"They say truly," Maxendorf admitted, "yet these things are by the way. They occupy a little cell of life no more. It is for the people I live and breathe." "For the people of the world," Maraton persisted slowly "for humanity? Is there any difference in your mind, Maxendorf, between the people of one country and the people of another?" Maxendorf never faltered.
The sun shines. Let us all go into the country. I will get a car. Or what of the river? Perhaps not. I am too restless, I cannot sit still. I will walk about always. And I cannot swim. We will take a car and sometimes we will walk. I go to fetch it now, eh?" Maraton glanced helplessly at Julia. They both laughed. "I have to be back at four o'clock," the former said.
Alone at the table David Ross sat like a figure of stone, his mouth a little open, something of the light in his face. "I'm too much of an Englishman, for one," Graveling said, "to want to pull the country down. Now where does this universal strike come in?" "The universal strike," Maraton explained quietly, "is the doctrine I came to England to preach.
They didn't understand. They have waited so long, they could have waited a little longer." Maraton did not answer until they reached the street. Then he stood a few steps in the background, watching the people as they came out. "I couldn't," he said simply. "I felt as though I were offering stones for bread. The stones were better, perhaps, but the cruelty was the same."
"Are there any terms at all connected with this little subscription?" "None," Beldeman replied. "And your object," Maraton added, "is to benefit through our loss of trade?" "Entirely," Mr. Beldeman assented, without a quiver upon his face. Maraton was silent for a moment. "I do not see my way absolutely clear," he announced, "to recommending a railway strike at the present moment.
Maraton, to explain to us just what you meant down at the Clarion the other night? We weren't expecting you there and you rather took us aback, and we didn't find what you said altogether helpful or particularly lucid. Now what's this business about a universal strike?" Maraton sat for a moment almost silent.
He had the air of a man who prepares a bombshell. Maraton stretched out his hand toward it. "Is that for me?" he asked. Peter Dale kept his fingers upon it. "Its contents concern you," he announced. "I'll read it, if you'll be so good as to listen. Came as a bit of a shock to us, I must confess." "Anonymous?" Maraton murmured.
It is for that reason that I begged you to come here to-night and discuss the matter with me before you committed yourself to any definite plan of action in this country." "Your message was a surprise to me," Maraton admitted calmly. "At the same time, it was a summons which I could not disregard. As you see, I am here." Mr.
He had a strong, intellectual forehead, a well-shaped mouth. His voice, when he spoke, was pleasant, although his accent was peculiar almost foreign. "Mr. Maraton," his visitor began, "I thank you very much for your courtesy, but I have nothing to do with the Press. My name is Beldeman. I have come to Manchester especially to see you." Maraton nodded. "We are strangers, I believe?" he asked.
"I am, without a doubt, the man," Maraton assented cheerfully. "I am an enemy of your class, Mrs. Bollington-Watts. Your husband is the steel millionaire, isn't he? And I am also a Socialist of the most militant and modern type. Nevertheless, I can assure you, for these few moments you are perfectly safe." Mrs. Bollington-Watts drew a little breath.
