Have you read a very interesting book by the librarian of the Biological Society suggesting that the future of the world lies with the Mulatto? THE ARCHBISHOP. Yes: our duty is pretty clear. MRS LUTESTRING. Have you time to come home with me and discuss the matter? Burge: you understand, don't you? BURGE-LUBIN. No. What is it? BARNABAS. These two are going to marry.
What have I done to deserve this tribute? SURGE. Done! You have put the Liberal Party into power for the next thirty years, Doctor: thats what you've done. CONRAD. God forbid! BURGE. It's all up with the Church now. Thanks to you, we go to the country with one cry and one only. Back to the Bible! Think of the effect on the Nonconformist vote.
FRANKLYN. The one is classroom jargon: the other is inspired human language. LUBIN. It's very interesting and amusing, Burge; and I think I see a case in it. I think I could undertake to argue it in an ecclesiastical court. But important is hardly a word I should attach to it. BURGE. Good God!
As Thomas sat by the window of the junior day-room reading a magazine, and deeply interested in it, there fell upon his face such a rapt, angelic expression that the sight of it, silhouetted against the window, roused Master P. Burge, his fellow-Blackburnite, as it had been a trumpet-blast.
As it was, he found an outlet for his feeling in drinking his ale unusually fast, and setting down his glass with a swing of his arm and a determined rap. If Jonathan Burge and a few others felt less comfortable on the occasion, they tried their best to look contented, and so the toast was drunk with a goodwill apparently unanimous.
Savvy disposes. LUBIN. What does Savvy say? BURGE. Lubin: I came here to talk politics. LUBIN. Yes: you have only one subject, Burge. I came here to talk to Savvy. Take Burge into the next room, Barnabas; and let him rip. LUBIN. My dear Burge, life is a disease; and the only difference between one man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives.
BURGE. Going to happen! What do you mean? Do you mean that you cant make it happen? CONRAD. No more than I could have made you happen. FRANKLYN. We can put it into men's heads that there is nothing to prevent its happening but their own will to die before their work is done, and their own ignorance of the splendid work there is for them to do.
But as I cannot boast either your admirable voice or your spiritual fervor, I had to fall back on bridge. FRANKLYN. If I may go back to the subject of your visit, it seems to me that you may both be completely superseded by the Labor Party. BURGE. But I am in the truest sense myself a Labor leader. LUBIN. The Labor Party! Oh no, Mr Barnabas. What is the latest news? Whats going on?
It was hard enough to stand the party politicians before the war; but now that they have managed to half kill Europe between them, I cant be civil to them, and I dont see why I should be. FRANKLYN. Wait a bit. Suppose we try it on Joyce Burge. CONRAD. How can you? You can tell things only to people who can listen. Joyce Burge has talked so much that he has lost the power of listening.
"It is enough," sighed Brother Higgs, whose own audience was frequently content to be on the wrong side of the window, "it is enough to make a man vain." "I struggle against it, Brother," said Mr. Burge, passing his cup up for some more tea.
