But let the dead bury their dead. There was now a new lord in Minchampstead; and every country Caliban was finding, to his disgust, that he had 'got a new master, and must perforce 'be a new man. Oh! how the squires swore and the farmers chuckled, when the 'Parvenu' sold the Minchampstead hounds, and celebrated his 1st of September by exterminating every hare and pheasant on the estate!
Lord Minchampstead smiled, and parried the question. 'There may be other dead-lift ameliorations, my young friend, besides a dead-lift of wages. So Lancelot thought, also; but Lord Minchampstead would have been a little startled could he have seen Lancelot's notion of a dead-lift. Lord Minchampstead was thinking of cheap bread and sugar.
'Oh, I understand, said Lord Minchampstead; 'Bracebridge's tongue is privileged, you know, Lord Vieuxbois, so you must not be angry. 'I don't see how all these painted windows, and crosses, and chanting, and the deuce and the Pope only know what else, are to make boys any better. 'We have it on the highest authority, said Vieuxbois, 'that pictures and music are the books of the unlearned.
We fancy ourselves the fixed and necessary element in society, to which all others are to accommodate themselves. "Given the rights of the few rich, to find the condition of the many poor." It seems to me that other postulate is quite as fair: "Given the rights of the many poor, to find the condition of the few rich." Lord Minchampstead laughed. 'If you hit us so hard, Mr.

Chalklands expressed certain confused notions that, in America, factory girls carried green silk parasols, put the legs of pianos into trousers, and were too prudish to make a shirt, or to call it a shirt after it was made, he did not quite remember which. 'It is a great pity, said Lord Minchampstead, 'that our factory girls are not in the same state of civilisation.
Warnes's method, either in England or Ireland. . . . John Bull, however, has not yet awakened sufficiently to listen to his overtures, but sits up in bed, dolefully rubbing his eyes, and bemoaning the evanishment of his protectionist dream altogether realising tolerably, he and his land, Dr. Watts' well- known moral song concerning the sluggard and his garden. Lord Minchampstead again prospers.
The conversation was interrupted by the servant; Lord Minchampstead was waiting at Mr. Armsworth's office. "Early bird, his lordship, and gets the worm accordingly," says Mark, as he hurries off to attend on his ideal hero. "You come over to the shop in half-an-hour, mind." "But why?" "Confound you, sir! you talk of having your reasons: I have mine!"
And a very noble person Lord Minchampstead did look; one to whom hats went off almost without their owners' will; tall and portly, with a soldier-like air of dignity and command, which was relieved by the good-nature of the countenance. Yet it was a good-nature which would stand no trifling.
"Does he think we was all fools afore he came here?" That was the rallying cry of the enemy, and sanitary reform was thrust out of sight. But Lord Minchampstead, who owned the neighbouring estates of Pentremochyn, on Mark Armsworth's advice, got Tom to make a report on the sanitary state of his cottages, and then acted on the information.
