But Hilliard had before him the vision of the kudos which would accrue to him if he could unmask a far-reaching conspiracy, while to Merriman the freeing of Madeleine Coburn from the toils in which she seemed to have been enmeshed had become of more importance than anything else in the world.
That jumping into the seas was nothing to the Persians; they were not sung to it; it was not done in defense of home, or upon a motive of sudden passion, as hate or the like; but permanent elements in their character moved them to it quietly, as to the natural thing to do. But if Greeks had done it, with what kudos, like Thermopylae, it would have come down!
May our glorious Infantry gain everlasting Kudos and the Gunners, too, may the good use they made of their shell ration create a legend. The French official photographer has fixed a moment by snapping Gouraud and myself overlooking the Hellespont from the old battlements. Midnight. When I lay down in my little tent two hours ago the canvas seemed to make a sort of sounding board.
In the first place, Bellairs had made his last advance with a smile of gratified vanity, and I could see the creature was glorying in the kudos of an unusual position and secure of ultimate success. In the second, Trent had once more changed colour at the thousand leap, and his relief when he heard the answering fifty was manifest and unaffected.
Now when a woman leaves a social task which is commensurate with her abilities, and which asks from her personal effort and self-sacrifice, for a task which is quite beyond her abilities, but which, she thinks, will bring her personal kudos, shall we impute it to her for righteousness?
Lady Ingleby's mind had paused at the beginning of Jim's tirade. "They could not have taken Michael's kudos," she said. "It must have been patented. He was always most careful to patent all his inventions." "Eh, what?" said Jim Airth. "Oh, I see. 'Kudos, my dear girl, means 'glory'; not a new kind of explosive. And why do you call Lord Ingleby 'Michael'?"
All the Ministers then assembled to meet Prince Ching and Li and to hand over the final demands they had formulated. They were signed in French that same day, and the next telegraphed in Chinese word for word to the Court at Si-an. Strange to say the I.G. was not present at the meeting, and therefore reaped none of the kudos for his hard work. It was not for lack of invitation, however.
Then I'd have the freedom of the unmarried, with the kudos of the married. I could eat my cake and have it, too. Oh, to be a widow!" "Nancy!" said Louisa in a shocked tone. Nancy laughed, a mellow gurgle that rippled through the garden like a brook. "Oh, Louisa, I can shock you yet. That was just how you used to say 'Nancy' long ago, as if I'd broken all the commandments at once."
She shook hands with Stefan effusively. "Mind you get on with your next picture!" she cried in parting; "every one will be clamoring for your work!" "Oh, Stefan, isn't it awfully good of her?" exclaimed Mary, linking her arm through his. He was staring at his empty canvas. "Yes, splendid," he responded carelessly, "but of course she'll have the kudos, and her organization will benefit, too."
Of course they want a case that will bring hundreds if not thousands of pounds into their pockets. Besides they like the fight. They will have all the kudos of it and the fun, and you will pay the piper. For God's sake don't be led into it: that way madness lies." "But, Frank," he objected weakly, "how can I sit down under such an insult. I must do something." "That's another story," I replied.
