The hypocrisy of simulating manners he is not used to, is not more subversive of his self-respect, than his imitation is poor, vulgar, and unmeaning. Curran said that a corporation was, a “thing that had neither a body to be kicked, nor a soul to be damned.” And, verily, I begin to think that masses of men are even more contemptible than individuals.
Perkins thought he had got some important information here, and took it to Lieutenant Gannet, with the result that inquiry was made through all the American Forces for men known as "Strawberry" and "Wild Bill". But these men could not be found; as it happened, "Wild Bill" had taken refuge in a place to which not even the army intelligence service can penetrate, and "Strawberry" Curran was just then being tried with a bunch of other "wobblies" in California and subjected to much the same kind of treatment as Jimmie was receiving in Archangel.
Knowing that the portraits stood for the same youth, Arthur could trace a resemblance in the separate features, but in the ensemble there was no likeness. "The young fellow went from college to Africa," said Curran, "where he explored the wilderness for two years. This photograph was taken on his return from an expedition.
If the Senator did not care to give his word, there would be no talk, but his relative might also be exposed to danger. The Senator was always gracious with Curran. "Do you know anything about Arthur's history in California?" and his lazy eyes noted every change in the ruddy, handsome face. "Never asked him but one question about it. He answered that straight, and never spoke since about it.
He's aisy enough, God knows, but I'd rather jump into the say than face him when the anger is in him." "He's a terrible man," said Curran, repeating Edith's phrase. He examined some manuscript in Arthur's handwriting. How different from the careless scrawl of Horace Endicott this clear, bold, dashing script, which ran full speed across the page, yet turned with ease and leisurely from the margin.
By Gaylord Wilshire. New York, 1907. While this work was in the press, one of the English Labour members, Mr. Curran, at a public meeting, gave his views, as a socialist, about this very question equality of industrial opportunity and as an example of such opportunity already in existence, he mentioned the cash-credit system, which prevails in banks in Scotland.
Curran made a hare of yer honor that day. Begorrah I wonder ye ever held up yer head after." Here a burst of laughter at the recollection seemed to escape Darby so naturally, that its contagious effects were felt throughout the assembly. "You are a wit, Mr. M'Keown, I fancy, eh?" "Bedad I 'm not, sir; very little of that same would have kept out of this to-day."
'The fleas would have dragged me out of bed if they had been unanimous, said the great Mr. Curran; and there can be no doubt that if all the spiders in this commonwealth would unite to attack me in a body, I should fall a victim to their combined nippers.
He wrote some stirring patriotic ballads, originally contributed to The Nation, and afterwards republished as Spirit of the Nation, also a memoir of Curran the great Irish lawyer and orator, prefixed to an ed. of his speeches; and he had formed many literary plans which were brought to naught by his untimely death. Chemist and man of letters, s. of a wood-carver, was b. at Penzance.
Curran was once engaged in a legal argument; behind him stood his colleague, a gentleman whose person was remarkably tall and slender, and who had originally intended to take orders.
