This goddess is now a widow, and lives with the Datta family in that village. I went to see her." "Have you not gone far enough in vice? Are you not satisfied yet, that you wish to ruin that unprotected girl? See, Debendra, you are so sinful, so cruel, so destructive, that we can hardly associate with you any longer." Surendra said this with so much firmness that Debendra was quite stunned.
And I brought 'em all round too. I got them cheering and laughing. Oh! I can tell you old Dodgson'll have to take me on. He says he'll ask me to speak for him at several places. I'm not half bad, I declare I'm not." "I thought they gave you a holiday task at Eton," observed Wharton, blandly. The lad coloured hotly, then bethought himself radiant:
"Isn't it a kind of moral cowardice to say that?" "I don't think so. To me it seems only looking things squarely in the face. I'm not the sort of man for whom there's any possibility of beginning life anew. A man like me can't live things down.

Does it not make plain that the "conservative", so far as he is consistent and lives up to his professions, is fatally in the wrong? The so-called "radical" is also almost always wrong, for no one can foresee the future. But he works on a right assumption namely, that the future has so far always proved different from the past and that it will continue to do so.
