Coxon told me himself: he came into my room when I rose to-day. He's asked Medland to accept his resignation." Kilshaw sprang to his feet. "What on?" asked Sir Robert. "The Accident-Liability Clause in the Factory Act." "A very good ground," commented the ex-Premier. "Very cleverly chosen." "What does Medland say?" asked Kilshaw eagerly. "Will he give way, or will he let him go?"
"How many windows did they break, Perry?" "Only three," rejoined the Ex-Premier. "Considering the popular enthusiasm I got off cheap." "You can't stir a people's heart for nothing. All the same, the reception they gave him was a fine sight." "Extraordinary, wasn't it?" "I call it most ominous," said Mr. Kilshaw, and he rose and went out gloomily.
It was still more embarrassing when, at a later period, Mr. Pitt threw himself into avowed opposition to a government, of which the premier was his friend and pupil, and the other ministers, one of whom was his own brother, might all be regarded as his nominees. Indeed, six remained in office when he returned to power, and the ex-premier himself joined the administration in a few mouths after.
We go down, then; complete the furnishing, quite leisurely; accept listen accept one or two invitations: impossible to refuse! but they are accepted! and we defy her: a crazy old creature: imagines herself the wife of the ex-Premier, widow of Prince Le Boo, engaged to the Chinese Ambassador, et caetera. Leave the tussle with that woman to me.
'Not only one of the most meritorious, but one of the most interesting, biographical works that have appeared on the subject of the ex-Premier.... It furnishes a picture from many points original and striking; it makes additions of value to the evidence on which we are entitled to estimate a great public character; and it gives the reader's judgment exactly that degree of guidance which is the function of a calm, restrained, and judicious historian. Birmingham Daily Post.
"Before they parted, they agreed to have the services there on Sunday that's tomorrow, and the ex-Premier is going to speak after the service on 'How to Build a Community. All the women are baking, and everybody will bring their visitors, instead of staying home from church the way they've been doing, and the children can play in the sand-pile, and sail their boats on the little creek, and it looks as if Purple Springs has experienced a change of heart."
Duncombe, a famous comedian, who was then on tour in New Lindsey and had been made an honorary member of the Club, smacked his lips over the dramatic moment when the ex-Premier, calmly and in a clear voice, had identified the person in the photograph, declared the deceased man to have been Benyon, and very briefly stated how he had been connected with him in old days.
But I have met most of the brothers repeatedly, and frequently I met James, the Melbourne merchant, who was the eldest, and also William, the lawyer and ex-Premier of Tasmania, a most amiable and gentlemanly man, who latterly resided at Home, where he died, and who often attended the lectures and discussions at the Royal Colonial Institute of London.
When this inconsistency in the Marquis's actions was called in question in the Japanese House of Representatives, the ex-Premier absolutely denied the truth of the statement attributed to him by the Japanese papers, without any show of hesitancy, and thus boldly shirked the responsibility which, in reality, lay on him...."
This, however, as will be shown, had no influence on their subsequent conduct. The quiet disappearance of the ex-Premier in the midst of this upheaval caused the report to spread that all the members of the corrupt camarilla which had surrounded him were to be arrested, but the President soon publicly disclaimed any intention of doing so, which appears to have been a fatal mistake.
