"Indeed," Hilda answered, turning once more to her book. Lady Meadowcroft looked annoyed.
He shall not be long there. Hugh Peters spoke much in my behalf to the Committee; but they were resolved to lodge me in the Serjeant's custody. One Millington, a drunken member, was much my enemy; and so was Cawley and Chichester, a deformed fellow, unto whom I had done several courtesies.
Archer Millington has built a new ball-room, as I daresay you may have seen in the papers, and she has been kind enough to ask me for some hints oh, merely as a friend: I don't presume to do more than advise. But her decorator wants to do something with Cupids something light and playful, you understand.
Aberton declared that I put my hair in papers, and the stuffed Sir Henry Millington said I was a thread-paper myself. One blamed my riding a second my dancing a third wondered how any woman could like me, and a fourth said that no woman ever could.

The offer may be just as unacceptable, but it's of a kind to which it's customary to accord it a hearing. I should have made it a year ago the first day I saw you, I believe! but that, then, it wasn't in my power to make things easier for you. But now, you know, I've had a little luck. Since I painted Mrs. Millington things have changed.

"I'll qualify it if you like, and call you a cross between a worm and a brick."
John Millington Synge wrote "Riders to the Sea" on a second-hand $40 typewriter, and wore a celluloid collar. Richard Wagner made a living, during four lean years, arranging Italian opera arias for the cornet. Herbert Spencer sang bass in a barber-shop quartette and was in love with George Eliot.
