We can almost forgive Charles Reade's later flippant creations of women, in whom moral weakness is considered as great a charm as physical delicacy, when we remember the charming picture of health and vigor which he first gave us in "Christie Johnstone." But while this admirable modesty of nature is the finest grace of humanity, yet there are limits which cannot safely be overpassed.
"Why didn't you let him come along?" "Because I don't like Danes' employers." "His employers?" Harry repeated, puzzled. "Yes; he is employed by the Colthwaite Company." "What?" Hazelton started in astonishment. "How do you know that, Tom?" "I don't know it, but I'm sure of it, just the same," was Reade's answer. "It maybe so," Harry agreed. "What makes you suspect him?"
Readers who are familiar with such books as Marcus Clark's "For the term of his natural life," and Charles Reade's "It is never too late to mend," will require no further description of the horrors of "the vengeance system" which was supposed to be the only rational method of dealing with criminals in the days of the convict settlements.
Though none of Reade's force was armed, the young engineer knew that he could depend upon them. Followed by his adherents, Duff took a few quick strides forward. This brought him face to face with Reade's labors, of whom now more than two hundred were present. "Are you men or squaws?" called, Duff loudly. "I have brought the stuff over here for a merry night of it.
An excellent remedy for the nonsense which still clings about religion may be found in two books: Cotter Monson's 'Service of Man, which was published as long ago as 1887, and has since been re-issued by the Rationalist Press Association in its well-known sixpenny series, and J. Allanson Picton's 'Man and the Bible. Similarly, those who wish to acquire a sane view of the relations between man and God would do well to read Winwood Reade's 'Martyrdom of Man."
"Am I to infer, Prenter, that you are going to follow your occasional tactics and try to laugh me out of my decision as president of the company?" "Oh, nothing of the sort, I assure you," hastily protested the treasurer. But he found chance to drive another wink Tom Reade's way. The young chief engineer could not but feel that an ally had suddenly come his way.
"If you can wait that long we shall be charmed to have your company," Tom assured him as the young engineers stepped inside. Frank Danes half started as they left him. "Reade's tone sounded a bit peculiar," muttered the newcomer to himself. "I wonder why? Perhaps I have forced myself a little too much upon him and Reade has taken a dislike to me."
So silent had been the approach of Tom and his waif companion that those below had not perceived them. Moreover, judging from the expressions on the faces of the people almost at Reade's feet, they were all too deeply absorbed in their own business to have any eyes or ears for outside matters.
Reade's appointment by the home government. This decision was communicated to the House of Assembly by message on February 3rd, 1846. The despatch from the colonial office, upon which the lieutenant-governor acted, was written on March 31st, 1845, and must have been received by him at Fredericton not later than the last of April. But notwithstanding this despatch Mr.
We leave every one of our readers to enjoy his own selection. But the question has been answered, in his own way, by a living novelist. Mr. Walter Besant declares that the greatest novel in the English language is Charles Reade's The Cloister and the Hearth.
