To the intense satisfaction of Unionists, Mr. C.F.G. Masterman, who had just been promoted to the Cabinet, lost his seat in East London when he sought re-election in February, and a day or two later the Government suffered another defeat in Scotland.
When Joseph Finsbury and his brother Masterman were little lads in white-frilled trousers, their father a well-to-do merchant in Cheapside caused them to join a small but rich tontine of seven-and-thirty lives.
Well as we know Crusoe's Island the actual scenery of it is not half so much impressed as that even, for instance, of Masterman Ready's it is either of the human figures Crusoe's own grotesque bedizenment, the savages, Friday, the Spaniards, Will Atkins or of the works of man the stockade, the boat, and the rest that we think.
With a gesture as of throwing down a pair of reins before him, he rose, and walked to the window. "You kin understand, Tommy, why a little trip around the world 'ud do me good. Ef you can't go with me, well and good. But go I must." "Not before luncheon, I hope," said a very sweet voice, as Blanche Masterman suddenly stood before them.
Her only consolation was to feel herself the Masterman Ready of the shipwreck. And sometimes a merry train Comes upon us from the lane All through April, May, or June, Every gleaming afternoon; All through April, May, and June, Boys and maidens, birds and bees, Airy whisperings from all trees.

The Cardinal's air was of one who announces that he is going into the country for a few days. There was not the faintest sign even of excitement in his manner or voice. Before the priest could speak the Cardinal went on. "Your Eminence, I have told you what confidence I rest in Monsignor Masterman. He has all the affairs of the English Church in his hands.
Uncle Masterman must die some day; as long as Uncle Joseph was alive, he might have died any day; but we're out of all that trouble now: there's no sort of limit to the game that I propose it can be kept up till Kingdom Come. 'If I could only see how you meant to set about it' sighed John. 'But you know, Morris, you always were such a bungler.
'But suppose, objected John, who was considerably impressed by his brother's vehemence, 'suppose that Uncle Masterman is alive after all, and lives ten years longer; must I rot here all that time? 'Of course not, responded Morris, in a more conciliatory tone; 'I only ask a month at the outside; and if Uncle Masterman is not dead by that time you can go abroad.
It was nearly midnight before Monsignor Masterman pushed away the book that lay before him and leaned back in his chair. He felt sick and dazed at what he had read. First, he had studied with extreme care the constitution of the Heresy-Court, and had sent off a couple of hours ago the formal letters to the Dominican Provincial and two other priests whom he had selected.
"No, Monsignor. You know more than I do, now. . . . Well, I'll tell Mr. Hardy you'll see him. Number one parlour?" "That'll do very well. Thanks." It was growing towards dusk as Monsignor Masterman passed down the corridor a few minutes later; and he paused a moment to glance out upon the London street through the tall window at the end.
