Then he remembered that Braceway was not that kind of a joker. He looked at his watch. He had no encyclopaedia, and it was now a quarter to eleven, too late to ring up anybody and ask the absurd favour of having extracts from an encyclopaedia read to him over the telephone. Besides, it might be something he would prefer to keep to himself.
If some person were to come to me to-morrow to say that all the East-enders, from Bishopsgate Street to Bow, had been seized with a kind of frenzy, like that which from time to time takes possession of the Norway marmots, or bandicoots, or whatever they are called " "Lemmings," said Constance. "Yes, lemmings. Thanks, Connie, you are a perfect walking encyclopaedia.
The elder Mirabeau, father of the revolutionary leader of 1789, had just published his "Ami des Hommes" and this we find Montcalm studying. But above all he reads the great encyclopaedia of Diderot. By 1759 seven of the huge volumes had been issued.
Minutes, even, have their value." "They have," agreed Mellowkent, looking at his watch. "That," said Caiaphas, "is why this book that I am introducing to your notice is not a book that you can afford to be without.
