Clodd had no patience with Peter Hope, and told him so. "Why are there never inkstains on her fingers now? There used to be. Why does she always keep a lemon in her drawer? When did she last have her hair cut? I'll tell you if you care to know the week before he came, five months ago. She used to have it cut once a fortnight: said it tickled her neck.
"It is unusual, it certainly is unusual," Peter was bound to admit. "I distrust the man," said Clodd. "He's not our class. What is he doing here?" "I will ask him, Clodd; I will ask him straight out." "And believe whatever he tells you." "No, I shan't." "Then what's the good of asking him?" "Well, what am I to do?" demanded the bewildered Peter. "Get rid of him," suggested Clodd.
People of taste and judgment even went so far, some of them, as to buy it. Peter Hope, looking forward, saw fame and fortune coming to him. William Clodd, looking round about him, said "Doesn't it occur to you, Guv'nor, that we're getting this thing just a trifle too high class?" "What makes you think that?" demanded Peter Hope. "Our circulation, for one thing," explained Clodd.
Why does she jump on people when they call her Tommy and tell them that her name is Jane? It never used to be Jane. Maybe when you're a bit older you'll begin to notice things for yourself." Clodd jammed his hat on his head and flung himself down the stairs. Peter, slipping out a minute later, bought himself an ounce of snuff.
Heinemann, 7s. 6d. The Story of Creation, Clodd. Longmans, 3s. 6d. Buddha and Buddhism, Lillie. Clark, 3s. 6d. Shall We Understand the Bible? Williams. Black, 1s. What is Religion? Tolstoy. Free Age Press, 6d. What I Believe, Tolstoy. Free Age Press, 6d. The Life of Christ, Renan. Scott, 1s. 6d. I also recommend Herbert Spencer's Principles of Sociology and Lecky's History of European Morals.
Only by keeping very quiet and artfully pretending to be asleep could he hope to escape the ruthless Clodd. "We can do noding. Dese fogs of ours: id is de one ting dat enables the foreigner to crow over us. Keep him quiet. De dormouse id is a goot idea." That evening William Clodd mounted to the second floor of 16, Gough Square, where dwelt his friend, Peter Hope, and knocked briskly at the door.
Pincer; the residue to his friend, William Clodd, as a return for the many kindnesses that gentleman had shown him. Mr. Gladman rose, more amused than angry. "And you think you are going to pocket that one thousand to twelve hundred pounds. You really do?" he asked Mr. Clodd, who, with legs stretched out before him, sat with his hands deep in his trousers pockets. "That's the idea," admitted Mr.
It may be noted that Holyoake towards the end of his life helped to found the Rationalist Press Association, of which Mr. Edward Clodd has been for many years Chairman. I understand that more than two million copies of its cheap reprints have been sold. The advertisement tax was abolished in 1853, the stamp tax in 1855, the paper duty in 1861, and the optional duty in 1870.
But then came Tommy's great success, and that has reconciled him to all things. Do they know you are in England?" "No," explained Danvers; "we arrived only last night." Clodd called directions down the speaking-tube. "You will find hardly any change in her. One still has to keep one's eye upon her chin. She has not even lost her old habit of taking stock of people. You remember." Clodd laughed.
Clodd experienced another new sensation that of falling in his own estimation. "And yet one can see that you are clever." The mercury of Clodd's conceit shot upward to a point that in the case of anyone less physically robust might have been dangerous to health. Clodd held out his hand. "We'll pull it through, Tommy. The Guv'nor shall find the literature; you and I will make it go. I like you."
