"Many of the best workmen among us won't have anything to do with Unions; and you know it, Sam Shuck." "Just clear out of this," said Sam. "When I've had my say," returned the man, "not before. If I would join the Union, I can't. To join it, I must pay five shillings, and I have not got them to pay. With such a family as mine, you may guess every shilling is forestalled afore it comes in.

"If I had my pockets filled with five-shilling pieces, I would not pay one to it," fearlessly retorted the man.

What is one workman better than his fellow, that he should lay down laws and say, You shall do this, and you shall do that, or you shan't be allowed to work at all? That rule you want to get passed--that a skilled, thorough workman shouldn't do a full day's work because some of his fellows can't--who's agitating for it?

    Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 36: July to December, 1883To say that Mrs. Hatherley, and F lossie with her, nearly went out of their minds, is but feebly to describe the height, depth and extent Of their amazed exasperation. Mrs. Hatherley came out in quite a new character, so extraordinary was the activity which she displayed in going from house to house, pouring into the ears of her acquaint auces the various Innuendoes and suggestions concerning Gertrude once conveyed to her by Mrs. Chandos-fane, now Mrs. Burton.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

  • The Argosy, Vol. 30: July to December, 1880

    Mrs. Henry Wood

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 23, 2018)
    Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 30: July to December, 1880The world seemed to take it for granted that Miss Winter would marry. As yet there was no rumour of her being engaged, but as there were several eligible men, bachelors, in the neighbourhood, speculators were much exercised in their minds as to the chances of this, that, or the other one becoming the favoured individual. They all fervently hoped that Mrs. Carlyon would not drag her niece away to London, as she seemed to wish to do, or else there would be no knowing what might become of her. It would be dreadful for such a prize to fall to the lot of a stranger.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
