FEJEVARY: How is Mrs Holden? HOLDEN: Better, thank you, but not strong. FEJEVARY: She needs the very best of care for a time, doesn't she? HOLDEN: Yes. It's the first of the month. FEJEVARY: And illness hasn't reduced the bills? FEJEVARY: But you speak despondently of us. And there's been such a fine note of optimism in the exercises. HOLDEN: I didn't seem to want a fine note of optimism.
You see, the town for the most part swung around the other side of the hill, so the Morton place is still a farm. SENATOR: But you're growing all the while. The town'll take the cornfield yet. FEJEVARY: Yes, our steel works is making us a city. FEJEVARY: Yes that was my idea.
SENATOR: If he had the right vision he'd see that we don't every minute have literally what we have theoretically because we're fighting to keep the thing we have. Oh, I sometimes think the man of affairs has the only vision. Take you, Mr Fejevary a banker. These teachers books books! I know something about these things. I went to the State House because my community persuaded me it was my duty.
FEJEVARY: So you are going to use Silas Morton's money to knife his college. MADELINE: Oh, Uncle Felix, that's silly. FEJEVARY: It's a long way from silly. You know a little about what I'm trying to do this appropriation that would assure our future. If Silas Morton's granddaughter casts in her lot with revolutionists, Morton College will get no help from the state.
FEJEVARY: And this is what you say to me at the close of my years of trusteeship! Have I has my house been nothing to you all these years? MADELINE: I've had my best times at your house. Things wouldn't have been very gay for me without you all though Horace gets my goat! FEJEVARY: And does your Aunt Isabel 'get your goat'? MADELINE: I love auntie. What has that got to do with it?
MADELINE: You think you can keep me in here? FEJEVARY: Listen, Madeline plain, straight truth. If you go out there and get in trouble a second time, I can't make it right for you. MADELINE: You needn't! FEJEVARY: You don't know what it means. These things are not child's play not today. You could get twenty years in prison for things you'll say if you rush out there now.
HOLDEN: Forgive me, but I don't think you've had certain temptations to selfishness. FEJEVARY: How do you know what I've had? You have no way of knowing what's in me what other thing I might have been? You know my heritage; you think that's left nothing? But I find myself here in America. I love those dependent on me.
FEJEVARY: I should think you would have a little emotion about the war about America when you consider where your brother is. MADELINE: Fred had all kinds of reasons for going to France. He wanted a trip. Heavens, Fred didn't make speeches about himself. Wanted to see Paris poor kid, he never did see Paris. Wanted to be with a lot of fellows knock the Kaiser's block off end war, get a French girl.
They did something pretty nice for the corn belt when they drove you out of Hungary. Funny how things don't end the way they begin. I mean, what begins don't end. It's another thing ends. Set out to do something for your own country and maybe you don't quite do the thing you set out to do FEJEVARY: No. SILAS: But do something for a country a long way off.
SENATOR: I admit I am very favourably impressed. FEJEVARY: I hope you'll tell your committee so and let me have a chance to talk to them. SENATOR: Let's see, haven't you a pretty radical man here? FEJEVARY: I wonder if you mean Holden? SENATOR: Holden's the man. I've read things that make me question his Americanism. SENATOR: But we don't want radical human beings.
