Will you come?" "No, thank you!
If this mental attitude and the tactics based on it succeed, they must, it may be argued, spread with constantly increasing rapidity; and just as, by Gresham's Law in commerce, base coin, if there is enough of it, must drive out sterling coin, so in politics, must the easier and more immediately effective drive out the more difficult and less effective method of appeal.

At the farther end of Green Street, near to Park Lane, lived Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith. Dr. Thorne When Miss Dunstable met her friends the Greshams young Frank Gresham and his wife at Gatherum Castle, she immediately asked after one Dr. Thorne, who was Mrs. Gresham's uncle.
