The nation would have been in a healthier condition if Lord Haldane's reasoned policy had been acted upon and Mr. Lloyd George's talent for oratory had been employed to explain that reasoned policy to the less educated sections of the public, instead of used to arouse an angry opposition to the unreasoned and disconnected reforms of his own conception. But what a topsy-turvy world! Mr.
"My study is open to you, my son, and my heart, too," he added, taking Haldane's hand in both of his with a grasp that emphasized his cordial words. "Sit down by me here, and tell me all that is on your mind." This reception was so much kinder than he had even hoped, that Haldane was deeply moved.
"If I told him he was going to the dogs he'd tell me to go to the devil. No, one of you army men must do it. He'll listen to you." Young Captain Haldane of the cavalry was at the table; he was visiting Panama on leave as a tourist. The chief turned to him. "Haldane's the man," he said. "You're his friend and you're his junior in rank, so what you say won't sound official.
Knowing Haldane's antecedents, and how peculiarly unfitted he was by early life and training for his present trials, I think his course since he was last released from prison has been very brave," and she gave a brief sketch of his life and mental states, as far as a delicate regard for his feelings permitted, from that date. Dr.
When he allowed Lord Haldane to resign from the Cabinet at the shout of a few ignorant journalists he sacrificed the oldest of his friends to political exigencies. This was bad enough; but what made it worse was the appearance of heroic courage he assumed in paddling to Lord Haldane's rescue long after the tide of abuse had fallen.
It's so lonely without papa. Oh! I'm so tired," she added after a few moments, and a little later her head dropped against Haldane's breast, and she was asleep. "Mr. Haldane," said Amy in a low, agitated voice, "have you embodied your faith in that story to Bertha?" "Yes, Miss Amy." "Why do you think" and she hesitated.
Haldane's hopes were realized beyond his anticipations, for the doctor's old mare at first surprised and restless from the wounds made by the sharp spines speedily became indignant and fractious, and at last, half frantic with pain, started on a gallop down the street, setting all the town agog with excitement and alarm.
Haldane's pre-eminence consisted only in his lack of respectability; and after the brave visions of the past week, based on his literary toil, this cool, sharp-cut statement of society's opinion quenched about all hope of ever rising by first gaining recognition and employment among those whose position was similar to what his own had been.
He would have soon gone to sleep again had not the door opened, and a man emerged, who exclaimed: "Faix, an who have we here, noddin' to himself as if he knew more'n other folk? Are ye waitin' for some un to ax ye within for a comfortin' dhrop?" "Take me 'ome," mumbled Haldane. "Where's yer home?" "Mrs. Haldane's," answered the youth, thinking himself in his native town.
Thus she sought to make her home, not gay or gaudy not a brilliant mockery of her sorrow, which she had learned to calmly recognize as one might a village cemetery in a sunny landscape but cheerful and lightsome like this April morning, which looked in through the curtained windows of Haldane's apartment, and found everything in harmony with itself save the occupant.
