The whole of the inside of the desk was filled with neat packets, each carefully tied up and docketed; on several had been written, "In the case of my death, to be burnt;" on other packets, "To be returned to Madame de Léra in case of my death." Vanderlyn saw that here at least were none of his letters, and none from Peggy's child.
Into its hungry mouth there went childhood at its best, full of energy, with every kind of ability, talent and promise, enterprise and ambition; through its teeth, its moulds, and its classrooms they passed, until they issued from the end a single and singular type of humanity, moulded, stamped, docketed and numbered to take their place, or rather, and this is the saddest note of all, their very numerous and different places in the world.
I noticed jewel-cases, with ciphers and armorial bearings stamped upon them, and sets of fine table-linen, and weapons of price; but none of the things were docketed. I opened a book which seemed to be misplaced, and found a thousand-franc note in it.
With the morning came a resolution to avoid her altogether. He rose very early and took the first train out of Arles. It took him to Nîmes. "Who is Rivière?" Here was a new factor in the situation. Lars Larssen mentally docketed it as a matter to be dealt with immediately. "This is Mr Larssen speaking. Are you Mrs Matheson?" "Yes. Good morning." "Good morning.
I know two of his friends who pay a Private Inquiry Office to send them news of him." Alice laughed and became silent. What merry haphazard people were these she had fallen among! At home everything was docketed and ordered. Meals were immovable feasts, the hour for bed and the hour for rising were more regular than the sun's.
I wanted to give myself time; I wanted to create the impression that I was old at this game; that I had to do with scores and scores of young women seeking employment; to make her realize the grim fact of competition; to saturate her with the idea that she was only one of scores and scores, all docketed and pigeon-holed, any one of whom might have superior qualities; when it would be easy enough to say, "I'm sorry, but the fact is, I rather think I've engaged somebody already."
The pigeon-holes contained but a few bundles of papers, all tied very neatly with red tape and docketed. Whitmore's virtues. He seized on the register at once, opened it, and ran his eyes down the later pages, muttering while he read. "There is no entry here of Miss Brooks's marriage," he announced.
And then he read aloud the words docketed upon the outside: "'Warranty Deed and Conveyance from Charles Walton to Jonas Wegg and William Thompson. Our troubles are over, my boy, for here is the key to your fortune." "Also," whispered Louise to her cousins, rather disconsolately, "it explains the last shred of mystery about the Wegg case. Heigh-ho! what a chase we've had for nothing!"
The very use of sporting terminology in politics angered him. In his mind the case was docketed not as Thatcher versus Bassett, but as Thatcher and Bassett versus the People. It all came to that. And why should not the People the poor, meek, long-suffering People, the "pee-pul" of familiar derision sometimes win?
The guests streaming through the White House defiled past a man who, in a level and docketed world, appeared to his generation as the reincarnation of forces primitive, over-mastering, and heroic.
