Grindle to give his name to the 'Westminster Magazine. When Bacon brought out his comic Irish novel of 'Barney Brallaghan, off went Bungay to Dublin, and produced his rollicking Hibernian story of 'Looney MacTwolter. When Doctor Hicks brought out his 'Wanderings in Mesopotamia' under Bacon's auspices, Bungay produced Professor Sandiman's 'Researches in Zahara; and Bungay is publishing his 'Pall Mall Gazette' as a counterpoise to Bacon's 'Whitehall Review. Let us go and hear about the 'Gazette. There may be a place for you in it, Pen, my boy.
"I'll get Sam Grindle, their assistant advertising manager to show me the way the wheels go 'round. No man can ride a Magic Carpet of Bagdad over the skyscrapers in these days of shattered folklore." Howard Van Cleft returned with the famous surgeon, Professor MacDonald. He was elderly, with the broad high forehead, dignity of poise, and sharpness of glance which bespeaks the successful scientist.
It was lost on Mahony, who was not the man to accept hints from a stranger. The hour was on lunch-time; Grindle proposed that they should go together to a legal chop-house, which offered prime value for your money, and where, over the meal, he would give Mahony the latest news of his suit.
Grindle, where there are hundreds of 'fashionable murders' committed yearly. And twice the papers have teemed with accounts of the unhappy mothers dying, and on the last occasion the child was not to be found, although born alive and nothing done to either the doctor or his lady!"
Mahony paid it, and stalked out of the office. But this was still not all. Once again Grindle ran after him, and pinned him to the floor. "I say, Mr. Mahony, a rare joke gad, it's enough to make you burst your sides! That old thingumbob, the plaintiff, ye know, now what'n earth d'you think 'e's been an' done? Gets outer court like one o'clock 'e'd a sorter rabbit-fancyin' business in 'is backyard.
And driving to Ocock's office, on term day, he resolved to go on afterwards to the Bank of Australasia and there deposit this sum. Grindle, set off by a pair of flaming "sideboards," himself ushered Mahony into the sanctum, and the affair was disposed of in a trice.
I simply said I couldn't paint him, that I was too moved. She rather liked the idea she's so romantic! It was that that made her give me the donkey. But she was terribly upset at not getting the portrait she did so want him 'done' by some one showy! At first I was afraid she wouldn't let me off and at my wits' end I suggested Grindle. Yes, it was I who started Grindle: I told Mrs.
Abundant more examples of this kind, were it necessary, might be given, both from this very good observator, and from M. de Luc . [Footnote 23: Vid. Discours sur l'Histoire Naturelle de la Suisse, passim; but more particularly under the article of Route du Grindle wald
Gisburn fond enough not to see her absurdity. It was his own absurdity he seemed to be wincing under his own attitude as an object for garlands and incense. "My dear, since I've chucked painting people don't say that stuff about me they say it about Victor Grindle," was his only protest, as he rose from the table and strolled out onto the sunlit terrace.
I glanced after him, struck by his last word. Victor Grindle was, in fact, becoming the man of the moment as Jack himself, one might put it, had been the man of the hour. The younger artist was said to have formed himself at my friend's feet, and I wondered if a tinge of jealousy underlay the latter's mysterious abdication.
