"My other novel," Hewet continued, "is about a young man who is obsessed by an idea the idea of being a gentleman. He manages to exist at Cambridge on a hundred pounds a year. He has a coat; it was once a very good coat. But the trousers they're not so good. Well, he goes up to London, gets into good society, owing to an early-morning adventure on the banks of the Serpentine.
The Queen Bee, thinking this a capital opportunity, spoke with almost alarmed eagerness, "O yes, Fred, you will get on famously; you will enjoy having my mamma so much, and you are so much better already, and Philip Carey manages you so well " "Manages!" said Fred; "ay, and I'll tell you how, Queenie; just as the man managed his mare when he fed her on a straw a day.
I keep my eye on them for a while at first, and they soon find out that they're not to fly either over the garden fence or the orchard fence. They roam over the farm and pick up what they can get. There's a good deal of sense in hens, if one manages them properly. I love them because they are such good mothers."
"Sibyl manages those two great houses herself. Frank gives her some stupendous sum a year and she is proud of the fact that she never runs over it. You know how she entertains. "I should never dare admit to them or to the professor if he asked my opinion on that sort of thing and it had to come out that I was too lazy and too incompetent to manage my own little fortune.
The lads call him 'Old King Coffee' a memory I suppose of the Ashantee War. Any one will tell you where he lives. He is something of a witch-doctor as well as 'king, and manages to make a little out of charms, philtres and such like, I'm told enough to keep him in rum anyway. He has a name too as a preacher among the Holy Jumpers! but he's getting too old to do much preaching nowadays.
He says, says he, 'That little girl can do more to keep the peace in the Lane 'an the best man on the force, says he. 'It's prime wonderful how she manages it. An' I up an' tells him nothin' wonderful 'bout it at all. It's 'cause everybody loves you, little Glory, an' is ashamed not to be just as good as they know you think they be.
That discussion was terminated by the Act of 1844. By that Act the currency manages itself; the entire working is automatic. The Bank of England plainly does not manage cannot even be said to manage the currency any more.
He is rather tall and athletic, but never has been known to do any thing that would give him credit for bravery. Several times he has been on the brink of losing his office for giving too much latitude to his craving for perquisites; yet, by some unaccountable means, he manages to hold on.
Nothing is more common than a certain insincerity which leads men to profess and seemingly believe sentiments which they do not and cannot act upon. The stout squire who prides himself upon his obstinacy, and whose pretty daughter manages him as easily as she manages her poodle, is a favorite character in English comedy.
It's a heap better to work into the ropes here, and learn how the governor manages things; because you understand, before a great while I expect to see my name on the sign with his. Archibald Graylock & Son, won't look half bad, eh? After that I can take it easier, you see. And when the whole business comes my way, after the old man cashes in his checks, why I expect to travel and enjoy life.
