He seemed to have finally abandoned this occupation in despair flying for refuge to his window, from which he had seen his friend coming down Gloucester street. When Jacques entered, he retained his seat with an appearance of great carelessness, and extending two fingers negligently, drawled out: "Good day, my boy. You perceive I have banished those ignoble fears of proctors.
"Have a drink, I'm generally as quiet as a lamb." Marsden sat on the table and refused to drink. "It's no joke being in the same house with you," he said again, and began to laugh. "I'm not going to set fire to the place or blow it up," Bunny replied. "But the house becomes infested with proctors." "Did you see the 'proggins?" "He came into my room and progged both Carslake and me.
The following justification of democracy, formulated by Matthew Arnold, lays bare its insistent and wholly incontrovertible motive: If experience has established any one thing in this world, it has established this: that it is well for any great class or description of men in society to be able to say for itself what it wants, and not to have other classes, the so-called educated and intelligent classes, acting for it as its proctors, and supposed to understand its wants and to provide for them.
"Be it further enacted," the Act continues, "that scholars of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, that go about begging, not being authorised under the seal of the said universities, by the commissary, chancellor, or vice-chancellor of the same; and that all and singular shipmen pretending losses of their ships and goods, going about the country begging without sufficient authority, shall be punished and ordered in manner and form as is above rehearsed of strong beggars; and that all proctors and pardoners, and all other idle persons going about in counties or abiding in any town, city, or borough, some of them using divers subtle, crafty, and unlawful games and plays, and some of them feigning themselves to have knowledge in physick, physnamye, and palmistry, or other crafty science, whereby they bear the people in hand that they can tell their destinies, dreams, and fortunes, and such other like fantastical imaginations, to the great deceit of the king's subjects, shall, upon examination had before two justices of the peace, if by provable witness they be found guilty of such deceits, be punished by whipping at two days together, after the manner before rehearsed.
G. P. R. James's novels; and that evening three cavaliers might have been seen issuing from the gates of Bosforo, in whom the porters, proctors, &c., never thought of recognising the young Prince and his friends. They got horses at a livery stable-keeper's, and never drew bridle until they reached the last town on the frontier before you come to Crim Tartary.
"Perhaps he didn't want to catch us; after all we were not doing much," some man, whose experience of proctors must have been limited, said. We got back to the room and heard a tremendous booing in the street, for the crowd, deprived of their fun, were letting the proctor know what they thought of him. "That's splendid," Bunny said, "it's a real score if he doesn't send for us in the morning.
The proctors would have a very dull time if they did not catch men sometimes." I cannot imagine why I made that last remark, except that he had fixed his little eyes upon me when I began and it seemed to be dragged out of me. "I do not think that you need trouble yourself about the duties of the proctors, Mr. Marten. Good-morning, and please remember what I have said to you."
On the 10th of February the Proctors announced to the Board their intention to veto the third proposal. But of course the thing went forward. The Proctors were friends of Mr. Newman, and the Heads believed that this would counterbalance any effect from their act of authority. It is possible that the announcement may have been regarded as a mere menace, too audacious to be fulfilled.
During the recess a question was raised by the Crown lawyers as to the competency of the proctors to vote, while admitting their right to be present as councillors and assistants; this question, on an appeal to England, was declared in the negative, whereupon that learned body were excluded from all share in the future Irish legislation of this reign.
And I know not whether his lovers ought to wish they had; for they proved so like the radical moisture in man's body, that they preserved the life of virtue in his soul, which by God's assisting grace never left him till this life put on immortality. Of which happy infirmities if they may be so called more hereafter. In the year 1614 he stood to be elected one of the Proctors for the University.
