Still, I had rather you had shown an interest in my doings. After a pause Amy asked: 'Do you think you can get a paper of this kind accepted? 'It isn't impossible. I think it's rather well done. Let me read you a page 'Where will you send it? she interrupted. 'To The Wayside. 'Why not try The Current? Ask Milvain to introduce you to Mr Fadge. They pay much better, you know.
Milvain had gone over to the enemy. Whether or not the young man understood how relentless the hostility was between Yule and Fadge mattered little; the probability was that he knew all about it. In any case intimate relations with him could not have survived this alliance with Fadge, so that, after all, there had been wisdom in letting the acquaintance lapse.
What folly it would be to draw back if circumstances led him to avow what hitherto he had so slightly disguised! She had the conviction that he valued her for her own sake; if the obstacle between them could only be removed, what matter how? Would he be willing to abandon Clement Fadge, and come over to her father's side? If Yule were able to found a magazine?
I shall rise to the occasion, see if I don't. I'll rival Fadge himself in maliciousness though I must confess I discovered no particular malice in the fellow's way of talking. The article shall make a sensation. I'll spend a whole month on it, and make it a perfect piece of satire. 'Now that's the kind of thing that inspires me with awe and envy, said Reardon.
It was now that the bride-cake was got. Ould Sonsy Mary marched over, and putting the bride on her feet, got up on a chair and broke it over her head, giving round a fadge* of it to every young person in the house, and they again to their acquaintances: but, lo and behold you, who should insist on getting a whang of it but the friar, which he rolled up in a piece of paper, and put it in his pocket.
'It is rumoured, I believe. 'Going to one of the quarterlies, they say, remarked a lady. 'He is getting terribly autocratic. Have you heard the delightful story of his telling Mr Rowland to persevere, as his last work was one of considerable promise? Mr Rowland was a man who had made a merited reputation when Fadge was still on the lower rungs of journalism.
With Mr Polo, for instance, who held him in esteem, and whose commercial success made him a valuable connection, Alfred ultimately broke on a trifling matter of personal dignity. Later came the great quarrel with Clement Fadge, an affair of considerable advantage in the way of advertisement to both the men concerned. It happened in the year 1873.
Marian drew a breath, but remained for a moment with her eyes cast down. 'Do go on, dear, urged Dora. 'Whatever are you going to tell us? 'There's a notice of father's book, continued the other, 'a very ill-natured one; it's written by the editor, Mr Fadge. Father and he have been very unfriendly for a long time. Perhaps Mr Milvain has told you something about it? Dora replied that he had.
On a sudden, however, the proverb of mending old garments with new cloth occurred to me. ‘I am afraid,’ said I, ‘any new adventures which I can invent will not fadge well with the old tale; one will but spoil the other.’ I had better have nothing to do with Colonel B , thought I, but boldly and independently sit down and write the life of Joseph Sell.
The book isn't worth special notice, and whoever undertook to review it for Fadge would either have to lie, or stultify the magazine. Jasper turned to Amy. 'Now what is to be done with a man like this? What is one to say to him, Mrs Reardon? 'Edwin dislikes the book, Amy replied, carelessly. 'That has nothing to do with the matter.
