One feels he's glad it happened, to give him the chance to win her gratitude or something. He's been back and forth all day; and I'm expecting him any minute. Mrs. East has been fainting and hysterical, and everything early Edwardian, so I sent for a doctor. But she's better on the strength of sal volatile and eggnog, and she's promised to see Sir Marcus."
In this age it is possible to take refuge under the magic word "Cézanne"; we can say that Cézanne has imposed his forms on Georgian painters and public, just as Wagner imposed his on Edwardian musicians and concert-goers. This explanation seems to me inadequate; and in any case it will not account for the predominance of formal fashions in ages undominated by any masterful genius.
I want them to know how wonderful an Edwardian can be." "Please please!" pleaded Jennings from under his sombrero. "Dick would revel in you. You would whip him into brilliance. I know it. You admire his work, surely?" "I admire it very much." "And he is more wonderful still when he's drunk. And to-night I feel it he will be drunk. I pledge myself that Dick Garstin will be drunk."
For the Bastides and Villes Neuves see Dr. A.E. Brinckmann, Deutsche Bauzeitung, Jan.-Feb., 1910, and, for an example, fig. 35. Soon after, the chess-board pattern came to England and was used in Edwardian towns like Flint and Winchelsea; then, too, it was adopted at the other end of the civilized world by German soldiers in Polish lands.
Do you know that some people hate her?" "Impossible!" "They do." "Who do?" "The young-old women of her time, the young-old Edwardian women. She dates them. She shows them up by looking as she does. She is their contemporary, and she has the impertinence to be old. And they can't forgive her for it." "I understand," said Craven.
He might easily be misled, this youth." Aloud he said, "All I meant was that "'Holy joy about the earth is shed, And Holiness upon the deep, as one of your Edwardian poets has sung. That was a gifted generation: may it rest in peace. For I think it mostly perished in that calamitous war we had.... But your Georgians they too are a gifted generation, is it not so?"
The animus imponentis is not that of the Edwardian or Elizabethan legislation, it is not that of the Bishops! it is that of the Christian Church itself! handing down the deposition fidei from the earliest to the latest times. "The Creeds, sir, are vital! Put aside Homilies, Articles, the judgments and precedents of the Church Courts all these are, in this struggle, beside the mark.
For the second time Lady Sellingworth was a widow; for the second time she spent the period of mourning in Paris. And when it was over she went for a tour round the world with a small party of friends; Sir Guy Letchworth and his plain, but gay and clever wife, and Roger Brand, a millionaire and a famous Edwardian.
His existence had been passed in the transition from one era to another the Early Victorian, under whose disappearing influences he had spent his youth; the Late Victorian and Edwardian, in whose more rapidly changing atmosphere he had ripened to maturity.
Henceforth the English king could only devote a small share of his resources to an undertaking which he had not been able to compass when his whole energies were absorbed in it. The patriots, who had always dominated the open country, now attacked the castles and fortified towns, which were the bulwarks of the Edwardian power.
