Lord Ballindine was a man of feeling, and for the time, at least, a man of pleasure; and, though they were, or thought themselves friends, they did not pull well together; in fact, they bored each other terribly. One morning, Lord Ballindine was riding out from the training-ground, when he met, if not an old, at any rate an intimate acquaintance, named Tierney.
I and Marie and Vera and Nina and Markovitch our love for you, your love for us, our courage, our self-sacrifice, our weakness, our defeat, our progress these are the things for which life exists; it exists as a training-ground for the immortal soul...." With a sweep of colour the stage broke into a mist of movement.
Distasteful as modern Parliamentary politics were to him, the position of the British Empire in the world was the dominant fact in his mind, and he regarded Oxford as a training-ground of imperial statesmanship. He was not made to run in harness, or to act as a coach for the schools.
Finally, the stable itself was the training-ground for the household kittens. It was not a kitten, however, but a dog that so nearly terminated his career. There must have been thirty or forty mice in the corn-bin at the time.
How careful he was to observe the scope and effects of parliamentary speaking appears from a letter which he wrote many years later. Agriculture has always been a particularly fine training-ground for statesmen. To persons who do not watch it closely, it may seem monotonous.
Holman's most powerful means of keeping Nikolai in order was a threat of sending him to the parish school an institution which stood before her imagination as a publicly authorised house of correction for youth, and a daily training-ground in the fulfilment of one's duty.
There is no training-ground for an accomplished or man-of-the-world journalist, and the views and opinions of a journalist who is more or less of a social pariah, and he still is that with less than half a dozen exceptions, and of a man who begs for crumbs from the press officials at the foreign or other government offices, are neither written with the grip of the independent and dignified chronicler, nor received with confidence and respect by the reader.
I shall have a good deal to say about Lady Nugent. The West Indies make an appeal of a different nature to all Britons. They were the training-ground and school of all the great British Admirals from Drake to Nelson.
Crabbe had perceived that if he was to retain the admiring public he had won, he must break fresh ground. Aldeburgh was played out. It had provided abundant material and been an excellent training-ground for Crabbe's powers. But he had discovered that there were other fields worth cultivating besides that of the hard lots of the very poor.
Such a constellation of royal personages met on one field must be seen; for, besides the imperial family and Albert Edward and his Danish beauty, there was to be the Archduke of Austria and no end of titled personages besides. At three o'clock the royal company, in the Emperor's carriages, drove upon the training-ground of the Bois, where the troops awaited them.
