A generous, intelligent, public-spirited man, he has always been liberal with his purse and his time, and has done much to further educational and philanthropic schemes. Mr. Kenrick belongs to a class some cynical people consider very "cliquey."
It is, however, to be wished there were more such "cliquey" people in our midst, for they are always conspicuously at the fore in supporting by their influence and their money every good cause which has for its object the alleviation of suffering and the improvement of the people. It is true that there was one important project inaugurated some few years ago that did not enlist their sympathy.
Our globe-trotters all want to show their cleverness, or else they are merely fools. You will find it miserably dull. Nothing but bad claret and cheap champagne at the clubs, a cliquey set of English residents, and the sort of stock sport of which you tire in a month. That's what you may expect our frontier towns to be like." "And the neighbourhood?" said Lewis, with lifted eyebrows.
Thus it is that criticism, literary criticism, at any rate, is a lost art, YOU know that. And the cliquey men are generally such stupendous bigots for their own particular and restricted form of 'style. Anything new they hate, anything daring they treat with ridicule.
It is very difficult to manage a lawn tennis club successfully; much tact is required. I think it is almost impossible to prevent a club being "cliquey," and I should always advise a player who wishes to improve her game to join one which is more concerned with its tennis than its social side.
