He was superintendent of the Sunday school. He was the storm-center of every altruistic effort in the town the greatest man there, because the most serviceable, tho he worked every day full time with his pick at his bread-and-butter job. The great people are so busy serving that they have little time to strut and pose in the show places. Few of them are "prominent clubmen."
But the best account of the Clubmen is to be found in a letter from Fairfax to the committee of both kingdoms, preserved in the Journals of the Lords, vii. 184.
Their state of organization was lamentably deficient; anticipating a month of quiet preparation, they had neglected to procure arms up to the date of O'Brien's arrival, and a few weeks would at least be required to complete their arrangements. In Kilkenny, for instance, not one in every eight of the clubmen possessed a musket, and even their supply of pikes was miserably small.
Clever little thing, she knows enough to admit it prettily every now and then, so there is nothing to badger her about. She has even trained Gay to talk of it occasionally. She has done wonders for him; one of the clubmen is backing him to go into the interior-decorating business. Of course he will make good because everyone will feel morally obliged to go there.
This was the beginning of the great macintosh epoch, by-product of the war, when the paucity of the means of vehicular locomotion had rendered macintoshes permissible, even for women with pretensions to smartness; and at intervals stylish girls on their way home from unaccustomed overtime, passed the doors in transparent macintoshes of pink, yellow or green, as scornful as military officers of the effeminate umbrella, whose use was being confined to clubmen and old dowdies.

His wife, everything." They had their own cynical philosophy. One of them had no faith in promises of men. "They are types that do not suit me. They wear their hearts on their hands and on their mouths.
The Projectile was not on the bottom; it could not even have got to the bottom. Marston said it all in a few words to the Captain, as the Clubmen stepped on deck a few hours later: "Barbican is floating midway in the depths of the Pacific, like Mahomet in his coffin!"
Treated in a romantic spirit, the work was not unlike novel or play-writing; and, on paper, I established interesting relations with quite a number of rural clergymen, country squires, London clubmen, a don or two, and some lady correspondents.
A sudden jerk might snap the chains; an incautious twist might put a kink on the air tube; besides, it was well known that the sudden removal of heavy pressure resulting from rapid ascent, is attended by very disagreeable sensations, which have sometimes even proved fatal. It was near midnight when the Clubmen were lifted out of the manhole.
Mr. Among other matters of interest, like other arrivals in the South Seas, he had a wreck to announce. The John T. Richards, it appeared, had met the fate of other island schooners. "Dickinson piled her up on Palmerston Island," Dodd announced. "Who were the owners?" inquired one of the clubmen. "O, the usual parties!" returned Loudon, "Capsicum and Co."
