"The entire office force of the now defunct John Burnit Store has been dismissed, that's all!" blurted Applerod, now the aggrieved one. "You sold us out, lock, stock and barrel!" "Impossible!" gasped Bobby. Mr. Johnson glumly showed him curt letters of dismissal from Trimmer. "Where's mine, I wonder?" inquired Bobby, trying to take his terrific defeat with sportsmanlike nonchalance.
And then, with a very stately air, he was quitting the room; but was soon stopt, upon Mr Briggs calling out "Ay, ay, Don Duke, poke in the old charnel houses by yourself, none of your defunct for me! didn't care if they were all hung in a string. Who's the better for 'em? "Pray, Sir," cried Mr Delvile, turning round, "to whom were you pleased to address that speech?"
Venetia shut the door and they took their seats about the room whilst Jones, who had risen, reseated himself. Then, with the deep breath of a man preparing for a dive, he began: "I have asked you all to come here this morning I asked you to meet me this morning because I just want to tell you the truth. I am an intruder into your family " "An intruder," cried the mother of the defunct.
Instead of seeing and feeling for themselves, they sought by dissection to confirm the written precepts of a defunct Roman writer. This diversion of a great art from its natural line of development supplies a striking instance of the fascination which authority exercises at certain periods of culture.
They expressed in every way in which it was possible to express it the solemnity of their conviction that the marble image was a part of the personal greatness of the defunct, and the protection, the redemption, of his memory. A modern tomb, in comparison, is a sceptical affair; it insists too little on the honours.
The day wore by; the days at the Lodge went swiftly enough now, even under the haunting eyes of the pale foundress, and the grim, defunct masters, which Christian used to fancy pursued her, and glared at her from morning till night. Now the sad queen seemed to gaze at her with a pensive envy, and the dark-visaged mediaeval doctors to look after her with a good-natured smile.
I shall marry him to a good girl, and I shall show your uncle what my kind of man-making is. Nevil had no desire to meet the other great-nephew, especially when he was aware of the extraordinary circumstance that a Beauchamp great-niece, having no money, had bestowed her hand on a Manchester man defunct, whereof this young Blackburn Tuckham, the lawyer, was issue. He took his leave of Mrs.
On many occasions this has a singular and striking effect, but it degenerates into mere empty form and grimace in cases where the defunct has had the misfortune to live unbeloved and die unlamented.
Nay, the pang would be scarcely less to believe that a fair intellect like that of Alfred Stevens, or a wild, irregular genius, like that of Margaret Cooper because of its erring, either through perversity or blindness, is wholly to become defunct, so far as employment is concerned that they are to be deprived of all privilege of working up to the lost places regaining the squandered talents atoning, by industry and humble desire, the errors and deficiencies of the past!
The contrast between Lady Plinlimon and the girl, whose vision dominated his mind, rose up again sharply at sight of the printed name. Ass! That name did not apply to Rochester. To fit him with an appropriate pseudonym would be impossible. Fool, idiot, sumph Jones tried them all on the image of the defunct, but they were too small.
