I think we ought to have given Stenson a week time to communicate with America and send a mission to France." "We are like all theorists," Furley declared moodily, stopping to relight his pipe. "We create and destroy on palter with amazing facility. When it comes to practice, we are funks." "Are you funking this?" Julian asked bluntly. "How can any one help it?
"So long as the world exists," Julian remarked, "there must be Socialists, and Furley is at least honest." "My dear Julian," his mother protested, "how can a Socialist be honest! Their attitude with regard to the war, too, is simply disgraceful. I am sure that in any other country that man Fenn, for instance, would be shot." "What about your house party?" Julian enquired, with bland irrelevance.
He, at any rate, if others in his Cabinet are not so prescient, knows what Labour means." "I agree with the Bishop, for many reasons," Furley pronounced. "And I," Cross echoed. The sense of the meeting was obvious. Fenn's unpleasant looking teeth flashed for a moment, and his mouth came together with a little snap. "This is entirely an informal gathering," he said.
"Remember, I am new to this thing in practice, even though I may be responsible for some of the theory." "It is the people who are the soundest directors of a nation's policy," Furley pronounced. "High politics becomes too much like a game of chess, hedged all around with etiquette and precedent. It's human life we want to save, Julian.
The contrast between the two men might indeed have afforded some ground for speculation as to the nature of their intimacy. Furley, a son of the people, had the air of cultivating, even clinging to a certain plebeian strain, never so apparent as when he spoke, or in his gestures.
Miss Abbeway is in no sense of the word a German spy. She and I, Mr. Furley here, Mr. Fenn and Mr. Bright, all belong to an organisation leagued together for one purpose we are determined to end the war." "Pacifists!" Julian muttered. "An idle word," the Bishop protested, "because at heart we are all pacifists. There is not one of us who would wilfully choose war instead of peace.
"No inconvenience at all," Julian declared, stretching himself out. "I suppose I must have a pretty tough skull." "Any news?" "News enough, of a sort, if you haven't heard it. They caught the man who sandbagged me, and who I presume sawed your plank through, and shot him last night." "The devil they did!" Furley exclaimed, taking his pipe from his mouth. "Shot him? Who the mischief was he, then?"
"To be sure I do," said Mr. Tulliver, rather angrily. "What o' that? If Furley can't take to the property, somebody else can; there's plenty o' people in the world besides Furley. But it's hindering my not being well go and tell 'em to get the horse in the gig, Luke; I can get down to St. Ogg's well enough Gore's expecting me." "No, dear father!"
"I don't want to hurry any one," he said, "but my father is rather a martinet about luncheon." They all rose. Mr. Stenson turned to Julian. "Will you go on with Miss Abbeway?" he begged. "I will catch up with you on the marshes. I want to have just a word with Furley."
"You come to a sort of stile at the end of about three hundred yards," Furley continued. "You get over that, and the bank breaks up into two. You keep to the left, and it leads you right down into the marsh. Turn seaward. It will be a nasty scramble, but there will only be about fifty yards of it. Then you get to a bit of rough ground a bank of grass-grown sand.
