"As a matter of fact, Selby-Harrison it's a hyphenated surname is a man." "Oh, is it?" said Titherington, using the neuter pronoun because, I suppose, he was still uncertain about Selby-Harrison's sex. "I wish," I said, "that I knew exactly what they've done." "It doesn't in the least matter to us. So long as she's the kind of young woman who does something we shall be satisfied."
They'd simply laugh at your Archdeacons." "Well," said Titherington, "I suppose that's all I am to get out of you." "That's all. If there was anything else I could suggest " Titherington picked up his pencil again. "I'll try Selby-Harrison," he said, "and if he knows the name " "If he doesn't, get him to wire to his son for it. He certainly knows." "I will."
I gathered that there was reason for precipitancy more serious than the by-laws of the steamboat company. "I am confident," I said, "that Selby-Harrison is capable of carrying on the work of exterminating bishops." "It's not that either," said Lalage. "The fact is that we have come to Lisbon on business, not for pleasure. You've probably guessed that already." "I feared it.
I was beginning to hope that the Anti-Tommy-Rot Gazette had failed to catch the eye ought I to say the ear? of the public. This would of course be a disappointment to Lalage, perhaps also to Hilda and Selby-Harrison, but it would be a great relief to me.
Ord. would have run its course. I wished to emphasize the fact that I wanted Lalage to bring Selby-Harrison, whom I had never seen. I underlined his name; but the hall porter to whom I gave the telegram told me that the post-office regulations do not allow the underlining of words.
My original subscription carries me on from one society to another. Selby-Harrison arranged about that." "I should have thought," said Thormanby sulkily, "that you'd had warnings enough. You will never learn sense even if you live to be a hundred." I saw the Archdeacon next day. He tackled the subject of my defeat in East Connor without hesitation. He has even less tact than Thormanby.
And you told me distinctly that ordinary members were not expected to do anything except subscribe." "Go on, Hilda," said Lalage. I suppose Lalage must be president of the A.T.R.S. and be possessed of autocratic powers. Hilda crossed the road without a murmur. Selby-Harrison, I have no doubt, would have acted in the same way if he had been here.
I therefore enclose a carefully drawn list of the necessary and desirable qualifications for that office." "You have the list?" I said. "Yes. She sent the thing. She has cheek enough for anything." "Selby-Harrison drew it up, so if there's anything objectionable in it he's the person you ought to blame, not Lalage." I felt that I was keeping my promise to Miss Battersby.
"Is Selby-Harrison here?" "No. He wrote from Dublin. He's been looking up the subject of bishops in the college library so that we'd know exactly what we ought to do." "He should have looked up simony first thing. I can't forgive Selby-Harrison for letting you in for those severe penalties." "There wasn't a bit of harm in what he said.
"Not that I know of," said Miss Battersby; "in fact, I'm sure she hasn't." "Then I'll do it myself. I don't see why Lalage should be the only one to break the news. I'd send a wire to Hilda too if I knew her surname; but I've never been able to find that out. I wish she'd marry Selby-Harrison. Then I'd know how to address her when I want to telegraph or write to her."
