Dick Lomas was a barrister, who, after contesting two seats unsuccessfully, had got into Parliament at the last general election and had made already a certain name for himself by the wittiness of his speeches and the bluntness of his common sense. He had neither the portentous gravity nor the dogmatic airs which afflicted most of his legal colleagues in the house.
Elder George Albert Lomas writes: "Any one seeking admission as a member is required, ere we can give any encouragement at all, to settle all debts and contracts to the satisfaction of creditors, and then our rule is If candid seekers after salvation come to us, we neither accept nor reject them; we admit them, leaving the Spirit of Goodness to decide as to their sincerity, to bless their efforts, if such, or to make them very dissatisfied if hypocritical.
I cannot say that these exceptions proved wholly that an ironclad observance of the rule would have been best, but I am sure of it in one instance. A man named Lomas, who claimed to be a Marylander, offered me his services as a spy, and coming highly recommended from Mr. Stanton, who had made use of him in that capacity, I employed him.

'I'm rather pleased to hear you say that. 'Why? asked Dick, on his guard. 'We're all so dreadfully tired of being goddesses.
Having inherited from an uncle a ranch in the West, his desire to see this occasioned his first voyage from England in the interval between leaving Eton and going up to Oxford; and it was then he made acquaintance with Richard Lomas, who had remained his most intimate friend.
The little American was almost the only one of her friends with whom she did not feel shy. The apartness which her nationality gave her, made Mrs. Crowley more easy to talk to. She was too fond of Lucy to pity her. The general election came before it was expected, and Robert Boulger succeeded to the seat which Dick Lomas was only too glad to vacate. Bobbie was very charming.
'Oh, how stupid of me! she cried. 'I quite forgot to tell you why I telegraphed to you the other day. 'I know, he retorted. 'Do you? Why? 'Because you're the most disgraceful flirt I ever saw in my life, he answered promptly. She opened her eyes wide with a very good imitation of complete amazement. 'My dear Mr. Lomas, have you never contemplated yourself in a looking-glass?
'You see, I know that you made a specialty of emeralds. 'Then you meant to ask me all the time? 'I confess it to my shame: I did, he laughed. 'Oh, I wish I'd known that before. 'What would you have done? 'I'd have refused you again, you silly. Dick Lomas and Mrs.
