But, dear me, Mary, Mr Smithe told me yesterday that he had already given up his living, and that Mr Spooner, the minor canon, was trying to get it from the dean. But that was because Mr Spooner and Mrs Proudie had quarrelled; and as Mrs Proudie is gone, Mr Spooner very likely won't want to move now."
But only for the moment. In another minute or two the argument, begun so casually, had developed into a serious trial of strength, in which the squire and young Wishart took the chief parts, while Mr. Spooner threw in a laugh and a sarcasm here and there. And as long as Mr. Wendover talked, Madame de Netteville listened.
Theology is organized knowledge in the field of religion, a science like any other science! 'Certainly, my dear sir, certainly, said Mr. Spooner, leaning forward, with his hands round his knees, and speaking with the most elegant and good-humored sang-froid imaginable, 'the science of the world's ghosts! I cannot imagine any more fascinating.
But this objection was cleverly met by Senator Spooner, who offered an amendment, which was virtually a substitute, authorizing the President to acquire the rights and property of the French company at a cost not exceeding $40,000,000; to acquire from the Republic of Colombia, upon such terms as he might deem reasonable, perpetual control of a strip of land, not less than six miles in width, extending from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, with jurisdiction over said strip; and to proceed as soon as these rights were acquired, to construct a canal.
Not to have a good day is a misery to him; not for himself but because he feels that he is responsible. We had one blank day last year, and I thought that he never would recover it. It was that unfortunate Trumpington Wood." "How he will hate me." "Not if you will praise the hounds judiciously. And then there is a Mr. Spooner coming here to-night. He is the first-lieutenant.
Perhaps she was rather slow in doing this, but the greatness of the subject had been the cause. These are matters so important, that the ordinary civilities of the world should not stand in their way. "What do you say, Chiltern?" asked the husband. "I say that Mrs. Spooner isn't very often wrong, and that Dick Rabbit isn't very often right about a fox." "It was a pretty run," said Phineas.
"An itinerant Master with a carpet-bag never can carry on a country," said Mr. Spooner. "You ought really to have a gentleman of property in the county," said Lord Chiltern, in a self-deprecating tone. His father's acres lay elsewhere. "It should be someone who has a real stake in the country," replied Mr. Spooner, "whom the farmers can respect.
From the time he entered that body, he was consistently one of the principal defenders of Republican policies and Republican administrations on the floor of the Senate. Senator John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, was, in my judgment, one of the best lawyers who ever served as a member of the Senate, and among its membership we find the names of the greatest lawyers and judges of America.
And unfortunately there was half-a-dozen with him. Lord Chiltern was very wrath. "When he's like that," said Mrs. Spooner to Tregear, "it's always well to give him a wide berth." But as the hounds were now running fast it was necessary that even in taking this precaution due regard should be had to the fox's line. "He's back for Harrington bushes," said Mrs. Spooner.
He'd have made a smart sailor, Alexis would; quick an' willing." "They say Canada French ain't spoken the same, anyway" began the Captain's devoted friend, Mr. Ezra Spooner, by way of assurance, when the store door opened and a bright little figure stood looking in. All the gray-headed men turned that way, and every one of them smiled. "Come right in, dear," said the kind-hearted old Captain.
