Mildred turned deathly sick. "I think I'll go to my room," she said, rising uncertainly and forcing herself toward the door. Mrs. Belloc's curiosity could not restrain itself. "You're leaving?" she asked. "You're going back to your husband?" She was startled when the girl abruptly turned on her and cried with flashing eyes and voice strong and vibrant with passion: "Never! Never!
They get bitten there with the socialistic craze, and they come back and make trouble. This strike was started by Luc Baste, a French-Canadian, who had been in Maine. You can't stop these things by saying so. There was no strike among Belloc's men!" "No, but did you have no trouble with Belloc's men?"
You trained him for business, and he's gone on with the business you trained him for. There are other lumber firms. Why don't you quarrel with them? Why do you drop on Fabian as if he was dirt?" "Belloc's a rogue and a liar." "What difference does that make? Isn't it a fair fight? Don't you want anybody to sit down or stand up till you tell them to?
"What do you do with your wages?" asked the lumber-king. "I bought land. I've got a farm of four hundred acres twenty miles from here. I've got a man on it working it." "Does it pay?" "Of course. Do you suppose I'd keep a farm that didn't pay?" "Who runs it?" "A man that broke his leg on the river. One of Belloc's men. He knows all about farming.

It has, however, its limitations. So long as the situation which he is concerned to describe is of a simple nature it may be admirably expressed in diagrammatic form.
Belloc's books on travel will be found in another chapter; if one point more than another needs emphasis here, it is that Mr. Belloc primarily views all country over which he passes from a military standpoint.

The acquaintance with Mrs. Belloc was one of those vital moments; for, Mrs. Belloc's personality her look and manner, what she said and the way she said it was a proffer to Mildred of invaluable lessons which her awakening character eagerly absorbed. She saw Jennings as he was.
Belloc's work in Land and Water two of the most conspicuous features, indeed, as will be seen in the course of this book, of all his work are his fierce sincerity and amazing lucidity. In this first characteristic we are willing to believe that his respectable contemporaries equal though they cannot surpass him.
Carnac watched the case closely, and instructed his lawyer to contend that the general attack was first made by Belloc's men, which was true; but the jury decided that this did not affect the individual case, and that the John Grier man met his death by his own fault. "A shocking verdict!" he said aloud in the Court when it was given.
Belloc's view of the development of England and especially with that most startling and original view which he expounds in The Servile State as to the origin of our present economic system. Whether in Mr. Belloc's view, or the view of any other historian, the cardinal point in the history of England is that England was Britain before it became England: though Mr.
