This good-natured paragraph, evidently from the pen of a sulky sub-editor, smarting under a lashing for his blunder of the preceding day, did not come to my knowledge till some time afterwards, so that the waiter's reply to my question concerning Count J 's travelling companion perplexed me greatly, and plunged me into an ocean of conjectures.
You will, I fancy, have little cause to regret your decision. Fortunately, if I may say so, I happen to have a certain amount of leisure just now. It is at your disposal. I have had little experience of journalistic work, but I foresee that I shall be a quick learner. I will become your sub-editor, without salary." "Bully for you," said Billy Windsor.
Spargo looked up at the inspector with a quick jerk of his head. "I know this man," he said. The inspector showed new interest. "What, Mr. Breton?" he asked. "Yes. I'm on the Watchman, you know, sub-editor. I took an article from him the other day article on 'Ideal Sites for Campers-Out. He came to the office about it. So this was in the dead man's pocket?"
"What made you think of writing?" the sub-editor asked, leaning a little over towards his new contributor. "I picked up a copy of your newspaper on a seat in the Park," Burton replied.

All the other reporters being away on their duties, the editor was at a loss. "Isn't there anybody else?" he demanded. The chief sub-editor pondered.
She knew that in these five years Rule had risen, step by step, in the office where he had begun his apprenticeship; that he had risen to be foreman, then sub-editor, and now he was part proprietor and one of the most powerful political writers on the paper. The workingmen's party wished to put him up as a candidate for the State legislature.
Pinchas, of whom you have always spoken so highly, to undertake the duties of editorship, Mr. Sampson remaining sub-editor as before. Of course I count on you to continue your purely scholarly articles, and to impress upon the two gentlemen who will now have direct relations with me my wish to remain in the background. "Yours sincerely,
"Diplomacy, my dear sir. I never make an enemy unless I find myself compelled to do so in self-defence. You needed a new sub-editor, I a new reporter, and I merely shuffled the cards and dealt them again. In your case Gifford seems to have proved a success." "How do you know that?" asked the old man, rudely. "You are anxious to promote him." "On your recommendation.
I never could find out what it was that occasioned the Hodgsons to lodge in the same house as the Jenkinses. Jenkins held the same office in the Tory paper as Hodgson did in the Examiner, and, as I said before, I leave you to give it a name. But Jenkins had a proper sense of his position, and a proper reverence for all in authority, from the king down to the editor and sub-editor.
