Something seemed to separate them; even when she lay back and he held her in his arms, she was not as near to him as she had dreamed of being; and try as she would, she found it impossible to wipe out of her mind the house in Hanley.
'You see, Dick continued, 'she's left Hanley without any clothes except those she's wearing, and we'll have to buy everything in Derby, and he begged Bret to move down a bit and allow him to take the seat next to Leslie. The tenor, conductor, and second low comedian had spread a rug over their knees, and were playing nap.
As the Constellation Company drove to the station, Kate noticed that Rochdale and Hanley were not unlike, and the likeness between the two towns set her thinking how strange it was. Here was the same red town, narrow streets, built of a brick that, under a dull sky, glared to a rich geranium hue.
He often seems to progress slowly at the start, but after the characters have been made familiar, the story proceeds to its powerful and logical conclusion. Arnold Bennett. Bennett was born in Hanley, North Staffordshire, in 1867. He studied law, but abandoned it to become for seven years an editor of Woman, a London periodical.
I was awakened by the tinkling, buzzing call of the radio-diaphragm beneath my shirt. I had left the call open. It was Hanley. I lay down, eyeing my window which now was illumined by the flat light of dawn. Hanley's microscopic voice: "Phil? I've just raised President Markes, there in Nareda. I've been a bit worried about you." "I'm all right, Chief."
"And did you notice his novels? They were in every language. It must be terribly lonely down here, for a man like that." "He's the first of our consuls we've met on this trip," growled her father, "that we've caught sober." "Sober!" exclaimed his wife indignantly. "He's one of the Marshalls of Vermont. I asked him." "I wonder," mused Hanley, "how much the place is worth?

For the first time since Hanley had left the consulate, he fell into sudden terror lest he might give way to his emotions. Indignant at the thought, he held himself erect. His face was set like a mask, his eyes were untroubled. He was determined they should not see that he was suffering. Another gun spat out a burst of white smoke, a stab of flame. There was an echoing roar.
Men like Senator Hanley are a menace to good government. They see in public office only a reward for party workers." "That's right," assented Aiken. "Your forty years' service, Mr. Consul, wouldn't count with Hanley. If he wanted your job, he'd throw you out as quick as he would a drunken cook." Mr. Marshall flushed painfully, and the French consul hastened to interrupt.
Henry has twice my brains and he's been a consul-general, and he's HERE, back at the foot of the ladder!" "Why?" demanded the girl. "Because the navy is a service and the consular service isn't a service. Men like Senator Hanley use it to pay their debts. While Henry's been serving his country abroad, he's lost his friends, lost his 'pull. Those politicians up at Washington have no use for him.
