There was also a postscript to the effect that though The Billow carried no free-list, it took great pleasure in sending him a complimentary subscription for the ensuing year. After that experience, Martin typed at the top of the first sheet of all his manuscripts: "Submitted at your usual rate." Some day, he consoled himself, they will be submitted at my usual rate.
Jack Bannister visited the Haymarket theatre on Wednesday night, August 20, and made in the free-list book the following entry: "Fifty years ago, in the year 1778, I made my first appearance at this theatre. Half a century is not bad. Hurra!! John Bannister."
'We haven't had, said Mrs Jarley when the meal was over, 'more than eight of Miss Monflathers's young ladies all the time we've been here, and there's twenty-six of 'em, as I was told by the cook when I asked her a question or two and put her on the free-list. We must try 'em with a parcel of new bills, and you shall take it, my dear, and see what effect that has upon 'em.

And all gilt-edged five-hundred-per-cent. stock, every detail of it; the tidiest little property in Europe; and that graveyard it's the selectest in the world: none but suicides admitted; YES, sir, and the free-list suspended, too, ALL the time.
"Hem!" said Tanner: "I see you're on the free-list. And pray how am I to know you are Gerard's daughter?" "You do not doubt I am his daughter!" said Sybil proudly. "Hem!" said Tanner: "I do not know that I do very much," and he whispered to his wife. Sybil removed from them as far as she was able.
