At her, however, he continued to rail as late as the publication of Beppo, in the 75th and 76th stanzas of which we find another cause of complaint, One hates an author that's all author, fellows In foolscap uniforms turn'd up with ink So very anxious, clever, fine, and jealous, One don't know what to say to them, or think.
"Dat barty," suggests WOLFF; he was the "barty" of our party, in the merry days of old. Now none of 'em here, and I with my ink-stand before me, a pencil, a pen, note-books galore, and any amount of foolscap, represent "the composition" of our party. I must get on with my "compo." Is reminds me of doing a "Theme" at Eton. This is a holiday task. One, two, three, off! and away!
"What is that?" asked Ferguson. "An essay on 'The Immortality of the Soul, covers fifteen pages foolscap. What shall I do with it?" "Publish it in a supplement with Dr. Peabody's circular." "I am not sure but the circular would be more interesting reading." "From whom does the essay come?" "It is signed 'L. S."
Coulson rose to his feet. "You sit right here," he declared. "I'll be back in less than five minutes." Mr. Coulson was as good as his word. In less than the time mentioned he was seated again by his companion's side with a square sheet of foolscap spread out upon the round table. The Inspector ran it through hurriedly.
One glance showed they were all of an utterly different quality from that used in the confession. "This is all the paper in the house," said he. "Are you sure of that?"

"Wasn't there one stray sheet lying around somewhere, foolscap or something like that, which she might have got hold of and used without your knowing it?"
It cost me something in foolscap, and I had pretty nearly filled a shelf with my writings. And then suddenly the whole business came to an end." "To an end?" "Yes, sir. And no later than this morning. I went to my work as usual at ten o'clock, but the door was shut and locked, with a little square of cardboard hammered onto the middle of the panel with a tack.
His uncle had behaved so strangely in providing him with his last bounty, that it was difficult for him not to connect this letter with that gift. Something might have been made over to his father on his behalf, and, with this thought in his mind, he unfolded the sheet of foolscap and read as follows:
The Captain would knit his weather-beaten brow and again retire anxiously to his quarters, after begging Gissing to be generous and carry on a while longer. Occasionally, pacing the starboard bridge-deck, sacred to captains, Gissing would glance through the port and see the metaphysical commander bent over sheets of foolscap and thickly wreathed in pipe-smoke.
As the States were firmly resolved never to relinquish that navigation which in truth was one of their most practical and valuable possessions, and as the royal commissioners were as solemnly determined that it should never be conceded, it may be imagined how much breath, how much foolscap paper, was wasted. In truth, the negotiation for peace had been a vile mockery from the beginning.
Hilda brought Selby-Harrison's form of guarantee with her. It was written on a sheet of blue foolscap paper and ornamented with a penny stamp, necessary, so a footnote informed me, because the sum of money involved was more than two pounds.
