Tonson built a room for the Club at Barn Elms to which each member gave his portrait by Sir Godfrey Kneller, who was himself a member. No. 10. Monday, March 12, 1711. Addison.
We can stop here as long as we like, provisioned from the mainland, and if for any reason we wish to leave, be sure of our line of retreat." "I don't know what you call capital," exclaimed Bastin. "It seems to me that all the lies which Arbuthnot has just told are sufficient to bring a judgment upon us. Indeed, I think that I will go back with Marama and explain the truth."
"I wish to God," he cried suddenly, after a long silence, "I wish to God I could cut everything and come with you." "What prevents you?" asked Arbuthnot. "I have ties," said he.

This reinforcement, however, did not enable Clinton to enter immediately on that active course of offensive operations which he had meditated.

"I'd take the risk," said Bickley, "since I believe that you dreamt it all, Arbuthnot. However, putting that aside, there is a natural reason why you should wish to go, and for my own part, so do I in a way.
Then in August 1914 came the great war, and when Tim suggested going into Dublin to see Colonel Arbuthnot about joining up to that battalion through which all the best of the Gamelyn men had passed, his mother tried to laugh.
