If I want money to spend, I sell a railway share much as one might change a hundred-pound banknote; if I have more cash than I need immediately I buy a few shares. Why shouldn't it? I defy any economist or financial expert to prove that it cannot. That it hasn't done so in the little time for which it has existed is no reply at all.

"Is that so, sor?" said James, in great distress. "Well now, that's too bad. We've taken off two loads already, sor." "Where have you put them?" demanded Jasper, springing to his feet.

A false ghost disproves the reality of ghosts exactly as much as a forged banknote disproves the existence of the Bank of England if anything, it proves its existence. The greatest disaster of the nineteenth century was this: that men began to use the word "spiritual" as the same as the word "good." They thought that to grow in refinement and uncorporeality was to grow in virtue.
