Anyhow, it seemed to me to be worth trying. One couldn't face the idea of letting him go up north just now without making an effort." "Things are really serious there," Lord Armley muttered. "Worse than any of us know," Mr. Foley agreed. "If you hadn't been coming here, I should have sent for you last night. The French Ambassador was with me for an hour after dinner." "No fresh trouble?"
Foley's there, a famous polo player and sportsman; Lord Carton, whose eyes seldom left Elisabeth's face; Sir William Blend, the great lawyer; Mr. Horrill and Lord Armley. These, with Elisabeth's mother and herself, made up the party. "I think I am going to bar politics," Lady Grenside said, as she took her place. "Impossible!" Mr. Foley retorted, in high good humour. "This is a political luncheon.
Only in this world, as in any other, one must destroy first to build upon a sound foundation." "Good reasoning, sir," Lord Armley replied, "only one should be very sure, before one destroys, that the new order of things will be worthy of the sacrifice." "After dinner," Mr. Foley remarked, as he lit a cigarette, "we are going to talk. At present, Maraton is under a solemn promise to play tennis."
Foley and Lord Armley were waiting together in the library not the smaller apartment into which Julia had been shown, but a more spacious, almost a stately room in the front part of the house. Upon Maraton's entrance, Lord Armley changed his position, sitting further back amongst the shadows in a low easy-chair. Maraton took his place so that he was between the two men.
I have a few more words to say to Armley." Maraton passed on into the rooms, which were only half filled. Some fancy possessed him to pause for a moment in the spot where he had stood alone for some time on his first visit to this house, and as he lingered there, Lady Elisabeth came into the room, leaning on the arm of a great lawyer.
A country without the sinews of movement, a country in which the working classes laid down their tools, a country whose forges had flickered out and whose railroad tracks were deserted, would simply be the helpless prey of any country who cared to pay off old scores." Lord Armley was looking curiously at the approaching couple.
Maraton looked towards the house. "If I might be allowed," he said, "I will go and put on my flannels. Lady Elisabeth is making up a set, I think." He turned towards the house. The two men stood watching him. "Is he to be bought?" Lord Armley asked, in a low tone. Mr. Foley shook his head. "Not with money or place," he answered thoughtfully.
If there is no employment for them, they will help themselves to the means for life. If there is money in the country, they have a right to a part of it and they will take it. The unfit amongst them will die. The unfit are better dead." "This is a dangerous doctrine, Mr. Maraton," Lord Armley remarked. "It is a primitive law," Maraton answered.
It ran: In Memory of Charles Peace Who was executed in Armley Prison Tuesday February 25th, 1879 Aged 47 For that I don but never Intended. The same day there arrived in the prison one who in his own trade had something of the personality and assurance of the culprit he was to execute.
"I am not sure that a successful invasion of this country would not be one of the best medicines she could possibly have." "Are you serious, sir?" Lord Armley asked grimly. "Absolutely," Maraton answered, without a second's hesitation. "You people have, after all, only an external feeling for the deficiencies of your social system. You don't feel, really you don't understand.
