I saw and heard a lot of such rubbishy singing and dressing when I was in London." "Still, I think we ought to be proud of Harry." "Such nonsense! I'm more than a bit ashamed of him. I am that! You can't respect people who amuse you, like you do men who put their hands to the world's daily work. No, you can not, John. I would have been better suited if Harry had stuck to his painting business.
The music was still marked with her name, and was certainly not a present to Essad. The stamp of the English was on Uskub. Prices were high. One Turk offered us a rubbishy silver thing for fifteen dinars; and Jan laughed, saying that one could see the English had been there. Without blushing the man pointed to a twin article, saying he would let that go for five dinars.
They are rubbishy if you will; but the sentiment which struggles to find expression in them is far from despicable. No one smoked that evening; no one played billiards; no one cared for music; we just sat round the fire in a circle, and talked. "And where have you come from, Ideala?" was the first question. "From China," she answered. There was a general exclamation.
"And so you ought; it's not every pretty girl, like me, who will give up a new bonnet. Only look what a rubbishy affair this is," continued Nancy, giving her own a kick up in the air. "I wish I had a sovereign to give away," said Joey to Mrs Chopper; "I wish I had not said a word about the clothes." "Do as you like with your own money, my dear," said the bumboat-woman.
"It was very finely wrought, but in the middle hung a rubbishy broken medallion of gold." "You are a pretty judge of works of art! Then you overlooked the fine engraved gem which was set in that modest gold frame?" "Certainly not." "I assure you, little wise-head!" "No, my dearest." As she spoke she looked up saucily, as though she had achieved some great triumph. "I know very well what gems are.
"Come, girl, get your tea!" she called, as she replenished the pot from the kettle; "here's bread for you, better than that rubbishy stuff your mother makes; such bread as that I never see, it's that heavy it lies on your chest like a mill-stone."
She had a better time, and would have a better time still before she had done; better than Johnny, with the rubbishy books he was writing and making his firm bring out for him and feeling so pleased with. Jane knew she could write better stuff than Johnny could, any day. And her books would be in addition to Gideon, and babies, and other amusing things. Jane told Katherine Clare's story.
In France, in Germany, in Austria, in Holland, there are dramatic schools, and acting is regarded as an art. In England, keeping a theatre is supposed to be on all fours with keeping a shop. I should be sorry to add to the dustheap of rubbishy talk about Art, but thought and emotion, though it is legitimate to live by them, are not on all fours with other merchandise.
Now that we look at her closely and remember the gaiety of her in the old days, all gone now just because she has lost her babes, I find I won't be able to say nasty things about her after all. If she was too fond of her rubbishy children she couldn't help it. Look at her in her chair, where she has fallen asleep. The corner of her mouth, where one looks first, is almost withered up.
There was no place to put it safely, or if there had been, Poor Paul was too great a sloven to think of any such thing; and as it was in a somewhat rubbishy state to begin with, it was most likely that one of the cows had eaten it with her hay; and all that could be said was, that it would have been worse if it had been the Bible.
