"I remember," said my father, who was at last able to edge in a word, "that it nearly flooded me out of house and home. And yet, in spite of all this, I hear that there are many at Bridgeford who are still hardened unbelievers." "Alas! you speak too truly. Bridgeford and the Musical Banks for the first three years fought tooth and nail to blind those whom it was their first duty to enlighten.
The readiness of her Professors to learn even from those who at first sight may seem least able to instruct them the gentleness with which they correct an opponent if they feel it incumbent upon them to do so, the promptitude with which they acknowledge error when it is pointed out to them and quit a position no matter how deeply they have been committed to it, at the first moment in which they see that they cannot hold it righteously, their delicate sense of honour, their utter immunity from what the Sunchild used to call log- rolling or intrigue, the scorn with which they regard anything like hitting below the belt these I believe I may truly say are the virtues for which Bridgeford is pre-eminently renowned."

For the people want it, and so long as they want it they will have it.

The far-reaching changes in Erewhonian institutions with which the reader is already acquainted followed as a matter of course.
Bridgeford fought hard and wisely here, but they had gained so much by the Musical Bank Managers being recognised as the authorised exponents of Sunchildism, that they thought it wise to yield apparently with a good grace and thus gild the pill which his Majesty was about to swallow.
