They all laughed, looking about at the few hundred volumes on the shelves, but Frieda said earnestly: "There are many Germans here, Dr. Harlow told me. And the older ones cannot read English. Can they have no share in the library?" "That's right," said Alice. "They are taxpayers and I should think you ought to get a few German books every year, Catherine. It's done in other places."
The next morning after breakfast, Philpot, Sawkins, Harlow and Barrington went to the Yard to get the long ladder the 65 so called because it had sixty-five rungs. It was really what is known as a builder's scaffold ladder, and it had been strengthened by several iron bolts or rods which passed through just under some of the rungs.
The finale of this tale was received with a burst of incredulous laughter by those who heard it. 'Do you 'ear what Harlow says, Bob? Easton shouted to Crass. 'No. What was it? ''E ses 'e once 'ad a chance to 'ave something but 'e wouldn't take it on because it was too ugly! 'If it 'ad bin me, I should 'ave shut me bl y eyes, cried Sawkins. 'I wouldn't pass it for a trifle like that.
He was an effective speaker; the audience punctuated his speech with cheers, and when he wound up with an earnest appeal to them as working men to vote for Adam Sweater, their enthusiasm knew no bounds. 'I've seen him somewhere before, remarked Barrington, who was standing in the crowd with Harlow, Owen and Easton. 'So have I, said Owen, with a puzzled expression.
Nearly everyone had something to say in reprobation of the views suggested by Owen. Harlow, in a brief but powerful speech, bristling with numerous sanguinary references to the bottomless pit, protested against any interference with the sacred rights of property.
Harlow attended to ticket-buying, the young people clustered together, talking at random and laughing easily. "It will be so lonely without you all," sighed Bess. "All the other college folk will be off by Tuesday at the latest, and here we shall languish!" "You'll not have much time to languish if you assist in the kindergarten, Winifred," said Catherine affectionately.
'Yes, remarked another philosopher. 'If we only had a shove-ha'penny table or a ring board, I reckon we should be able to enjoy ourselves all right. Philpot and Harlow were still absent, and the others again fell to wondering where they could be. 'I see old Joe up on 'is ladder only a few minutes before twelve, remarked Wantley. Everyone agreed that it was a mystery.
'A couple of them in a week besides your week's wages, eh? Five bob for two or three hours work! 'Yes, the money's all right, mate, but they're welcome to it for my part. I don't want to go messin' about with no corpses, replied Philpot with a shudder. 'Who is this last party what's dead? asked Harlow after a pause. 'It's a parson what used to belong to the "Shining Light" Chapel.
Remarking that the print was too small for his own eyes, he passed the slip of paper to Harlow, who read aloud as follows: PROVE YOUR PRINCIPLES: OR, LOOK AT BOTH SIDES 'I wish I could open your eyes to the true misery of our condition: injustice, tyranny and oppression! said a discontented hack to a weary-looking cob as they stood side by side in unhired cabs.
'You don't think they'd be sich bloody fools as to work for nothing, do you? said Newman. 'I suppose you think they ought all to get the same wages! cried Harlow. 'Do you think it's right that a scavenger should get as much as a painter? 'I'm not speaking about that at all, replied Owen. 'I'm trying to show you what I think is one of the causes of poverty.
