There little Rawdon's time was mostly spent hidden upstairs in a garret somewhere, or crawling below into the kitchen for companionship. His mother scarcely ever took notice of him.
Webster, a little plaintively. "That we haven't got?" "Oh, May, you know quite well what I mean! It must be the heat that is making you so argumentative. Mr. Curzon always has some pet hobby on hand for which he wants money, and of course he ought to have it; but really, just now, what with a trip abroad, and the London house to paint and paper throughout, I've not so much in hand as usual."
"Now it is wild talk like that that makes me sometimes distrust Mr. Curzon; and he ought to know better, being of such good family himself," said Mrs. Webster, fretfully. "Is it not at the Macdonalds that the Lessings are lodging? As you seem to wish it, we will call this afternoon."
Curzon," says she, with great dignity and more temper, "what may be the meanin' of all this?" The professor's tongue cleaves to the roof of his mouth, but Perpetua's tongue remains normal.

She, Cicely, of course she made it plain, by a casual hint or two had just come from the very centre of things; from living on a social diet of nothing less choice than Cabinet Ministers and leading Generals Bonar Law, Asquith, Curzon, Briand, Lloyd George, Thomas, the great Joffre himself.
Curzon, with a heart-throb of thanksgiving that Tom was ready to face out the consequences of his action. "Oh yes; I shall tell him. He might hear it any way, but I'd rather tell him myself." "Very good. Now you had better go home to bed, and, if you have never said a real prayer before, you will say one to-night, Tom, to the God who has saved you from falling over a precipice of crime."
"This is my card," said the lady "Mrs. Rivers, Curzon Street, Mayfair and I shall expect you to-morrow afternoon that is to say, if the doctor approves of you. Here is one-and-sixpence for your cab fare." "Thank you, ma'am." "I shall expect you not later than four o'clock. I hope you won't disappoint me; remember my child is waiting." When Mrs. Rivers left, Esther consulted with Mrs. Jones.
Government, however, remained inflexible, and the storm abated when it was announced that Lord Curzon had resigned and was about to leave India the last and perhaps the ablest and certainly the most forceful Viceroy of a period in which efficient administration had come to be regarded as the be-all and end-all of government. His resignation, however, had nothing to do with the Partition.
I know you know Arthur.... Lionel Tennyson, who was also here with Gerald Balfour, has a splendid humor witty and "fin," which is rare in England. Lord Houghton, Alfred Lyttelton, Godfrey Webb, George Curzon, the Chesterfields, the Hayters, Mary Gladstone, and a lot more have been here.
