GRANDMOTHER: Don't talk to me as if I was feeble-minded. SILAS: I'm talking with all the mind I've got. If there's not mind in what I say, it's because I've got no mind. Seeing as you gave it to me. FEJEVARY: Ah, no I didn't give it to you. SILAS: Well, you made me know 'twas there. You said things that woke things in me and I thought about them as I ploughed.
FEJEVARY: To me this is reality the robust spirit created by all these young people. HOLDEN: Do you think it is robust? FEJEVARY: This day has to be itself. Certain things go others come; life is change. HOLDEN: Perhaps it's myself I'm discouraged with. Do you remember the tenth anniversary of the founding of Morton College. FEJEVARY: The tenth? Oh yes, that was when this library was opened.
Some ways they had it fierce, but think of the fun they had! A whole big land to open up! A big new life to begin! Just a little way back anything might have been. What happened? Prosperous, I suppose. That seems to set things set them in fear. Silas Morton wasn't afraid of Felix Fejevary, the Hungarian revolutionist. He laid this country at that refugee's feet!
One reason I wanted this talk with you first, if I do have any trouble with Madeline I want you to help me. HOLDEN: Oh, I can't do that. FEJEVARY: You aren't running out and clubbing the police. Tell her she'll have to think things over and express herself with a little more dignity. HOLDEN: I ask to be excused from being present while you talk with her.
FEJEVARY: It fights with what's there. From underneath. As if I'd known it all along but have just found out I know it! Yes. The earth told me. The beasts told me. GRANDMOTHER: Fine place to learn things from. SILAS: Anyhow, haven't I seen it? How long has this taken, Felix, to well, you might say, bring us where we are now?
FEJEVARY: I'm afraid I've not done much for any country. Though your left arm's nothing alongside what can't be measured. FEJEVARY: When I think of what I dreamed as a young man it seems to me my life has failed. GRANDMOTHER: There's two kinds Mr Fejevary. These have seeds in 'em. FEJEVARY: Thank you. I'll try a seed cookie first. SILAS: Mother, you'll have a glass of wine?
FEJEVARY: In the scholar's world we're known because of him. And really, Holden's not a radical in the worst sense. What he doesn't see is expediency. Not enough the man of affairs to realize that we can't always have literally what we have theoretically. He's an idealist. Something of the man of vision.
FELIX: I've been thinking about them myself walking around the town to-day. It's grown so much this year, and in a way that means more growing that big glucose plant going up down the river, the new lumber mill all that means many more people. FEJEVARY: And they've even bought ground for a steel works. SILAS: Yes, a city will rise from these cornfields a big rich place that's bound to be.
Now now isn't this too bad? I don't say things right. It's because I never went to school. SILAS: Yes. Yes, mother. So I did. And I'm glad I did. FEJEVARY: It's beautiful this summer. She was so pleased with the new purple kind you gave her. I do wish you could get over to see them. GRANDMOTHER: Yes. Well, I've seen lots of pansies. Suppose it was pretty fine-sounding speeches they had in town?
But things have changed, so I wondered if I might have a little talk with you now. HOLDEN: To be sure. FEJEVARY: I don't know. Nice and quiet up here. HARRY: Yes, it's locked. FEJEVARY: And there's no one in here? HARRY: No, I've been all through. FEJEVARY: There's a committee downstairs. Oh, this is a terrible day. Harry, when my niece when Miss Morton arrives I want you to come and let me know.
