"Attractive," said his daughter patiently, "Mr. Charteris is very, very clever. Mr. Kennaston says literature suffered a considerable loss when he began to write for the magazines." And now that Margaret has spoken, permit me to call your attention to her voice. ATTRACTIVE SAID HIS DAUGHTER PATIENTLY MISTER CHARTREY IS VERY VERY CLEVER MISTER CONNASTON SAYS LITERATURE SUFFERED A CONSIDERABLE LOSS WHEN HE BEGAN TO WRITE FOR THE MAGAZINES AND NOW THAT MARGARET HAS SPOKEN PERMIT ME TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO HER VOICE
lling Selwoode up with writing people! Never heard of such a thing. Gad, I do remember, as a young man, meeting Thackeray at a garden-party at Orleans House--gentlemanly fellow with a broken nose-- and Browning went about a bit, too, now I think of it. People had 'em one at a time to lend flavour to a dinner--like an olive; we didn't dine on olives, though. You have 'em for breakfast, luncheon, dinner, and everything! I'm sick of olives, I tell you, Margaret!" Margaret pouted. "They ain't even good olives. I looked into one of that fellow Charteris's books the other day--that chap you had here last week. It was bally rot--proverbs standing on their heads and grinning like dwarfs in a condemned street-fair! Who wants to be told that impropriety is the spice of life and that a roving eye gathers remorse? _You_ may call that sort of thing cleverness, if you like; I call it damn' foolishness." And the emphasis with which he said this left no doubt that the Colonel spoke his honest opinion. UED THE OLD GENTLEMAN UTTER BEDLAMITE NONSENSE FILLING SELLWARD UP WITH WRITING PEOPLE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING GOD I DO REMEMBER AS A YOUNG MAN MEETING THACKERAY AT A GARDEN PARTY AT ORLEANS HOUSE GENTLEMANLY FELLOW WITH A BROKEN NOSE AND BROWNING WENT OUT A BIT TOO I THINK OF IT PEOPLE HAD EM ONE AT A TIME TO LEND FLAVOUR TO A DINNER LIKE AN OLIVE WE DIDN'T DINE ON OLIVES THOUGH YOU HAVE EM FOR BREAKFAST LUNCHEON DINNER AND EVERYTHING I'M SICK OF OLIVES I TELL YOU MARGARET MARGARET POUTED THEY AIN'T EVEN GOOD OLIVES I LOOKED INTO ONE OF THAT FELLOW SHOT ERES BOOKS THE OTHER DAY THAT CHAP YOU HAD HERE LAST WEEK IT WAS BALLY ROT PROVERBS STANDING ON THEIR HEADS AND GRINNING LIKE DWARFS IN A CONDEMNED STREET FAIR WHO WANTS TO BE TOLD THAT IMPROPRIETY IS A SPICE OF LIFE AND THAT A ROVING EYE GATHERS REMORSE YOU MAY CALL THAT SORT OF THING CLEVERNESS IF YOU LIKE I CALL IT DAMNED FOOLISHNESS AND THE EMPHASIS WITH WHICH HE SAID THIS LEFT NO DOUBT THAT THE COLONEL SPOKE HIS HONEST OPINION
