"What I have always thought," said Clodd. "A lady advertising-agent might do well. At all events, they couldn't kick her out." "They might in the end," thought Peter. "Female door-porters would become a profession for muscular ladies if ever the idea took root." "The first one would get a good start, anyhow," thought Clodd. The sub-editor had pricked up her ears.
From 1848 to 1853 he was sub-editor of the Economist newspaper, and in his first important work, "Social Statics," published in 1850, he developed the ethical and sociological ideas which had been set forth in his published letters.
It is the proprietor, not the editor, not the sub-editor, least of all the reader, who is pleased with this monotonous prairie of printed words. The same slander on democracy can be noticed in the case of advertisements.
'I'm going to walk home at once to Holloway. 'To Holloway! the sub-editor said in a tone of comparative horror. 'Oh! no, I can't allow that. Wait here an hour or two till the workmen's trains begin running. Or, stay; Lancaster left his brougham here for me to-night, as I have to be off early to-morrow on business; I'll send you home in that, and let Hawkins get me a cab from the mews by order.
"Because the editor was born at Dublin, the sub-editor at Cork, because the proprietor lives in Paternoster Row; and the paper is published in Catherine Street, Strand. Won't that reason suffice you, Wagg?" Shandon said; he was getting rather angry. "Everything must have a name. My dog Ponto has got a namee. You've got a name, and a name which you deserve, more or less, indeed.
"You said yourself a lady advertising-agent would be a good idea," the sub-editor reminded him. "So she might be," returned Clodd; "but she isn't going to be you." "Why not?" "Because she isn't, that's why." "But if " "See you at the printer's at twelve," said Clodd to Peter, and went out suddenly. "Well, I think he's an idiot," said the sub-editor.
And he flung into his easy-chair, and hardly gave himself time to drink his tea, so eager was he to begin to read and to review. Captain Shandon, urged on by his wife, who seldom meddled in business matters, had stipulated that John Finucane, Esquire, of the Upper Temple, should be appointed sub-editor of forthcoming Pall Mall Gazette, and this post was accordingly conferred upon Mr.
Under the heading of "A Motor Pirate," with descriptive headlines extending across a couple of columns, and as attractively alliterative as the cunning pen of a smart sub-editor could make them, was the account of a similar incident. At first I thought it must be the same occurrence, but a brief perusal showed me that this impression was a wrong one.
Julia Burdett Parslow is a little inclined I may have mentioned this before " "You did," said the sub-editor. Mr. Wilberfloss chirruped on, unchecked. "A little inclined to be late with her 'Moments with Budding Girlhood'. If this should happen while I am away, just write her a letter, quite a pleasant letter, you understand, pointing out the necessity of being in good time.
There's the telephone ringing. "Hullo, hullo!" calls a sub-editor quietly. "Who are you? Margate mystery? Go ahead. They've found the corpse? All right. Keep it to a column, but send good story. Horrible mutilations? Good. Glimpse the corpse yourself if you can. Yes. Send full mutilations. Will call for them at eleven. Good-bye." "You doing the Archbishop, Mr. Jones?" asks the head of the table.
