MAINLY About People" gives this pen
and ink sketch of the Bishop of London:
1T has been DIR. Creghton's fate to be
misunderstood through his biting tongue
all his life. While he was still an OXFORD
don, people were surprised and almost
a little Mortified when they heard thar
this young man, who said such sharp and
cynical things, and who, besides. had a
weakness for such Byzantine things as
velvet coats and red ties was going to
enter the Church The ties had to be dis
carded, and the velvet coat but the wit
remains. and one can imagine the horror
with which the safe men who are usually
raised to the Episcopal bench occasionally
hear DR.. Creighton's frank comments on
men and things. About the middle hight,
thin almost to emacation, with thin
cheeks and a full beard, Dr. Creighton
with all this ascetism of figure never
seems to have the truly parsonic air In
deed, in spite of the apron and the gait
ers, he leaves a curious sense of being
a thorough layman-if l didn't fear Of
Tending the ecclesiastical mind l should
say of being thorough man. The hatchet
face, the eyes that look out with such
keenness through the spectacles, the rapid
walk, the observant look-half of amuse-
ment, half Of belligereney--aIl suggest a
revolutionary; revolutionary, perhaps of
the closet rather than of the barricade
SO far as an Englishman can ever be like
an lrishman, DR.. Creighton bears a close
resemblance TO William OBrien, the fam
Gus Irish politician"
