But of course it is not only the peril in Palestine that has made the realisation of the Jewish problem, which once suffered all the dangers of a fad, suffer the opposite dangers of a fashion. The same journalists who politely describe Jews as Russians are now very impolitely describing certain Russians who are Jews.
In New York a gentleman can get drunk at dances, swear, treat people impolitely, and as long as he comes of a good family or has money back of him nobody questions him. So long as I treat people decently and do no one any harm I'm willing to take my chances with God Almighty. With Sailor Clancy fighting is a business. With me it's a sport. He hasn't had many good matches.
He paused for a moment and said, "Some one has been giving information to the enemy." "No!" he held up his hand, not impolitely but finally, as the maire began to expostulate "I have spoken." "But," said the maire desperately, "we shall be ruined. We have not got it. And all our goods have been taken already." "You have our receipts," said the General. "They are as good as gold.
As I watched, an apologetic-looking youth appeared in the door of the office and handed Hawkins an official-appearing slip of paper. The inventor snatched it impolitely and turned his back, while the youth gazed after him for a moment and then returned to the office. "Set of confounded idiots!" Hawkins remarked wrathfully. Then, ere I could disappear, he spied me. "Aha, Griggs, you here?"
"Young man," said Peg, with wonderful self-command, "you are exciting yourself to no purpose. You asked me if I pretended to be her mother. I do pretend, but I admit frankly that it is all pretense." "I don't understand what you mean," said Jack. "Then I will explain to you, though you have treated me so impolitely that I might well refuse.
"It was only permanent absence up country without leaf. That was all." "Up country?" said Hooper. "Did they circulate his description?" "What for?" said Pritchard, most impolitely. "Because deserters are like columns in the war. They don't move away from the line, you see. I've known a chap caught at Salisbury that way tryin' to get to Nyassa.
He had learned a word or two of Turkish, and, supposing that the inhabitants of the Grande Rue and the frequenters of the Concert Flamm were Turks, he rose and uttered a patriotic phrase, 'Chokularishah Padishah! which means, as I am informed on credible authority, 'May the Sultan live for ever! All the befezzed and bearded gentry, hook-nosed, sloe-eyed and greasy of complexion, who frequented the café of Monsieur Napoléon Flamm were Greeks and Armenians, and whether the Sultan lived for ever or died next day they did not care one jot They stared somewhat impolitely at the handsome fair-haired young German, but said nothing.
She charges foreigners heavily, keeps them waiting, and treats them impolitely. From Americans, for instance, there is a chorus of complaint on the ground of incivility. Not that Americans shine in this matter of passports for their own country. America sets Europe an unenlightened example of red-tape and venality. What then, is the game in Europe?
"That is just where you are wrong," Blenavon interrupted eagerly. "You were mistaken, entirely mistaken." I laughed, a little impolitely, I am afraid, considering that this was the son of my employer. "You know the circumstances?" I asked. He nodded. "The Prince has explained them to me. It was altogether a misunderstanding.
Me. Adulterer! It was awful. "What he caught on to was what I told him about appearing at the Divorce Registry within eight days and about instructing a solicitor afterwards. He said he'd go to the Registry at once at once, at once, at once! and he said, very impolitely, poor chap, that he'd instruct no infernal solicitors; he'd do the whole thing himself.
