Is there anyone out of Hanwell who will maintain that the Party System, whatever its conveniences or inconveniences, could have been created by people particularly fond of truth? The very English happiness on this point is itself a hypocrisy. When a man really tells the truth, the first truth he tells is that he himself is a liar.
The band wheels off meltingly in a tune all cadences, and twirls, and risings and sinkings, and passionate outbursts trippingly consoled. Ah! how sweet to waltz through life with the right partner. And what a singular thing it is to look back on the day when we thought something like it! Never mind: there may be spheres where it is so managed doubtless the planets have their Hanwell and Bedlam.
I seldom get up in the morning without thinking, 'Well, perhaps to-day he'll have to be taken off." "Taken off?" "Yes, to Hanwell, or wherever it is. And you must remember," she said gazing firmly at the curates, "you've got his blood in your veins. Don't forget that. I suppose you want to make him go back to you, Mrs. Leek, as he certainly ought." "Ye-es," murmured Mrs. Leek feebly.
Even the chapel-service has been brightened up for their behoof. This was what I saw by entering as an amateur fiddler Herr Küster's band at Hanwell Asylum; and as I ran to catch the last up-train which I did as the saying is by the skin of my teeth I felt that I was a wiser, though it may be a sadder man, for my evening's experiences at the Lunatic Ball.
Major Buller turned round on his chair with an anxious face, and a beetle transfixed by a needle in his hand. "It was a very shocking thing," continued Aunt Theresa, taking off her bonnet; "for she had a great-uncle in Hanwell, and her grandfather cut his throat. I suppose it was in the family." Major Buller turned back again, and pinned the beetle by its proper label.
An hour's walking brought me to Hanwell, and I was glad to see a regular chain of locks which must have considerably delayed the Ashlade and Lechton. The afternoon wore on. I went steadily forward, making inquiries as to Thomas's whereabouts from the boats which met me, and always hearing that he was still ahead. Footsore and hungry, I overtook him at Cowley. The two boats were in the lock.
Shaw, Mr. McCabe that never-to-be-forgotten Mr. McCabe each of them by sheer force of logic betrayed into insanity. Just as I am affected by the maniac, so I am affected by most modern thinkers. That unmistakable mood or note that I hear from Hanwell, I hear also from half the chairs of science and seats of learning to-day; and most of the mad doctors are mad doctors in more senses than one.
