Then he took the folded sheets and went on to the restaurant. He rarely read a news-sheet. Mostly, his information about the world that existed outside the walls of the Institute came from the televised newscasts.
On the dirty table stood a milk-jug with a news-sheet folded and laid across its top, a half-loaf of bread, and a plate of meat but of what kind we did not pause to examine. It looked nauseous enough. A brindled cat made a dash past us and upstairs. Its unexpected charge greatly unsettled Mr. Trapp. "It daunts me I declare it do!" he confided hoarsely.
From the left, from behind the west end of the cathedral clock a continual stream poured in, met by two others, the one, down the avenue, of figures that ran and gesticulated, the other from the direction of Victoria Street. And from the whole arose gusts of cheering, marking the pauses in the speech of some tiny figure which, mounted beside the news-sheet, appeared to be delivering a speech.
Francesca was, in her own way, fonder of Comus than of anyone else in the world, and if he had been browning his skin somewhere east of Suez she would probably have kissed his photograph with genuine fervour every night before going to bed; the appearance of a cholera scare or rumour of native rising in the columns of her daily news-sheet would have caused her a flutter of anxiety, and she would have mentally likened herself to a Spartan mother sacrificing her best-beloved on the altar of State necessities.
The Kalayan publicist was also convicted of treason against the state; they banished him to a desert island, where for many hours daily he had to multiply copies of his news-sheet that issue which contained the declaration of war and at evening to burn them all.

Rupert betrayed no emotion; he drew from the inner pocket of his coat a crushed news-sheet. "Deceived there, as well as everywhere else, poor little cousin," he said. "And did the scoundrel say so?
Nosey stared at her and then back at the newspaper. "Not me!" he retorted, and took possession of her hand. "That's the King's pardon," said Janie, touching the halfpenny news-sheet with transparent fingers. "'Tain't no use you comin' 'ere no more, 'cos I won't see you. I'll ask 'em at the door not to let you in." Nosey knew that note of indomitable obstinacy in the weak voice.
But I fell for the news-sheet dope, an' set up that cursed recreation shanty. Now we're goin' to git trouble." "How?" Bull's ejaculation was sharp. "They hold meetings there.
