A slight set-back was encountered by Morse and his associates at this time by the denial of an injunction against F.O.J. Smith, and, in a letter to Mr. Kendall of December 4, the long-suffering inventor exclaims:
And this we can only do by keeping in mind that vital ideal which in spite of every set-back the world has contrived to preserve, and endeavouring to discover what it is short of that ideal, or remote from it that the modern public wants: what taste it is that hundreds of modern authors are trying to satisfy. It is evidently a very various taste, for it is the taste of the whole people.
'Where are you lunching? 'At Brooks', with my father. 'Oh, then I'll walk there with you. They struck across the park, and talk fell on a recent small set-back which had happened to a regiment with which they were both well acquainted. Chicksands shrugged his shoulders. 'I've heard some details at the War Office. Just ten minutes' rot! The Colonel stopped it with his revolver.
Not infrequently puerperal patients who are feeling well attempt too much, and suffer a more or less serious set-back; it is an all- important duty of the obstetrician, therefore, to restrain them from harmful activity.
The first three months after the Armistice the general expectation was for a set-back in business conditions due to the withdrawal of the enormous government War-time demand. Employers and trade unions stood equally undecided.
Both Germany and the United States are suffering from a similar commercial contraction, and in both countries, in spite of their high and elaborate protective tariffs, a trade set-back has been accompanied by severe industrial dislocation and unemployment. In the United States of America, particularly, I am informed that unemployment has recently been more general than in this country.
I hesitate to speak on the subject, since I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet; but as to the ultimate outcome there is, of course, no doubt. This temporary set-back will lead to safer institutions and more conservative management upon the part of everyone, and this is a quality we need. It will not long depress our wonderful spirit of initiative.
"You are very conservative, Lady Elza. You want very much to avoid hypocrisy, don't you?" "Yes," she said frankly. "You could hardly expect me to be sorry at your defeat." "Defeat?" He rasped out the word, and his laugh was harsh. "You are too optimistic. Defeat? Things going wrong? That is not so. A slight set-back.
If I give them bread there's no profit for you they'll eat it all; but if I give them money you'll exact a commission from them of one pesa in five. Isn't that so? Go and bring the bread." He decided to turn the set-back into at any rate a minor victory and went in person to the kitchen for chupatties such as the servants ate.
The publication of Maud in 1855 gave his rapidly growing popularity a perceptible set-back, though it has since risen in favour. But this was far more than made up for by the enthusiasm with which the first set of The Idylls of the King was received on its appearance four years later.
