Their reason was pure blind obscurantism; if they had returned it because of its split infinitives and its slovenly drafting, and requested that it should be put into decent Jingalese so that they might pretend to understand it they would have had all the enlightened educationalists in the country with them. As it was they were against them.
"Oh, no, we don't do that in Jingalo. No Jingalese Church-woman may throw away her whole life on so problematical a benefit as a religious vow of celibacy. She may lease herself to Heaven for a given number of years, but freeholds are not allowed." "And you call that a Church!" cried the Countess.
The nuisance of Jingalese politics was this, that the political situation never would keep itself within the bounds of the ministerial program; and to-day not only had certain voting interests become obstreperous, but other interests which had not the vote were obstreperous also.
"Father," he said, "in all your life have you ever once been in a crowd formed part of it, I mean? Well, then, how can you tell? I have. There is plenty of indecency in a Jingalese crowd especially indecent suggestion; and it is crowds the theaters have to cater for." "Still, they have the Censor to reckon with." "The Censor!" exclaimed Max.
We need not go into it here those who read Jingalese history will find the Prime Minister's reasons published elsewhere; and it all really came only to this: "It is the duty of a government to keep in power; and if it cannot do justice without endangering its party majority, then justice cannot be done."
And those being the facts, how useless for satirists and cynics to pretend any longer that monarchy as an institution was not firmly and inextricably imbedded in the very life and habits of the Jingalese people?

The Prince uttered with correctness, though in a rather heavy German accent, the formula of royal greeting; and throughout the interview continued to speak in Jingalese.
Why it was so "forward" Charlotte afterwards found out; for the moment she only thought that she had broken the maternal conventions; things which she did not hold in much regard. Bad-as-Bad had now been in the enjoyment of its Jingalese visitors for over a month.
The Queen was very fond of receiving these spacious missives; though they contained little of importance they came to her from half the crowned heads of Europe, as well as from the most select circle of Jingalese aristocracy. They gave occupation to two secretaries, and were a daily reminder to her Majesty that, in her own country at any rate, she was the acknowledged leader of society.
"Spell it!" he said, and, at the King's dictation, altered his V into a W. "Foreigner?" he grunted; Jingalese names he could spell properly. "Of foreign extraction," said the King, "my great-grandfather came over to this country and was naturalized." "Oh, we don't want to hear about your great-grandfather!" said the sergeant, cutting him short.
