Adela and her husband did not return from Belwick till eight o'clock in the evening.
Just take a night to turn it over. Most likely I shall go to Belwick again to-morrow afternoon. He paused, and his mother, after bending her head to bite off an end of cotton, asked 'You'll tell Emma? 'I shall go round to-night. A little later Richard left the house for this purpose.
'As I see the scheme, pursued Richard, who spoke all along somewhat in the lecture-room tone, the result of a certain embarrassment, 'it will differ considerably from the Socialist experiments we know of. We shall be working not only to support ourselves, but every bit as much set on profit as any capitalist in Belwick. The difference is, that the profit will benefit no individual, but the Cause.
Wyvern's face gave no promise of cheerful intelligence as he welcomed his visitor. 'What is the origin of this, I wonder? he said, handing Hubert the 'Belwick Chronicle. The state of the young man's nerves was not well adapted to sustain fresh irritation. He turned pale with anger. 'Is this going the round of Wanley? 'Probably. I had it from Mrs. Waltham.

It ought to have a good sale in Belwick and round about there. You see I must get my name well known; that's everything. When I've got that off hand, then I shall begin on the East End.
