"It means that if Wratislaw's party get back with a majority after August, and if Wratislaw gets the under-secretaryship as most people expect, then, with his chief in the Lords, he will be rather an important figure in the Commons." "And I suppose his work will be pretty lively," said George.
The secretary has promised him an under-secretaryship in one of the European embassies if his work there is satisfactory, and our marriage would interrupt his work." "Not necessarily," said Mr. Stanton. "Besides he doesn't need any career! He will have plenty of money, and "
Kennedy asked me, and people seem to think that everybody is to do what he bids them." "I should think so too. I wish he had asked me. I should have thought it as good as a promise of an under-secretaryship. All the Cabinet are to be there. I don't suppose he ever had an Irishman in his house before. When do you start?" "Well; on the 12th or 13th. I believe I shall go to Saulsby on my way."
But next imagine that the sovereign can raise to the rank of "peerage or baronetage" some favoured person whose family does not yet figure in Debrett. Such a man is then entitled to put his name on the list of candidates for the necessary under-secretaryship, and, when the sovereign reviews that list, he marks the candidate as nominated or recommended by himself. So he passes into the Senate.
He represented one of the largest industrial constituencies in the country, was always returned by an overwhelming majority, and was known to be in his own district an administrator of far-reaching talent; but because he could not speak effectually, and because the House of Commons that most self-satisfied assembly of mediocrities did not take to him, he was never offered by his political leaders during all the long years of his patient service even an under-secretaryship.
In 1881 he consented to take the Under-Secretaryship of the Home Department, with Sir William Harcourt as his chief; but the combination did not promise well, and ended rather abruptly in 1883. When the Liberal Government was in the throes of dissolution, Lord Rosebery returned to it, entering the Cabinet as Lord Privy Seal in 1885.
Bunting Harblow had his under-secretaryship, and Lewis was on the verge of the Cabinet, and these things we considered to be in the nature of confirmations.... It added to the discomfort of the situation that these plunging enquiries were being made in the presence of our wives. The rebel section of our party forced the talk.
You should get an under-secretaryship in the next government. 'That would only mean licking the boots of a few more men whom I despise. 'It's a very dangerous experiment that you're making. Dick looked straight into Alec MacKenzie's eyes. 'And is it you who counsel me not to make it on that account? he said, smiling. 'Surely experiments are only amusing if they're dangerous.
To show the veritable depths of baseness to which the so-called National Movement had fallen it need only be stated that it was charged against their official organ The Freeman's Journal that no less than eighteen members of its staff had obtained positions of profit under the Crown, including a Lord Chancellorship, an Under-secretaryship, Judgeships, Crown Prosecutorships, University Professorships, Resident Magistracies, Local Government Inspectorships, etc.
The good word of Halifax obtained him from Godolphin, in 1704, the Government order for a poem on the Battle of Blenheim, with immediate earnest of payment for it in the office of a Commissioner of Appeal in the Excise worth L200 a year. For this substantial reason Addison wrote the 'Campaign'; and upon its success, he obtained the further reward of an Irish Under-secretaryship.
