It was free in its criticism of persons or parties who it considered were setting up false standards for the guidance of the people. It derided the policy of the Irish Party as "half-bluster and half-whine," and when Mr Redmond spoke rhetorically of "wringing from whatever Government may be in power the full measure of a nation's rights," it bluntly told him he was talking "arrant humbug."
There's no doubt 'twas a jedgement on her. As for Rose, no doubt the god of the widow and fatherless will purvide for her." In spite of his disgust, Telford could not repress a smile at the tone, half-whine, half-snuffle, with which Galletly ended up. "I think I had better call and see this Mrs. Palmer," he said slowly. "'Twould be no airthly use, Mr. Telford.
"She slipped on her gown of green A piece below the knee, And 'twas all a long, cold winter's night A dead corse followed she." Still the beast lay with closed eyes, yet never relaxing his grasp. Once a half-whine of enjoyment escaped him, he fawned his fearful head upon her; once he scored her cheek with his tongue: savage caresses that hurt like wounds.

"Now, Miss Lancaster!" His chin sank. He wagged his head dolefully. Then, whether from warmth, or a desire to display the glories of his raiment, he took off his blouse. As he talked, in a half-whine that was meant to be placating, Simon suddenly became a more interested spectator.
