I even thought once of writing Perry Blackwood to ask him to make a list of the volumes in Krebs's little library; but I was ashamed to do this. Dr. Strafford still remained with me.
And I remembered Krebs's words that we must "reeducate ourselves." What did I know? A system of law, inherited from another social order, that was utterly unable to cope with the complexities and miseries and injustices of a modern industrial world. I had spent my days in mastering an inadequate and archaic code why? in order that I might learn how to evade it? This in itself condemned it.
"I'm afraid it wouldn't have been any use," I replied. "He was in my class at Harvard. I knew him slightly. He worked his way through, and had a pretty hard time of it. I imagine it affected his ideas." "What is he, a Socialist?" "Something of the sort." In Theodore Watling's vigorous, sanity-exhaling presence Krebs's act appeared fantastic, ridiculous.
"Say, I guess we've got Krebs's goat all right, this time," he told me confidentially, in a voice a little above a whisper; "he was busy with the shirt-waist girls last year, you remember, when they were striking.
Krebs's fingers closed over the paper, crumpling it. "Oh, then, you know about this," he said. He was putting the paper back into his pocket when I took it from him. But my adroitness, so carefully schooled, seemed momentarily to have deserted me. What should I say? It was necessary to decide quickly. "Don't you take rather a prejudiced view of this, Krebs?" I said.
