"The interest of the cause I serve, my lord, would alone be enough to secure my zeal and discretion." "True; you are a man of firm and ardent convictions." "I strive to be so, my lord." "And, after all, a very religious man in your way.
The ideal became practical, for it had found lodgment among men who were accustomed to act out their convictions and test all their theories by actual experience.
