Hardly-entreated Brother! For us was thy back so bent, for us were thy straight limbs and fingers so deformed; thou wert our conscript, on whom the lot fell, and fighting our battles wert so marred. Heavens! how the words swing! But it is great nonsense, you know, for you and me Venturists to be maundering like this. Charity benevolence that is all Carlyle is leading up to.
If it is true that books have their fates, it is still more true of newspapers. Was it that a collectivist paper the rival organ mentioned by Wilkins recently started by a group of young and outrageously clever Venturists and more closely in touch than the Clarion with two or three of the great unions, had filched the Clarion's ground?
I think your Marcella is beautiful, and as interesting as she is beautiful. There!" Aldous started, then turned a grateful face upon him. "You must get to know her well," he said, but with some constraint. "Of course. I wonder," said Hallin, musing, "whom she has got hold of among the Venturists. Shall you persuade her to come out of that, do you think, Aldous?" "No!" said Raeburn, cheerfully.
At present I have lent them a goodish sum of money and remitted them their first half-year's rent. Not so far a paying speculation. But it will do some day. Meanwhile the estate wants money and my plans and I want money badly. I propose to make the Labour Clarion pay if I can. That will give me more time for speaking and organising, for what concerns us as Venturists than the Bar."
Now perhaps I have earned a few poor, little opinions but they are a ragged bundle and I have never any time to sort them." "Have you left the Venturists?" "No! but I am full of perplexities; and the Cravens, I see, will soon be for turning me out. You understand I know some working folk now!" "So you did last year." "No!" she insisted, shaking her head "that was all different.
He had lately joined the Venturists. Anthony had taken a fancy to him. Louis as yet knew little or nothing of him. "Ah, well!" he said, in reply to his brother, "I don't know. I think the Clarion can do something. The press grows more and more powerful in these things."
She and her brothers were typical Venturists a little cynical, therefore, towards all the world, friend or foe. A Venturist is a Socialist minus cant, and a cause which cannot exist at all without a passion of sentiment lays it down through him as a first law, that sentiment in public is the abominable thing.
One evening Anthony brought home from a meeting of the Venturists that George Denny, the son of one of the principal employers in the Damesley trade, whose name he had mentioned once before in Marcella's ears.
"You forget," said Anthony, as he calmly helped himself to more bread and butter, "that it is some three years since Master Harry Wharton joined the Venturists and began to be heard of at all. I watched his beginnings, and if I didn't know him well, my friends and Louis's did. And most of them as he knows! have pretty strong opinions by now about the man."
She had ceased to take a system cut and dried from the Venturists, or any one else; she had ceased to think of whole classes of civilised society with abhorrence and contempt; and there had dawned in her that temper which is in truth implied in all the more majestic conceptions of the State the temper that regards the main institutions of every great civilisation, whether it be property, or law, or religious custom, as necessarily, in some degree, divine and sacred.
