Let him struggle and cry "Excelsior!" and fix his eyes upon the heights, let him devote himself to prayer or go grimly on his way with averted eyes, let him become cynic or misogynist, what's it matter? Sooner or later she lays hands upon him and claims him as her child. Man, woman and love.
Although it did not cry "Excelsior," its output of vocables might have been mistaken, by a casual ear, for that clarion call. What the Honorable Mr. Linder actually shouted was: "Getthehelloutofhere!" The performer upturned a mild and vacant face. "What you say?" he inquired in a softly Teutonic accent. The Honorable William Linder made urgent gestures, like a brakeman. "Go away! Move on!"
