He was made the target for general denunciation and execration, although unreasonably so, for he had but given candid and succinct utterance to the actuating principle of the whole capitalist class. The moral of this incident impressed itself sharply upon the minds of the masterly rich, and to this day has greatly contributed to the politic manner of their exterior conduct.
Two considerations of personal vanity may be suggested as actuating Charles to be specially indulgent to Van Dyck an indulgence of which the results posterity should not omit to credit to the sad account of the martyr first, that his father had failed to retain the painter in his service, and second, that Velasquez, who had made a sketch of him on his mad visit to Madrid in 1623, was then immortalising Philip.
So far as that went, it really was not so much the death of the victim as the survival of his destroyer and his fashion of living afterwards which made warp and woof for the fabric of the tragedy. With the passage of time the actuating causes were somewhat blurred in perspective.
Important a factor as it was, it might conceivably be disregarded, by a leader who recognized that the end in view justified the risk. There was yet another motive actuating Nelson in his present proposals.

I won't!" There was the tensity of fierceness in the man's plea which appealed deeply to her sympathies. It was a dissolving fire which was actuating him now.
In order to get possession of a single road in Chicago, Widener and Elkins guaranteed a thirty-five per cent dividend; to get one Philadelphia line, they guaranteed 65 1/2 per cent on capital paid in. This, of course, was not business; the motives actuating the syndicate were purely speculative.
