They see the hold they have, and stick to him like leeches. All for want of money, of course. Our aristocrats begin to see that they can't get on without money nowadays; they can't live on family records, and they find that people won't toady to them in the old way just on account of their name.

It is so remote so very remote!" "I think he's a funny sort of parson altogether," said Cicely meditatively "He doesn't beg, borrow or steal, he isn't a toady, he isn't a hypocrite, and he speaks his mind. Queer, isn't it?" "Very!" laughed Lord Charlemont "I don't know another like him, give you my word!"

Where, now, is your boasted consistency?" "Evelyn, you know very well that is the way to rule and toady papa. Yield to him apparently, and he will let you lead him and have your own way pretty much. You have found that out long ago, Evelyn." And I looked at her sharply, I confess. She colored, but did not reply. "There is more," I said.

And what of the head and pair of shoulders that stood above those of the knight? We did not see them!" "Was it Master Morgan with him, Peggy?" asked Dorothy unconcernedly. "Ask him who ran away just now," snapped Peggy. "I saw the toady little villain sneak off.

"If you do so, we'll fire in return," said Sam. "Maybe we can scare him too," he added, in a whisper. "I don't believe you've got any weapon," came from Mumps, in a voice that the toady tried in vain to steady. If there was one thing Mumps was afraid of it was a gun or a pistol. "Try us and see," said Tom. Then he raised his voice.

Swift and sure poison for the enemy if properly compounded with printer's ink. How pat it fitted in with the carefully fostered conception, insisted upon in every speech by Marrineal, of the mayor as a Wall Street and Fifth Avenue tool and toady! But what exactly had Bunny Fitch said? Was he actually quoting Laird? If so, direct or from hearsay?

"I know the chap who wrote it," said Ross, "Clever really unusual talent. But the fashionable women took him up, made him a toady and a snob, like the rest of the men of their set. How that sort of thing eats out manhood and womanhood!" Just what Dory often said!

When at last Toad had talked himself to a standstill, there was silence for a while; and then the Rat said, "Now, Toady, I don't want to give you pain, after all you've been through already; but, seriously, don't you see what an awful ass you've been making of yourself?

"Yes, I asked Northcote," said Clarence; "I never thought they would have any objection. He's not a common Dissenter, like the most of those fellows that have nothing but their salaries. He's well off; he don't require, bless you, to keep people in good temper, and toady to 'em, like most do. He's as independent as I am; I don't say that he's quite as well off; but money always finds its level.

Like most fellows of his kind, Noaks was a regular toady, ready to do anything in return for the privilege of being able to rub shoulders occasionally with some one in a higher position than himself, and he eagerly seized the opportunity which his friendship with Mouler afforded him of becoming intimate with Thurston.
