Carlyle, whom everyone else admired and adored, eating her heart out because she could not get him to value her company; there was not much that was cleansing about all that! The cleansing came when she was dead, and when he saw what he had done." "I expect they have made it up by now," said Kaye. "You're quite right!" said Father Payne. "It matters less with those great vivid people.
"Give you four thousand!" exclaimed Mr. Kaye, with a little unctuous laugh. "Do you suppose I keep such a balance as that at my banker's?" "I suppose that you can give me the money if you like." "I might be able to get it for you." "Yes; that's a kind of humbug a hundred years old.
Of course, there are men who don't really feel the call of life. Look at our friend Kaye! If Kaye had to live in London lodgings, he wouldn't mind a bit, if he could get to the Museum Reading-Room he only wants books and his own work he doesn't want company or music or art or talk or friends. He is wholly indifferent to nasty food or squalor. Poverty is not a real evil to him.
It is well known that the thoughtful writings of Mr. Helps are literally "Essays written in the Intervals of Business." Many of our best living authors are men holding important public offices such as Sir Henry Taylor, Sir John Kaye, Anthony Trollope, Tom Taylor, Matthew Arnold, and Samuel Warren. Mr. Proctor the poet, better known as "Barry Cornwall," was a barrister and commissioner in lunacy.

He was grateful for his mother's abetment, although it somewhat surprised him; but his mother was the woman of whom he had the least comprehension.
Kaye, whatever may have been her sensations, rose with an absent smile and composedly transferred herself to an equally distinguished neighborhood. "I wonder if she has ever tried to condense rudeness into an epigram," said Isabel viciously, pausing in her narrative. Lady Cecilia shook expressively. "At least she has not made an art of it," she said. "They never do."
Probably this was the most favorable moment for a repulse that he could have chosen. She was sincerely fond of him and distrusted Mrs. Kaye as much as she disliked her. "Very well," she said. "I will see what I can do." Mrs. Kaye admitted her promptly and presented an unstained front, although her color was lower than usual.
It was actually distributed by the Court of Directors; I have therefore a right to consider it a fair representation of their views of what was done, especially as the Chairman of the Court has given me a copy of the book. Mr. Kaye, in referring to the double Government which existed in Bengal in 1772, makes use of these expressions.
When Gussy Kaye died, the predominant feeling in her bosom was rage at his inconsiderateness in leaving the world before his father, and nothing behind him but a courtesy prefix which she could not even use on her cards.
