How interested he would be if the man who was one of his bitterest journalistic foes, who fought so venomously everything that he and his press stood for, and who was the editor-designate of the possible new anti-Pinkerton daily, should be proved to be the murderer of his son-in-law. What a scoop! The vulgar journalese slang slid into my mind strangely, as light words will in grave moments.
Accustomed to dictate extempore speeches on any subject whatever to his shorthand pupils, he was quite at his ease, quite master of his faculties, and self-satisfaction seemed to stand out on his brow like genial sweat while the banal phrases poured glibly from the cavern behind his jagged teeth; and each phrase was a perfect model of provincial journalese.
Heldar has yet to prove himself out of danger. 'Wow wow wow wow wow! said Dick, profanely. 'It's a clumsy ending and vile journalese, but it's quite true. And yet, he sprang to his feet and snatched at the manuscript, 'you scarred, deboshed, battered old gladiator! you're sent out when a war begins, to minister to the blind, brutal, British public's bestial thirst for blood.
She pointed to a sheet of newspaper on the desk. The commissioner handed it to Muller. It was an evening paper, dated G , September 24th, and it gave an elaborate account, in provincial journalese, of the discovery that morning of the body of John Siders, evidently murdered, in his lodgings.
"But I needn't worry it won't!" "You fire me as I've never been fired," I returned; "you make me determined to do or die." Then I asked: "Is it a kind of esoteric message?" His countenance fell at this he put out his hand as if to bid me good-night. "Ah, my dear fellow, it can't be described in cheap journalese!"
Overhaul the English art criticism of that time, from the cloudy rhetoric of Ruskin to the journalese of "'Arry," and you will hardly find a sentence that gives ground for supposing that the writer has so much as guessed what art is.
Oliver, white to the lips, with his wife kneeling now beside him, turned the page and read one more short paragraph, marked as being the latest news. "It is understood that the Government is in communication with Mr. Felsenburgh." "Ah! it is journalese," said Oliver, at last, leaning back. "Tawdry stuff! But but the thing!" Mabel got up, passed across to the window-seat, and sat down.
Curtis's standard of style was solely governed by the question of the repetition of the same word. It was an unforgivable sin to repeat a substantive, adjective, or verb without an intervening space of at least four inches. This, of course, leads to that particular form of "journalese" in which a cricket-ball becomes a "leathern missile" and so forth.
We told father, and when Doctor Bewick came that evening to say good-by we consulted, and here in this newspaper you have the result, put into Italian journalese by Carlo Guerra, whom we called in to aid us. He likes you so much, Aurora; did you know it? He met you at Antonia's. So there you have the whole story. I'm bitterly ashamed of Charlie, my dear, and I'm sorry about him, too.
You would be collecting data anent I mean about the Island of Caerulea." I sat up in surprise at this. "How on earth ?" I began. "Oh, I just jal guessed it. You being the only member of his Majesty's Government in whom I have any personal interest, I have always followed your career closely. Man, the journalese fairly soaks into the system.
