He handed out the ladies one after another, as though his life had been passed in handing out ladies, as, indeed, it probably had in handing them out and handing them in; and when Mrs. Val's 'private' carriage passed on, he was just as courteous to the Misses Neverbend and Katie in their cab, as he had been to the greater ladies who had descended from the more ambitious vehicle.
I shall be happy to meet you here at any hour to-morrow, and to receive the Britannulan archives from your hands. You, Mr Neverbend, will always be regarded as the father of your country 'Roma patrem patriæ Ciceronem libera dixit." With this the two gentlemen left the room.
Jack's face was so nearly healed that Mrs Neverbend had been brought to believe entirely in the efficacy of violent exercise for cuts and bruises.
Neverbend for a sober quadrille, and Katie also was close by with her partner. 'Dreadful news indeed! 'What is it? said Linda. 'A man can die but once, to be sure; but to be killed in such a manner as that, is certainly very sad. 'Killed! who has been killed? said Neverbend. 'Well, perhaps I shouldn't say killed. He only died in the cab as he went home.
He would sooner have remained up all night than have gone to bed before his colleague came back. Three days Alaric Tudor had now passed with Mr. Neverbend, and not only three days but three evenings also! A man may endure to be bored in the course of business through the day, but it becomes dreadful when the infliction is extended to post-prandial hours.
'A Boeotian crew! but, nevertheless, they know on which side their bread is buttered and in general it goes hard with them but they butter it on both sides. And how does the faithful Neverbend conduct himself? Talk of Boeotians, if any man ever was born in a foggy air, it must have been my friend Fidus. Alaric merely shrugged his shoulders, and laughed slightly.
'Aequam memento' &c., &c.! if thou couldst but have thought of it, O Neverbend, who need'st must some day die. But Neverbend did not think of it. How few of us do remember such lessons at those moments in which they ought to be of use to us! He was all but lifted into the tub, and then out of it, and then again into another, till he reached the upper world, a sight piteous to behold.
"Considering your age and experience, Jack, don't you think that you're taking too much upon yourself to say whether people will allow or will not allow the executive of the country to perform their duty?" "If Jack isn't old," said Mrs Neverbend, "I, at any rate, am older, and I say the same thing." "Of course I only said what I thought," continued Jack.
I was told that by a gentleman who has been much longer in the service than Mr. Tudor, and who understands all its bearings. She here alluded to Fidus Neverbend. 'I cannot say, said Gertrude. 'I do not think Mr. Tudor has quite made up his mind yet. 'Well, my dear, I'll tell you fairly what I think about it. You know the regard I have for you and Mr. Tudor.
I'll be bound he will not return without a few Mary Janes in his pocket-book. He'll be a fool if he does, I know. 'Why, that's the very mine we are down here about. 'And that's the very reason why he'll purchase Mary Janes. He has an opportunity of knowing their value. Oh, let Neverbend alone. He is not so young as you are, my dear fellow. 'Young or old, I think you mistake his character.
