Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III That was what he thought when he lef c her that night. It was late before he came away, but the room was already full of men. The public had forgotten Sybil Heseltine, and society had forgotten her, nevertheless she did not live alone. Algernon had many disciples. As soon as it was safe, and she obscure, they rallied round his wife, who seemed all of him that was left for them. Here were the friends of his brilliant boyhood, wrecks and derelicts, bitter, and tired, and old, failures one and all. There were here, too, men from the universities, exotic, intellectual, perverse, younger men from Woolwich and Sandhurst, vicious and pallid and eager. A scheme was on foot for bringing back to his native land the ashes of the great one, the Master. His death had canonised him; already a cult for him was aflame in Prance and in Germany, and other intellectual centres. Why should England lag behind? She had murdered his body, would she throttle his fame ? So they talked, hotly; some with sincerity, conviction, some because the Sphinx willed it. On the dull horizon of their normal lives the Sphinx and her drawing-room were the golden haze. They were decadents and weaklings, essential ineifectives, but even such as these can dream Errington was used to her environment, to the tone of her house; but it jarred upon him to-night. He found the loose and brilliant talk, the note of supreme intimacy, the indecorous personal candour, the classic gossip and allusion, ugly and distasteful. The talk irked him, he was sickened with the cult to-night, as once in youth. Sybil, joining in the talk, leading it, yet watched him with that strange softness. When, from among these disciples of hers, a new prophet should arise, preaching tumult and disorder, the cult of pure intellect, a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sphinx's Lawyer Berenice was but vaguely interested in this dull busi ness talk Fred had said it all to her before, and it seemed merely the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee. Before she had written to Sybil Heseltine for his address, and many times since, she had wondered how Mr. Welch-kennard would present himself to her in the light of a sober business day. His image, notwithstanding the many times Sybil had spoken of him, had grown dim through the troubles that sprang up to meet her immediately after the supper party; but gradually it had been reviving. Had her motive been mixed, in assenting so readily to Fred's suggestion that she should have her own lawyer?

Download or read book The World Bank s Lawyers written by Dimitri Van Den Meerssche and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Bank's Lawyers provides an original socio-legal account of the evolving institutional life of international law. Informed by oral archives, months of participant observation, interviews, legal memoranda, and documents obtained through freedom-of-information requests, it tells a previously untold story of the World Bank's legal department between 1983 and 2016. This is a story of people and the beliefs they have, the influence they seek, and the tools they employ. It is an account of the practices they cling to and how these practices gain traction, or how they fail to do so, in an international bureaucracy. Inspired by actor-network theory, relational sociologies of association, and performativity theory, this ethnographic exploration multiplies the matters of concern in our study of international law (and lawyering): the human and non-human, material and semantic, visible and evasive actants that tie together the fragile fabric of legality. In tracing these threads, this book signals important changes in the conceptual repertoire and materiality of international legal practice, as liberal ideals were gradually displaced by managerial modes of evaluation. It reveals a world teeming with life—a space where professional postures and prototypes, aesthetic styles, and technical routines are woven together in law's shifting mode of existence. This history of international law as a contingent cultural technique enriches our understanding of the discipline's disenchantment and the displacement of its traditional tropes by unexpected and unruly actors. It thereby inspires new ways of critical thinking about international law's political pathways, promises, and pathologies, as its language is inscribed in ever-evolving rationalities of rule.
