"That eternal want of pence Which vexes public men." Still, I think we ought always to look upon such buildings as temporary arrangements, and they vex one less then. The Palace ought to be in the higher part of the Park, perhaps on that slope opposite Piccadilly. Dunsford. Milverton. We must begin by thinking boldly about things. That is a larger part of any undertaking than it seems, perhaps.
Well, you have now shut up the subject, according to your fashion, in a rounded sentence; and you think after that there is nothing more to be said. But I say it goes to my heart Dunsford. What is that? Ellesmere. To my heart to see the unmerciful quantity of instruction that little children go through on a Sunday.
"I say, I'm awfully sorry you're ploughed," he said. He had just inquired Philip's number. Philip turned and saw by his radiant face that Dunsford had passed. "Oh, it doesn't matter a bit," said Philip. "I'm jolly glad you're all right. I shall go up again in July."
"I am a part of all that I have heard." Dunsford. Ellesmere becoming metaphysical and transcendental! Ellesmere. Well, well, we will leave these heights, and descend in little drops of criticism. There are two or three things you might have pointed out, Milverton. Perhaps you would say that they are included in what you have said, but I think not.
He laughed angrily at his own foolishness: it was absurd to care what an anaemic little waitress said to him; but he was strangely humiliated. Though no one knew of the humiliation but Dunsford, and he had certainly forgotten, Philip felt that he could have no peace till he had wiped it out. He thought over what he had better do.
Ellesmere. Well brought out, that metaphor, but I don't know that it means more than that the followers of a system do in general a good deal to corrupt it, or that when a great principle is worked into human affairs, a considerable accretion of human folly and falseness mostly grows round it: which things some of us had a suspicion of before. Dunsford. To go back to the subject.
Dunsford. I knew you would. You love an extreme. Milverton. But look now. It is well to say, "It is natural and beautiful that the young should ask and the old should teach"; but then the old should be capable of teaching, which is not the case we have to deal with. Institutions are often only to meet individual failings.
Well then, again, if you put people upon a pedestal and do a great deal of worship around them, I cannot think but the will in such cases must become rather corrupted, and that lessons of obedience must fall rather harshly Dunsford. Why, you Mahometan, you Turk of a lawyer would you do away with all the high things of courtesy, tenderness for the weaker, and Milverton.
Ah, we will have no more about Sunday-schools. I know we all agree in reality, although Dunsford has been looking very grave and has not said a word. I wanted to tell you that I think you are quite right, Milverton, in saying a good deal about multifariousness of pursuit.
What you say is still wholly built upon inducements, and does not touch the power of will. Milverton. No; it does not. Ellesmere. We must leave that alone. Infinite piles of books have not as yet lifted us up to a clear view of that matter. Dunsford. Well, then, we must leave it as a vexed question; but let it be seen that there is such a question.
