A vigorous campaign was conducted throughout the country, especially in Lancashire, and arrangements were made for a monster demonstration in Belfast, which should serve both as a counter-blast to the Churchill fiasco, and for enabling English and Scottish Unionists to test for themselves the temper of the Ulster resistance.
It merely notes, apropos of Miss Dickenson's last words, that the first person plural pronoun, used as a dual by a lady to a gentleman, sometimes makes hay of the thirdness of their respective persons singular. But if it had done so, this time, "Pooh!" was a weak counter-blast against its influence.
'B-b-but with our party, as your brother said, "heading straight for a vast electoral disaster," and the Liberals 'If I decide on a counter-blast, I shall simply telegraph to headquarters. Good-bye. 'Oh! A a good-bye. With a gesture of 'the country's going to the dogs, Farnborough opened the doors and closed them behind him. Jean had rung the bell.
Pope Gregory's counter-blast to this policy is contained in his addition to the Canon Law known as his Decretals . By these the clergy were declared entirely exempt from secular taxation and jurisdiction, on the ground that all secular law was subordinate to the law of the Church, and that the duty of the secular power was to carry out the commands of the Church.
"Take another glass of sherry," said Sir Richard, pushing the decanter towards the young man; "it will stir your brain and enable you to see your way more clearly through this knotty point." "No more, thank you, Sir Richard." "Come, come fill your glass," said the knight; "you and I must set an example of moderate drinking to Brisbane, as a counter-blast to his Blue-Ribbonism."
In England the counter-blast upset Lord Palmerston's Government, and in Piedmont the dynasty itself might have been endangered had not Victor Emmanuel's sense of personal dignity preserved him from bending to the rod of imperial displeasure.
Ech! it was worthy o' that auld tyrant, Jamie, to write his counter-blast to the poor man's freen! The hypocrite! to gang preaching the virtues o' evil-savoured smoke 'ad daemones abigendos, and then rail again tobacco, as if it was no as gude for the purpose as auld rags and horn shavings!"
And they duped you, they fooled you to the very top of their bent, monsieur." Garnache dropped the servant's hand and stood back a pace. That counter-blast of passion and that plain speaking from a quarter so unexpected served, in part at least, to sober him.
The Democrats issued the minority report as a counter-blast, and also circulated three hundred thousand copies of Douglas's 12th of March report, which was held to be campaign material of the first order. Douglas himself paid for one-third of these out of his own pocket. No one could accuse him of sulking in his tent.
Perhaps the delight expressed in its annual reports in the exposure of impostors was a shade too hearty at any rate one can see therein cause sufficient for Lamb's counter-blast. Lamb was not the only critic of Mr. Bodkin's zeal. Hood, in the Odes and Addresses, published in 1825, included a remonstrance to Mr. Bodkin.
