He paid a special visit to the Promoter cottage, and putting aside Mistress Caird with a polite wave of the hand which greatly impressed her, he demanded to see Maggie alone. He told her frankly all that he had heard, and the girl was astounded. There was just truth enough with every lie to carry the lie through.
As to their dishonest practices, these are conspicuous and striking, because "lumped," but no worse than the silent, steady aggregate of cheating; by which their constituent firms and individuals, formerly consumed the consumer without his special wonder. THE promoter of organized charity protests against "the wasteful and mischievous method of undirected relief."
He was a promoter of the highest type, the business man who recognized a great human need and a great opportunity for service. Without his efforts the scientific discoveries of Thomson could scarcely have been put to practical use. The success of the first cable inspired others. In 1869 a cable from France to the United States was laid from the Great Eastern.
Unhappiness is no great promoter of the courtesies of life, and if she was conscious of wrong-doing, she was far from being on the defensive. "Yes," he answered, "I am ill. I am sick at heart." "If you will drink coffee, and keep on smoking those strong cigars" He eyed her so intently over the rim of his shaking cup that she left the sentence uncompleted.
And Bettles, another old-timer of standing, had met him at Fort o' Yukon nine years before. So Dawson, ever prone to look askance at the casual comer, received him with open arms. Especially was he a favorite with the women. As a promoter of pleasures and an organizer of amusements he took the lead, and it quickly came to pass that no function was complete without him.
But is there not, let us in the end ask ourselves, here and there at least, a man who is of real account in the world of affairs, and who is not simply a luke-warm Platonic friend or an opportunist advocate but an impassioned promoter of the woman's suffrage movement? One knows quite well that there is.
In this brilliant little coterie at The Hague was one Madame Dunoyer, a writer of court gossip and a social promoter of ability, separated from her husband for her husband's good. Francois crossed swords with her in an encounter of wit, was worsted, but got even by making love to her; and later he made love to her daughter, a beautiful girl of about his own age.
Contemporary with decorative woodwork of Moorish design there was also a great deal of carving, and of furniture made, after designs brought from Italy and the North of Europe; and Mr. He was the chief promoter of the Italian style, and the choir of the Cathedral of Toledo, where he worked so much, is the finest specimen of the kind in Spain.
On the other hand, the amount of work that is put in to secure them is infinitely greater than happens in the case of the English midwife promoter; and if the enterprise is a failure, then the promoter goes without his profits.
There were no earmarks of the promoter about him, in spite of the fact that the enterprise of which he stood as the head and front was in reality the most gigantic piece of promotion engineering the world had seen. On the contrary, Gorham was the refined man of affairs, confident in himself and in the certainty of his strength.
