While there he picked up a poor devil of a Cockney and made more of a man of him than the fellow had ever dreamed of becoming. Literally picked him out of the gutter drunk. That man of his, Carrick, I think that's his name." "Right," assented Saunderson. "Then look what he did for Marian Griggs when Jack's western bubble burst carrying her fortune with it.
But now I judge from your talk that you are a college chap, anyhow, a gentleman. Be n't it so?" "My dear Mr. Saunderson, I set out on my travels, which is not long ago, with a strong dislike to telling lies. But I doubt if a man can get along through this world without finding that the faculty of lying was bestowed on him by Nature as a necessary means of self-preservation.
The poet replied with his usual playful politeness, but declared his dissent from Saunderson, "who denied God, because he happened to have been born blind."
"A 'm no here tae say 'that a' kent what wes comin''" Elspeth, like all experts, was strictly truthful "for the like o' that wes never heard in Drumtochty, and noo that Doctor Saunderson is awa, will never be heard again in Scotland.
In the hall-way Miss Saunderson, a typical Scottish housekeeper, stood beaming welcome; but in the very instant of greeting her, Robert Cairn stopped suddenly as if transfixed. Dr. Cairn also pulled up just within the door, his nostrils quivering and his clear grey eyes turning right and left searching the shadows. Miss Saunderson detected this sudden restraint.
When the sound of blows was heard; when Colonel Saunderson was seen to be in grips with another member, anger shame horror, took possession of everybody; some men lost their heads, determined to have their share in the fray, and for a brief second or two a solid cohort on either side the Tories on one side, the Irish on the other stared and glared at each other, with pallid, passion-rent, and, at the same time, horror-stricken faces ready to descend into the abyss, and yet standing in the full consciousness of horror at its brink.
Tanner, and their Ulster brethren, who acknowledge a leader in Colonel Saunderson. These tactics are made possible by the peculiar, indeed unique, arrangement by which seats are secured in the House of Commons. In all other Legislative Assemblies in the world each member has assigned to him a seat and desk, reserved for him as long as he is a member.
"I know, I know," answered Haward impatiently. "I changed my mind. Is that you, Saunderson, with the light? Or is it Hide?" The candle moved to one side, and there was disclosed a large white face atop of a shambling figure dressed in some coarse, dark stuff. "Neither, sir," said an expressionless voice. "Will it please your Honor to dismount?"
Saunderson, I am not going to accept this fortune. I don't like the way it was made, I don't want it, I won't work for it." "Why should you work for it, after all? You can go on with your own life and delegate your powers to another or others, and let all continue as it is. The income would be at your disposal to save or spend. You need never enter Princes Buildings if that is what troubles you.
I should be glad to believe with Colonel Saunderson that "the Leaguers would not hold up the 'land-grabber' to execration, and denounce him as they do, unless they knew in fact that the moment the law is made supreme in Ireland the tenants would become just as amenable to it as any other subjects of the Queen."
