Some, too, are calculating the cost of Glory's table : some showing what an appetite the demon has, devouring at a meal the substance of these thousand sons of industry — yea, eating up the wealth of kingdoms. And thus by degrees are men beginning to look upon this god Glory as no more than a finely-trapped Sawney Bean — a monster and a destroyer — a nuisance — a noisy lie.
THE GREENWICH PENSIONER A Greenwich pensioner ! Did any of my readers ever ponder on that strange composition of battered ...humanity and blue serge ? Did they never feel a something approach- ing very near gratitude on passing, in the metropolis, a Greenwich pensioner, who, with his honest, carved out, unabashed front, looks as bluntly and as wonderingly at the bustle and splendour around him as does an unsophisticated wether suddenly removed from South Downs to Cheapside, whilst shaking his woollen coat beneath the whip of the coachman to the Lord Mayor. What a mixture of gravity and wonderment is in the poor brute's countenance !
