Got a car, as travelling companion the local editor, and driven by a knowledgable man, followed in the wake of the police, seventy of them, toward the scene of the disturbance to be. The police had one hour the start of us. It was a dim day of clouds and watery blinks of sunshine. As we drove along all historical spots were pointed out to me, being a stranger, with great politeness.
If yo', sir, or any other knowledgable, patient man come to me, and says he'll larn me what the words mean, and not blow me up if I'm a bit stupid, or forget how one thing hangs on another why, in time I may get to see the truth of it; or I may not. I'll not be bound to say I shall end in thinking the same as any man.
But he had behaved disgracefully, and his fall was a signal vindication of God's justice. How else could one account for it? The man had been a wise fisherman, as knowledgable as any in Ardevora.

The man pointed it out: it was almost the first word he had spoken since they had left Hollingford. 'It's the old nursery. They carried him there. The squire broke down at the stair-foot, and they took him to the readiest place. I'll be bound for it the squire is there hisself, and old Robin too.

The doctor was a patient man as well as a wise one he left the room without a word.
"I can't stop discoursin' here," Peter answered. "I came to ask would your mother, being a knowledgable woman, step over for a bit and see can she tell at all what's the matter with Ellen and the child. There was a doctor there, but he seemed to do no good, and Ellen said your mother would know more than all the doctors, so I came to ask would she come.
It was Uncle Matthew who urged John to read Shakespeare "a very plain-spoken, knowledgable man, Shakespeare!" and Lord Byron "a terrible bad lord, John, but a fine courter of girls and a grand poet!" and Herrick "a queer sort of minister, that man Herrick, but a good poet all the same!" and Dickens. Dickens was the incomparable one who filled dull streets with vital figures: Sam Weller and Mr.
Balfour was about to introduce the unworkable Bill which was clearly not intended to pass into law. "My information," writes Lord Randolph, "is that a large, influential, and to some extent independent, section of Tories kick awfully against Irish Local Government, and do not mean to vote for it. This comes from a very knowledgable member of the Government outside the Cabinet.
"A man of the standing of the chief commissioner would not speak about him as Sir George did unless he had very excellent reason." "Tell me some more about what you saw," he said.
