Reade, Charles, 1814-1884

"Hard Cash"


Z. More than Mrs. Plummer does, apparently.
G. Apotheosis of the British public. How very like profaneness some
people's piety is!
C. H. Faith, with this school, means anything the opposite of Charity.
I. You are morally truthful: but intellectually mendacious. The texts on
Solomon's Song! You know very well there is not one. No grave writer in
all Scripture has ever deigned to cite, or notice, that coarse
composition; puellarum deliciae.
J. Modest periphrasis for "I like it." Motto for this Diary; "Ego, et
Deus meus."
K. In other words, a good, old-fashioned, sober, humble Christian, to
whom the daring familiarities of your school seem blasphemies.
M. Here I recognise my sister; somewhat spoiled by a detestable sect; but
lovable by nature (which she is for ever abusing); and therefore always
amiable, when off her guard.]
_"March 28th._--Mr. Crawford the attorney called and told papa his son
had instructed him to examine the trust-deed, and to draw his marriage
settlement. Papa treated him with the greatest civility, and brought him
the deed.
