Civilisation isn't a matter of concrete groupings; it's a matter of prevailing ideas. The problem is how to make bold, clear ideas prevail. The question for Remington and us is just what groups of people will most help this culture forward." "Yes, but how are the Lords going to behave?" said Crupp. "You yourself were asking that a little while ago."
I learned very much and very many things at those dinners, but more particularly did I become familiarised with the habits of mind of such men as Neal, Crupp, Gane, and the one or two other New Imperialists who belonged to us.
Crupp, in a tone approaching to severity, 'I've laundressed other young gentlemen besides yourself. A young gentleman may be over-careful of himself, or he may be under-careful of himself. He may brush his hair too regular, or too un-regular. He may wear his boots much too large for him, or much too small. That is according as the young gentleman has his original character formed.
I was taking my coffee and roll in the morning, before going to the Commons and I may observe in this place that it is surprising how much coffee Mrs. Crupp used, and how weak it was, considering when Steerforth himself walked in, to my unbounded joy. 'My dear Steerforth, cried I, 'I began to think I should never see you again!

I think, however, the conduct of Gane, Crupp, and Tarvrille in coming down to fight for me, did count tremendously in my favour. "We aren't going to win, perhaps," said Crupp, "but we are going to talk."
