The affection of the clergy for each other, we have observed, is, like that of the fair sex, not at all of a blind and infatuated kind; and we may therefore the rather believe them when they give each other any extra-official praise.
Not a word of acknowledgment was ever given for having a second time saved the Empire from dismemberment, though this service was entirely extra-official, it being no part of my contract with the Brazilian Government to put down revolution, nor to take upon myself the responsibility and difficult labour of reducing half the Empire to the allegiance which it had perhaps not without cause repudiated at the same time, of necessity, taking the management of the whole upon myself.
It may be doubted how far this young man would have been disposed to submit to these extra-official inquiries of the three deputies of the crowd, had there been a desire to urge them, for he went towards the quay, with an eye that expressed any other sensation than that of amity or compliance.
Why also is no compensation awarded to me for my extra-official services in putting down revolution in the Northern provinces an act, or series of acts in my estimation, of far greater importance and difficulty than the expulsion of the Portuguese fleet and army?
He is a little eccentric, perhaps a sort of exaggeration of myself but I shall signify to him that, when he comes into the firm, I consider that it will be to its advantage that he should import a little of what we may call his 'extra-official' manner into it.
"It's all being done for the benefit of one man," she said. The facts were presented in the form of a memorandum, which Mrs. To Edward M. House London, November 26, 1913. DEAR HOUSE: Won't you read the enclosed and get it to the President? It is somewhat extra-official but it is very confidential, and I have a special reason for wishing it to go through your hands. Perhaps it will interest you.
Of which the prose facts are only as follows. Luiscius, Prussian Resident, not distinguished by salary or otherwise, had, at one stage of these negotiations, been told, from head-quarters, He might, in casual extra-official ways, if it seemed furthersome, give their High Mightinesses the hope, or notion, that his Majesty did not intend actual war about that Cleve-Julich Succession, being a pacific Majesty, and unwilling to involve his neighbors and mankind.
These honours I most thankfully accept, as highly gratifying proofs that, after the lapse of more than thirty years, my zealous, official, extra-official, and successful exertions, to ensure to Chili complete independence, internal peace, and the dominion of the Pacific, are held in grateful remembrance by the Government and People of that highly respected nation.
He but too well knew the origin of his loosely applied title of Major a field officer's rank more honored at the easygoing clubs of Yokahama, Shanghai, and Hong Kong than on the Army List a rank best known at the ring-side of Indian sporting grounds, and only tacitly accepted in the extra-official circles of Hindustan. For it figured not in the official Army List, either as active or retired.
Add to all which, Seckendorf is there, not now as War-General, but as extra-official "Adviser;" busier than ever, "scandalous old traitor!" say the French; and Friedrich may justly fear that Bavaria will go, by collapse, a bad road for him.
