Stubbs had now jumped to his feet, and one of the animals had succeeded in crawling to his shoulder, where it was making desperate efforts to reach the war correspondent's eyes with its claws. Stubbs protected his eyes with one upraised arm, and groped blindly for the cat.
I replied, "I am sorry to inform you that you are suspended from correspondent's privileges and from the use of the telegraph until further orders." "And what for pray?" "I don't just exactly know," I answered, "but I think it has something to do with sending you 'six more jubilee books' from Canada."
Warming to the task in recounting the several steps of the transaction, I had not scrupled to set off my moderation by a Rembrandtish wash of shadow furnished by my correspondent's double-dealing, and to cast my civility into relief by adroit quotations from his impertinent pages.
To this insinuation Balzac gave no credence; he naturally found it easy to believe in one more enthusiastic foreign admirer, and he was seriously troubled by the fact that the first dizain of the "Contes Drolatiques," which certainly would not satisfy his correspondent's views on the lofty mission of womanhood, was likely to appear shortly.
Your correspondent's remarks with reference to the colour of the robe are, upon the whole, useful, purple and scarlet being synonymous terms; preponderance of mention, rests though with the former. Pictures cannot be considered too much as books; such truth, Art, by the concurrence of testimony, has manifested in its destiny from time immemorial, confirming afresh benefits on man.
That, however, is not the main point to which I desire just now to direct attention. I want rather to suggest an underlying fallacy of all so-called individualists in dealing with schemes of so-called Socialism for to me your Socialist is the true and only individualist. My correspondent's argument is written from the standpoint of the class in which women have or may have money.
She continued, because Peter had denied that she was concerned in it. " Whose fault ? " "I really don't know. It was all rather confusing," lied Peter, tranquilly. Coleman and the professor decided to accept a plan of the correspondent's dragoman to start soon on the first stage of the journey to Athens. The dragoman had said that he had found two large carriages rentable.
About ten days ago I had a letter from a syndicate in the North asking me if I could write for them a weekly article not a London correspondent's news-letter but a series of comments on the important subjects of the day, outside politics. Outside politics, of course; for I dare say they will supply this article to sixty or eighty country papers. Very well.
Again they moved forward. Crittenden's Lieutenant dropped wounded. "Go on," he cried, "damn it, go on!" Grafton helped to carry him back, stepping out into the open for him, and Crittenden saw a bullet lick up the wet earth between the correspondent's feet. Forward again! It was a call for volunteers to advance and cut the wires.
But I make no claim to your special correspondent's faculty for getting an "inside" view of things, and I have hardly more than a pictorial impression of the Pope's illness and of the discussion of the Law of the Convents.
