The same glance showed them another thing namely, that just beside this little shanty was one of the notice-boards Mugford had mentioned, warning the public that persons found trespassing on the railway would be prosecuted. "Come along," cried Jack Vance; "let's bolt."
One begins to see just all the places where they belong to somebody else, notice-boards struck up everywhere warning one to keep off the grass. And that's a nuisance. It raises Old Nick in one, and makes one long to commit all manner of wickedness which would never have entered one's head otherwise."
Not long after we left England, "Piccadilly," my sister wrote me, was "placarded with Marcella," the name appearing on the notice-boards of most of the evening papers a thing which never happened to me before or since; and when we arrived in Rome, the content-bills of the London newspapers, displayed in the Piazza di Spagna, announced her no less flamingly.
The fate of Warsaw moved the enemy to put up notice-boards announcing the event, one of which had on one side 'Warschau Gefallen, and on the other, apparently reversable by a string, 'Gott Strafe England. With commendable caution, however, they were planted so near their own trench that it required a field glass to read them.
Therefore, they did not need to ask specific leave to go visiting; and school rules were strict on that point. He had merely thrown open his grounds to them; and, since they were lawful Bug-hunters, their extended bounds ran up to his notice-boards in the combe and his Lodge-gates on the hill. They were amazed at their own virtue.
What more could be required by a happy and contented people? Somehow, the news does not seem to be received with any extraordinary rejoicing; a group of idlers gaze at the decree and pass on, shrugging their shoulders listlessly. Along the Corso notice-boards are hung out of balconies to let, but the notices grow mildewed, and the balconies remain untaken.
They teach them to shout and to throw out their chests. Just as they teach them to read notice-boards and not think about politics. Their very ribs are not their own. My Herr Heinrich is comparatively a liberal thinker. He asked me the other day, 'But why should I give myself up to philology? But then, he reflected, 'it is what I have to do." Mr.
At this point there opens a tempting path, and along it historical precedents, like a forest of notice-boards, urge us to go. At the end of the vista poses the figure of Napoleon with "Cæsarism" written beneath it.
The notice-boards of the railway stations are freely placarded with the full text in English and Dutch, beginning with 'Whereas a state of war exists between the Government of her Majesty and the Governments of the South African Republic and of the Orange Free State ... continuing to enjoin good and loyal behaviour on all, detailing the pains and penalties for disobedience, and ending with 'God save the Queen. Both races have recorded their opinions on their respective versions: the British by underlining the penalties, the Dutch by crossing out the first word of 'God Save the Queen. It is signed 'A. Milner, and below, in bitter irony, 'W.P. Schreiner.
"It's nothin' to make fun of, young gentlemen. I 'ave to go to the 'Ead with the charges. An' an' you mayn't be aware, per'aps, that I was followin' you this afternoon; havin' my suspicions." "Did ye see the notice-boards?" croaked McTurk, in the very brogue of Colonel Dabney. "Ye've eyes in your head. Don't attempt to deny it. Ye did!" said Beetle. "A sergeant!
