ever in the house, except for hurried meals. Most of the pleasant young clergy had gone. Many of the girls had gone too: Dorothy Bruce to be a probationer in a V.A.D. hospital.
The mystery of life seems simple to us who have lived most of it, and can look down through the long years. During the first year of my residence in London there happened few events worth chronicling. Shortly after my arrival Hillars disappeared. His two months' vacation stretched into twelve, and I was directed to remain in London.
Besides, as height and distance records were broken one after another, it became less and less necessary to pay for entrance to an aerodrome in order to see a flight the thing grew too big for a mere sports ground. Long before Rheims and the meeting there, aviation had grown too big for the chronicling of every individual effort.
We, in fact, have made writing a definite mode of composition, and have treated it as a form of elaborate design. The Greeks, upon the other hand, regarded writing simply as a method of chronicling. Their test was always the spoken word in its musical and metrical relations. The voice was the medium, and the ear the critic.
Vy should not you be Count Bonker?" "You prefer to travel in titled company? Well, be hanged why not! When one comes to think of it, it seems a pity that my sins should always be attributed to the middle classes." Accordingly this history has now the honorable task of chronicling the exploits of no fewer than two noblemen.
