Edward FitzGerald adds to this his own note: "Miss Ridout I remember an elegant spinster; friend of my mother's. About 1825 she had been at Sidmouth, and known Crabbe." The son quotes some very ardent verses belonging to this period, but not assignable to any particular charmer, such as one set beginning: "And wilt thou never smile again; Thy cruel purpose never shaken?
If they had not heard things concerning his health, and other things, they would still feel safe. He seems the only calm man to be found in the hall but is the calm aberration? A conference in the corner of the platform, while the fourth ballot is progressing, is held between Senators Whitredge and Greene, Mr. Ridout and Mr. Manning.
The fact that he is in town tends to make the circumstance more probable." "He's just been in to see Hilary," said Mr. Ridout. "You don't tell me!" said the senator, pausing as he lighted his cigar; "I was under the impression that they were not on speaking terms." "They've evidently got together now, that " said Mr. Ridout. "I wonder how old Hilary would feel about it.
The caverns he labelled respectively Appropriations, Railroad, Judiciary, and their guardians were unmistakably the Honourables Messrs. Bascom, Botcher, and Ridout. The greatest cavern of all he called "The Senate." If you listen, you can hear the music of the stream of bills as it is rising hopefully and flowing now: "Mr.
"How are you, Mr. Vane?" he said. "I thought I'd drop in to shake hands with you, especially as I have business with the Speaker, and heard he was here. But I'm glad to have met you for many reasons. I want you to be one of the vice-presidents of the State Economic League it won't cost you anything. Ridout has agreed to let his name go on."
Bascom has had a front seat for the last twenty years he has been uniformly lucky in drawing. He is easily heard by the members on the back seats, while Mr. Bascom is not. Mr. Ridout, the capital lawyer, is in the House this year, and singularly enough has a front seat likewise. It was Mr. Crewe's misfortune to draw number 415, in the extreme corner of the room, and next the steam radiator.
Ridout and a few other conscientious members who do not believe in cheating the State, but to-night all is bustle and confusion, and at least four hundred members are pushing down the aisles and squeezing past each other into the narrow seats, and reading the State Tribune or the ringing words of the governor's inaugural which they find in the racks on the back of the seats before them.
Bascom, Botcher, and Ridout had done enough of blocking and hacking and hewing to satisfy those doughty defenders of the bridge, that a slight, unprepossessing-looking young man with spectacles arose to make a motion. The Honourable Jacob Botcher, with his books and papers under his arm, was already picking his way up the aisle, nodding genially to such of the faithful as he saw; Mr.
You ought to hold him in he can't work as hard as he used to." "I think you'll find, Mr. Ridout," answered Austen, deliberately, "that he'll perform what's required of him with his usual efficiency." Mr. Ridout followed Austen's figure with his eyes until he was hidden by a turn of the stairs. Then he whistled. "I can't make that fellow out," he exclaimed. "Never could.
