McCarthy's light handling of his theme, the alertness and freshness of his touch, are admirably suited to the picture he paints of contemporary London life. Daily News. "The Dictator" is bright, sparkling, and entertaining.... Few novelists are better able to describe the political and social eddies of contemporary society in the greatest city in the world than Mr.
She scarcely ate any dinner, and in the course of a short time retired to her own room, which commanded a view of the way by which he should approach the house, where she watched, casement up, until she heard a foot in the avenue, which, however, her acute ear, well accustomed to McCarthy's, soon told her was not that of her lover.
In the midst of the festivities at the wake held over The Home, it perplexes the mourners to learn that some of those domestic science bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture excite a demand for a million copies. It is a wake like Mike McCarthy's. Mike was lookin' iligant As he rested there in state. But When the fun was at its height McCarthy sat up straight.
"You have guessed it the first time," cried Jane. "Green goggles! Do you see that, girls?" cried Harriet excitedly. "They are, indeed," breathed the guardian. "Well, I swum! Where'd you find them?" questioned the guide, interested, but failing to catch the real significance of Jane McCarthy's discovery. "Oh-h-h-h!" chorused the Meadow-Brook Girls.
"But the strongest inducement I had to visit America was the circumstance of Kate McCarthy's having emigrated to that country, and a desire which I had long felt of gaining her affections and, if possible, making her my wife; for notwithstanding all the promises of the Castle, I was fearful that the Chancery suit would go against me a suspicion heightened by the conviction of my lawyer.
Past Richardson where the next night is spent, a decayed mining and trading town that dates back to the stampedes of 1905-6 when it was thought the upper Tanana would prove rich in gold, past Tenderfoot Creek on which the discoveries were made, past the mouth of the Big Delta with the great bluff on the opposite shore and the rushing black water at its foot that never entirely closes all the winter, and on the other hand the wide barrens of the Big Delta itself giving the whole fine sweep of the Alaskan range, we came at length to McCarthy's, the last telegraph station on the river, for the line strikes across country thence to Valdez following the government trail, and there spent another night, and here we leave the government-made trail and take to the river surface and the wilderness.
The stores being all landed and piled up on the shore some little distance beyond high-water mark, Mr McCarthy's portion of the crew then proceeded to take the raft to pieces and carry up the timbers of which it was composed likewise to a place of safety, for fear lest the waves should bear them away in the night-time when the tide again came in; besides which, the material was wanted for other purposes as Mr Meldrum had foreseen when causing the raft to be constructed although it was now too late in the day to utilise it to that end, for, even while they were landing the things, the evening had closed in and it was nearly dark.
Molesworth's History of England; Miss Martineau's History of England; Justin McCarthy's Life of Sir Robert Peel; Alison's History of Europe, all of which should be read in connection with the Lives of contemporary statesmen, especially of Cobden, Bright, and Lord John Russell.
Faith, he was a broth of a boy, the pride of all the McCarthy's," tears welled in his eyes as he continued, "just three years younger than mysilf, a light, ruddy, nately put togither lad as iver left the bogs; and talk about fightin'! the divil was niver in him but in a fight, and thin you'd think he was all divil.
With what a broad and tender philosophy he clothes them! how he identifies himself with the mouse and regards himself as its fellow mortal! So have Emerson's "Titmouse" and "Humble-Bee" a better excuse for being than their natural history. So have McCarthy's "For a Bunny" and "The Snake," and "To a Worm."
