To relieve himself he said, as they had come back to the place beside the lake where the boat was moored, "Shan't we really go and fetch Mr. Hoppus?" She hesitated. "You may go; I won't, please." "That's not what I want." "Oblige me by going. I'll wait here." With which she sat down on the bench attached to the little landing.
Hoppus? Is it the sort of thing constituents expect? Or, even worse, pretending to have read him when one hasn't? Oh what a tangled web we weave!" "People are talking about it. One has to know. It's the article of the month." Nick looked at her askance. "You say things every now and then for which I could really kill you. 'The article of the month, for instance: I could kill you for that."
The college was accused of infidelity. King's College was started in opposition; and violent antipathies were aroused. A special controversy raged within the council itself. Two philosophical chairs were to be founded; and philosophy cannot be kept clear of religion. After long discussions, one chair was filled by the appointment of the Reverend John Hoppus, an independent minister.
She made no direct answer, but continued to walk, saying they would go as far as the stile. "Of course I know you're fearfully vague," she presently resumed. "I wasn't vague at all. But you were in such a hurry to get away." "It doesn't signify. I've another at home." "Another summer-house?" he more lightly suggested. "A copy of Mr. Hoppus." "Mercy, how you go in for him! Fancy having two!"
Now if we were to catch you young, good subscriber or contributor, yourself, and put you into a cage to crack nuts and pull ugly faces, although you might, from continued practice, do both to perfection, at a shilling a-head for grown-up ladies and gentlemen, and sixpence for children and servants, and even at a lower rate after the collection had been some weeks in town, would you not think it exceedingly hard to be judged of in that one of your predicaments, not only individually, but nationally that is, not only as Ben Hoppus, your own name, but as John Bull, the name of the people of which you are an incarcerated specimen?
Miss Blenkinsop said she sang out of all tune, to the pain and astonishment of Pen, who thought that she was as beautiful as an angel, and that she sang like a nightingale; and when Hoppus came on as Sir Harcourt Featherby, the young man of the piece, the gentlemen in the box declared that Hoppus was getting too stale, and Tiptoff was for flinging Miss Blenkinsop's bouquet to him.
She said something about their going as far as the stile, then the next instant exclaimed: "How stupid of you you've forgotten Mr. Hoppus!" Nick wondered. "We left him in the temple of Vesta. Darling, I had other things to think of there." "I'll send for him," said Julia. "Lord, can you think of him now?" he asked. "Of course I can more than ever." "Shall we go back for him?" and he pulled up.
Macaulay's chief subordinate, it may be remarked, Charles Hay Cameron, was one of the Benthamites, and had been proposed by Grote for the chair at the London University ultimately filled by Hoppus. After 1830 Mill wrote the severe fragment on Mackintosh, which, after a delay caused by Mackintosh's death, appeared in 1835.
