But nothing of that is possible. Clarence makes slaves of us." Cecily reflected. "There's no reason why he should hinder you from going." "Oh, I can't leave you alone," he returned impatiently. "I think you might, for a few weeks if you feel it necessary. I don't think Clarence ought to leave the seaside till the middle of September. The Robinsons will be here still, you know."
Constance also put aside her cup. She was bewildered, and just a little abashed. With courage which came he knew not whence, Christian bent forward and continued speaking: 'Whom could I marry after that day when I met you in the little drawing-room at the Robinsons'?

Why take the trouble to number and register and enfranchise all the innumerable John Robinsons, when you can take one John Robinson with the same intellect or lack of intellect as all the rest, and have done with it? The old idealistic republicans used to found democracy on the idea that all men were equally intelligent.
