"To go back to our conversation, doctor," Fred began while he waited for the first steam to blow off his coffee; "why don't you make up your mind to go to Washington? There'd be no fight made against you. I needn't say the United Breweries would back you. There'd be some KUDOS coming to us, too; backing a reform candidate." Dr.
I shall stop in this neighbourhood and work out the case it'll do me a lot of good in all sorts of ways experience work the interest in it and the kudos I shall win if I get my man off as I will! So I shall unashamedly ask you to give me house-room for that time." "Of course," replied Bent. "The house is yours only too glad, old chap. But what a queer case it is!
So they weave for themselves with words and for a while inhabit a palace of delights, temple at once and theatre, where they fill the round of the world's dignities, and feast with the gods, exulting in Kudos.
"Tell me what you said," asked the Princess eagerly; and Jennie related all that had passed between them over the telephone. "And do you mean to say calmly that you are going to give that man the right to use the astounding information you have acquired, and allow him to accept complacently all the kudos that such a discovery entitles you to?" "Why, certainly," replied Jennie.
There are indeed grave suspicions that the above name is only an alias, the address being also probably false, for the genuine Charity's place of origin is said to be the home rather than the office.

So much is this the case, that even when she does not in any way perform this function there is still a curious tendency for the kudos of the function still to hang about her, and for her mere potentiality in the direction of a duty which she may never fulfil, to be confused in her own estimation and that of society with the actual fulfilment of that function.
If you were the least bit off balance it knocked you flat. It was the most extraordinary cannon ever seen in Africa, and it inspired more respect, acquired me more kudos than even my beard." "So that's why you wear it!" she murmured. "What?" "Nothing; go on." "Just the sight of that awe-inspiring piece of ordnance took me the length of the Congo without the least difficulty."
It was true he had not followed up and completed the case against the syndicate, but this was not his business. Smuggling was not dealt with by Scotland Yard. It was a matter for the Customs Department. But if only it had been forged notes! He heaved a sigh as he thought of the kudos which might have been his.
A wink's as good as a nod from you. You've been on the spot and the Yard doesn't want to make any mistakes, you know." Poirot nodded gravely. "That is exactly what I thought. Well, I will tell you this. Use your warrant: Arrest Mr. Inglethorp. But it will bring you no kudos the case against him will be dismissed at once! Comme ca!" And he snapped his fingers expressively.
