He fixed his pitiless eyes on Grace, and echoed the contagious words: "You are mad!" She was silenced, she was daunted at last. The treble accusation revealed to her, for the first time, the frightful suspicion to which she had exposed herself. She shrank back with a low cry of horror, and struck against a chair. She would have fallen if Julian had not sprung forward and caught her.
That is our aim; to that task we have bent our backs; and in that labour we shall not be daunted by the machine-made abuse of partisans or by the nervous clamour of selfish riches.

He got up from his chair and took a step towards her, but stood irresolute daunted by the calm strength in her face. "The world is too old for heroics any more. Every one laughs at them. Where is the politician to-day who cares tuppence for anything but the main chance? We blazon our way into office, and we blazon louder still to keep there. It is the spirit of the age.

And hasn't poor Burnamy done both?"
