"I guess who you mean," rejoined Shotbolt. . "
"What's the matter?" remarked Kneebone, addressing Sheppard, who, as he
caught the single but piercing eye of Jackson fixed upon him, started and
trembled. "
"That's what troubles me," rejoined Ben. Contrasted with the confused
movement and presences of a Fabian meeting, or the inexplicable enthusiasm
behind the suffrage demand, with the speeches that were partly egotistical
displays, partly artful manoeuvres, and partly incoherent cries for unsoundly
formulated ends, compared with the comings and goings of audiences and
supporters that were like the eddy-driven drift of paper in the street, this long,
quiet, methodical chamber shone like a star seen through clouds. Young and old were dressed in their gayest
apparel; and it was evident from the smiles that lighted up every countenance,
from the roguish looks of the younger swains, and the demure expression of

"And, if you want an additional inducement to do so, I can tell you there's no one
—not even his mother—whom he loves so well as you. She, perhaps, displayed herself rather consciously as a fine person unduly
limited. Gods! what
it must be to pour out strong, splendid verse—mighty lines! mighty lines! If I do,
Ann Veronica, it will be you. Romance! The romance of passing faces, of wires that carried voices and words
to the far ends of the world, of tremendous mechanisms that propelled ships and
trains! And, oh the beautiful books!
She swiftly knelt upon the floor and once more gathered the books to her heart.
