There was just the ghost of a smile on Rawlins's lips. "There is a man of that name," he said, slowly, "who attained considerable notoriety in the States. People said that he was the dernière cri of refined rascality. He was supposed to be without feeling of any kind; his villainies were the theme of admiration amongst financial magnates.
I conjecture this from a dream which I had this very night, not long ago, and you seem very opportunely to have refrained from waking me. Cri. But what was this dream? Socr. A beautiful and majestic woman, clad in white garments seemed to approach me, and to call to me and say, "Socrates, three days hence you will reach fertile Pythia" . Cri. What a strange dream, Socrates! Socr.
I've only just happened. What's worth seeing?" "First and last all the way, Carminetta. It's a dream. Wonderful. By Gad, I don't know how that girl does it! Then I'd try Zigzag oh! and go to You Never Know, You Know, at the Cri. Absolutely toppin'. A perfect scream all through. The thing at Daly's' good too; but all the shows are good, though, I reckon.
Would, O Crito that the multitude could effect the greatest evils, that they might also effect the greatest good, for then it would be well. But now they can do neither; for they can make a man neither wise nor foolish; but they do whatever chances. Cri. So let it be, then.
On the contrary, it appears to me a trifle banal as I look back to it, for fashion was at the time sending Americans and English to the Tour d'Argent just as it was driving them on beautiful spring days into that horribly crowded afternoon tea place in the Rue Daunou wasn't it? or to order their new gowns at the new dressmakers in the Rue de la Paix, or to do any of the hundred and one other things that proved them up to the times, at home in Paris, initiated into le dernier cri or whatever new phrase they thought set the seal upon Parisian smartness.
And if he had chosen to establish that 'dernier cri' of modern civilization where ladies go who have 'welt-schmerz' without knowing why, a sanitarium, he might have gained back again all the money he had lost in giving his Grantham stock to Eldon Parr. Like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, he could have emptied Dalton Street of its children.
There is not in all literature a more human cri de coeur than that with which Georgiana Podsnap receives the information that a young man has professed himself to be attracted by her "Oh what a Fool he must be!" Two other figures require praise, though they are in the more tragic manner which Dickens touched from time to time in his later period.
"I was just going into the Cri let me see, on Tuesday night it was when whom should I run up against but little Tommy Soampton with a pal, and we all had drinks together. He was a quiet-looking chap, not dressed half so well as er " "As you, Ben," interposed his father proudly. "Well, I wasn't thinking of myself particularly," Mr.
But, my admirable friend, this principle which we have just discussed appears to me to be the same as it was before . And consider this, moreover, whether it still holds good with us or not, that we are not to be anxious about living but about living well. Cri. It does hold good. Socr. And does this hold good or not, that to live well and Honorable and justly are the same thing? Cri. It does.
And they are not going to back out when the romance of the new uniform wears off, remember. Now these girls will play the angel-of-mercy game for a week or two, and then jack up and confine their efforts to getting hold of a wounded officer and taking him to the theatre. It is dernier cri to take a wounded officer about with you at present.
