Do, my dear, persuade Miss Broadhurst to take care of herself, and let us take her to the inner little pagoda, where she can be so warm and so retired the very thing for an invalid Colambre! pioneer the way for us, for the crowd's immense."
Foster read them slowly, his eyes lighting up as he did so. "Looks as if it was true," said he. "Let me see! Fort . Yes, that's the th infantry. Two of their boys were killed at Sidney last summer by some of the same gang, and the regiment's sworn vengeance. Major, if this story's on the square, that crowd's goose is cooked, and don't you forget it! I say, you must give me a hand in."
But probably the underhold on the crowd, the real grip on its imagination, the one which does the plain, hard, everyday work on a crowd's ideals, which determines what crowds expect and what crowds are like inside is the Monotonous. The man who tells the most people what they shall be like in this world is not the great man or the unusual man. He is the monotonous man.
Inside the building one could hear the pounding of machinery, for it was here that the most important paper of Quebec was printed. Across a huge white sheet a man on a hanging platform painted the latest European cables. A cluster of electric lights illuminated him strongly; but he was not the centre of the crowd's attention.

It is merely a natural reaction in favour of the loser. Sometimes a bad decision to one play will win the crowd's sympathy for him.
On the crowd's opening the coach doors, the one mourner scuffled out of himself and was in their hands for a moment; but he was so alert, and made such good use of his time, that in another moment he was scouring away up a bye-street, after shedding his cloak, hat, long hatband, white pocket-handkerchief, and other symbolical tears.
Other conservative newspapers followed suit.... Both Tallant and I were surprised to hear these sentiments out of the mouth of Mr. Jason. "You don't think that crowd's going to win, do you?" asked the owner of the Era, a trifle uneasily. "Win!" exclaimed the boss contemptuously. "They'll blow up, and you'll never hear of 'em.
The grand abbot raised his hand, and the armed crowd's eager advance was checked, as if their feet had been nailed to the ground. Calmly he surveyed them, blessed them, and said, "Christians, the wolf did wrong to punish, for chastisement belongs to God alone; therefore the wolf's fault should not be punished by you. In whom resides the power of God? In the holy authority of fathers and mothers.
