They knew before they came that there was sure to be a lot of 'Jolly good fellow' business and speechmaking, and they had agreed together beforehand to take no part one way or the other, and to refrain from openly dissenting from anything that might be said, but they had not anticipated anything quite so strong as this.
"I I'm ever so much obliged to you, folks," he stammered. "I am so. But you'll have to excuse me from speechmaking. They they didn't teach it afore the mast, where I went to college. Thank you, just the same. And do come and see me, everybody. Me and this little girl," drawing Emily nearer to him, "will be real glad to have you."
After the amateur speechmaking and concert pieces an Italian violinist, who had thrown over a lucrative contract to become a soldier, played exquisitely; and one of the French sisters we had seen walking the deck with the mincing steps of the cloister sang; somewhat precariously and pathetically, the Ave Maria.
Here Crass jumped up and interrupted, shouting out that they hadn't come there to listen to a lot of speechmaking a remark that was greeted with unbounded applause by most of those present. Loud cries of 'Hear, hear! resounded through the room, and the Semi-drunk suggested that someone should sing a song.
None of the congregation had a word to say, though they gave approving nods and shrugs. The house was packed at every meeting, two a day. Some climbed on the roof to listen around the smoke opening. I tried in vain to avoid speechmaking, but, as usual, I had to say something at every meeting.
And, by gad, I didn't care for it!" No doubt I should have learned more concerning this purely British custom if the Pierpont Morgan of Pennsylvania hadn't called on Blakely for a speech, just then. Poor Blakely! He didn't know at all how to make a speech. Thought I must say I was rather glad of it; the most tiresome thing about Americans is their eternal speechmaking, I think.
The alacrity of the black to do the errand was amusing enough. Stephen well knew it had not been such if he wanted a handkerchief. Stephen said it was not a diary. Mr. Colfax was too well bred to inquire further; so he never found out that Mr. Brice was writing an account of the Convention and the speechmaking for the Missouri Democrat.
Several of the great potentates looked grave upon hearing the Prince of Wales' words, and the Czar and the Kaiser exchanged glances; but there was no interruption to the cheers that followed. Mr. Edison, whose modesty and dislike to display and to speechmaking were well known, simply said: "I think we have got the machine that can whip them. But we ought not to be wasting any time.
But I've studied this matter, and I hope I have a few ideas upon it." "But what has done all these things you mention? May I ask that?" said I, both amused and curious. "Washington!" was her reply. "Remove him, and this rebellion will burst like a soap-bubble! And that's the last of my speechmaking. Our project is to remove Washington nay, there's no assassination in it.
The outlook is very hopeful," stated the nominee. "We'll see the state committee chairman to-morrow, Thornton. I feel quite sure that he will have our speechmaking routes laid out. Mr. Breed is very convincing sometimes when he discusses the political situation." When they were at the foot of the steps of the Mellicite Club, the young man begged permission to go about some affairs of his own.
