"Dynamics" more surely expressed him. It would not seem to be a very difficult feat, to be sure, to get elected to a State Legislature of five hundred which met once a year: once in ten years, indeed, might have been more appropriate for the five hundred. The town of Leith with its thousand inhabitants had one representative, and Mr. Crewe had made up his mind he was to be that representative.
Crewe was the calmest man under the roof as he saluted the Speaker, walked up to the clerk's desk, turned his back to it, and leaned both elbows on it; and he regarded the sea of faces with the identical self-possession he had exhibited when he had made his famous address on national affairs.
I've sent up the dinner-service and the ham we had cooked at our house yesterday, and Betty is coming directly with the garnish and the plate. We shall get our good Mrs. Crewe through her troubles famously. Dear tiny woman! You should have seen her lift up her hands yesterday, and pray heaven to take her before ever she should have another collation to get ready for the Bishop.
My Lord give me many orders to make for direction for the ships that are left in the Downes, giving them the greatest charge in the world to bring no passengers with them, when they come after us to Scheveling Bay, excepting Mr. Edward Montagu, Mr. Thomas Crewe, and Sir H. Wright.
Tooting, "I guess I'm a pretty shrewd observer and have had practice enough. But you know Austen Vane, don't you?" Victoria held her breath. "I've a slight acquaintance with him," replied Mr. Crewe; "I've helped him along in one or two minor legal matters. He seems to be a little well, pushing, you might say."

"What's the railrud got to do with anything in this State?" inquired Mr. Ball, craftily. "That's different," said Mr. Crewe, shortly, "I'm a corporation man myself. They've got to defend 'emselves." "Certain.
He has made the statement that he and his committee are giving to the Pingsquit bill and other measures some other measures their undivided attention. Of this I have no doubt whatever. He neglected to define the species of attention he is giving them I should define it as the kindly care which the warden of a penitentiary bestows upon his charges." Mr. Crewe was interrupted here.
Thus, with a genial and kindly remark to each, he passes from one to the other, and when the members of the press come to him for his estimate of the outcome on the morrow, he treats them with the same courtly consideration. "Estimate!" cries Mr. Crewe. "Where have your eyes been to-night, my friends? Have you seen the people coming into these headquarters?
Crewe, laying his hand on the roll of papers he had brought, "I have here bills which I have carefully drawn up and which I will leave for your consideration. One is to issue bonds for ten millions to build State roads." "Ten millions!" said Mr. Flint, and the senator whistled mildly. "Think about it," said Mr.
