Auberon Herbert, at the request of a meeting of working-class delegates, held in Hyde Park a "Demonstration in favor of Peace". The war party attacked the meeting and some sharp fighting took place, but a resolution "That this meeting declares in favor of peace" was carried despite them.
The Paladium had only just extricated himself reverently from the folds of the King's frock-coat, and said bewildered "I am afraid, your Majesty " "Oh, you've got no enterprise," said Auberon. "What's that roll in the corner? Wall-paper? Decorations for your private residence? Art in the home, Pally?
It has an idea that fine scenery is an appeal to its nobler part, and that it shows a nice critical sense in preferring it to poor. That's a real intellectual flight, for the public. Auberon. Very well, its preference is right, and why isn't that a perfectly legitimate state of things? Dorriforth. Why isn't it? It distinctly is!
It was Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Cunninghame Grahame, Bernard Shaw and Auberon Herbert, who between them, with bowed gigantic backs, bore up the throne of the Archbishop of Canterbury. We may say broadly that free thought is the best of all the safeguards against freedom.
How do you mean, what do we hear of it? Dorriforth. In what trumpet of fame does it reach us? They do what they can, the performers Auberon alludes to, and they are brave souls. But I am speaking of the conspicuous cases, of the exhibitions that draw. Florentia. There is good acting that draws; one could give you names and places. Dorriforth. I have already guessed those you mean.
It's a morceau de vie, as the French say. Auberon. Oh, don't begin on the French! Amicia. It's a French experiment que voulez-vous? Auberon. English experiments will do. Dorriforth. No doubt they would if there were any. But I don't see them. Amicia. Fortunately: think what some of them might be!
Dorriforth. Certainly not, nor are they in that case bound to insist on one's not being a little vague about them. They are perfectly free to withhold them; they may have very good reasons for it, and I can imagine some that would be excellent and worthy of all respect. But their withholding them is one of the signs. Auberon. What signs? Dorriforth.
Without this initial reform the individualism of your Ibsens and Auberon Herberts becomes a mere simulacrum, a hollow mockery. If you are to develop your individuality, it must be your own individuality that you develop, not an individuality thrust upon you by a couple of outsiders." "And you have preached this with success?" "With unheard-of success." "Unheard-of, indeed!"
Every one knew that there was something subconscious in a man like Auberon Herbert, which would have come out only in throwing bombs at the enemies of England; as it did come out in his son and namesake, the generous and unforgotten, who fell flinging bombs from the sky far beyond the German line. Every one knows that normally, in the last resort, the English gentleman is patriotic.
Florentia. It was just like any other play I saw no difference. It had neither a plot, nor a subject, nor dialogue, nor situations, nor scenery, nor costumes, nor acting. Amicia. Then it was hardly, as you say, just like any other play. Auberon. Florentia should have said like any other bad'one. The only way it differed seemed to be that it was bad in theory as well as in fact. Amicia.
