I hope you will not visit the very learned Herr Nicolai, the insipid prosaist, the puffed-up rationalist, who believes that his knowledge permits him to penetrate every thing, and who is a veritable ass." "No, I am not going to Nicolai, Rammler, or Engel, or, as they should be named, the wise authors of Berlin.
No other clergyman to whom he had spoken on this subject had given evidence of this strong feeling, and the rector of St. John's was the last man from whom he would have expected it. "Do you really think so?" Hodder demanded. "Why, yes," said Mr. Engel, when he had recovered from his astonishment. "I'm sure of it.
"I beg your pardon, Jimmie, dear!" murmured Bee. "It is possible," said Bee to Von Engel. "We never make plans, you know. We go whenever we are bored, or when we have nothing pleasant to look forward to." "Oh, then, pray remain! We shall fly to see you the moment we are free!" "That surely is an inducement," said Bee, with a little laugh, which caused Von Engel to colour.

But their worthy forerunners were equally reactionary. They found no constitutional grounds for reversal! Of course not, even though the right of free speech and assembly had been trampled underfoot at the Haymarket Square, the right to a fair trial made into a cruel farce. On November 11, 1887, Albert Parsons, August Spies, Adolph Fischer and George Engel were led out to the gallows.
"Look there," said the librarian, with a quick wave of his hand, "those are some which came in this week, and I had them put here to look over. Two-thirds of 'em on religion, or religious philosophy.
