But with a clear eye for the main chance Mr Fadge soon perceived that Yule could only be of temporary use to him, and that the editor of a well-established weekly which lost no opportunity of throwing scorn upon Yule and all his works would be a much more profitable conquest.
And you must also have heard that Fadge leaves The Study at the end of this year, eh? 'Father told me it was probable. 'Rackett and he have done nothing but quarrel for months; the paper is falling off seriously. Well, now, when I came across Nat Walker this afternoon, the first thing he said to me was, "You know Alfred Yule pretty well, I think?" "Pretty well," I answered; "why?"
'I don't credit Rackett with enough good sense for such a proposal, he said deliberately. 'And I'm not very sure that I should accept it if it were made. That fellow Fadge has all but ruined the paper. It will amuse me to see how long it takes him to make Culpepper's new magazine a distinct failure. A silence of five minutes ensued; then Yule said of a sudden. 'Where is Hinks's book?
Now his sisters would tell him, and henceforth there would be a clear understanding on both sides. That state of things was painful to her, but it was better than ambiguous relations. 'Jasper is very sorry about it, said Dora, glancing rapidly at Marian. 'But his connection with Mr Fadge came about in such a natural way, added the eldest sister.
'Your brother speaks quite seriously, I suppose? Jasper remarked when he was in the garden with Alfred. 'I think so. It's amusing now and then, but gets rather tiresome when you hear it often. By-the-bye, you are not personally acquainted with Mr Fadge? 'I didn't even know his name until you mentioned it. 'The most malicious man in the literary world.
An' you 'ave yer got a name for the arskin'?" "Why, certainly!" And Helmsley's pale face flushed. "My name is David." "Chrisen name? Surname?" "Both." Matthew Peke shook his head. "'Twon't fadge!" he declared. "It don't sound right. "I'm not a Jew," said Helmsley, smiling. "Mebbe not mebbe not but yer name's awsome like it.
'There has been something like a personal conflict between Fadge and the man who looks after the minor notices. Fadge, more so, charged the other man with a design to damage him and the paper. There's talk of legal proceedings. An immense joke! He laughed in his peculiar croaking way. 'Do you feel disposed for a turn along the lanes, Mr Milvain? 'By all means.
The family at once removed from London, and the name of Yule was no longer met with in periodical literature. By an interesting coincidence, it was on the day of this departure that there appeared a number of The West End in which the place of honour, that of the week's Celebrity, was occupied by Clement Fadge.
Shortly after midnight Anna went over to see how things were at the wake. They told her of the singing of the children, of the beautiful chapther by Misther Gwynn, and the "feelin'" by Graham Shannon. The whey was sufficient and nearly everybody had "a dhrap o' th' craither" and a bite of fadge.
The men who have an aptitude for turning out this kind of thing in vast quantities are enlisted by every new periodical, with the result that their productions are ultimately watered down into worthlessness.... Well now, there's Fadge.
