Shoesmith broke from his meditation. "Rather. With comments." "Naylor surpassed himself and negotiated the lemon safely home," said Shoesmith. "Shut it," said Naylor modestly. "Exactly," said Cossington. "That gives us three features," touching them off on his fingers, "Epigram, Literary Section, Sports. Then we want a section to shove anything into, a joke, a notice of anything that's going on.
"He cares for me." "How?" "He thinks this is a fearful mess for me. He wants to pull it straight." We sat for a time in silence, with imaginations that obstinately refused to take up the realities of this proposition. "I don't want you to marry Shoesmith," I said at last. "Don't you like him?" "Not as your husband." "He's a very clever and sturdy person and very generous and devoted to me."
"She's she's going to marry Arnold Shoesmith." I wasn't looking now at Margaret any more, but I heard the rustle of her movement as she turned on me. "It's all right," I said, clinging to my explanation. "We're doing nothing shabby. He knows. He will. It's all as right as things can be now. We're not cheating any one, Margaret. We're doing things straight now.
I've done more for him than you, sir." "That's not my fault!" "Perhaps not; but I've done more for him than you ever will, sir!" "How do you make that out?" "I've made him as good a shoesmith as ever drove nail! I don't say he's up to his grandfather at the anvil yet, but " "An accomplishment no doubt, but not exactly necessary to a gentleman!"
There was a lover or so in that time, men who came a little timidly at this brilliant young person with the frank manner and the Amazonian mind, and, she declared, received her kindly refusals with manifest relief. And Arnold Shoesmith struck up a sort of friendship that oddly imitated mine.
He was elected at his own suggestion managing director, with the earnest support of Shoesmith and Naylor, and conducted the magazine so successfully and brilliantly that he even got a whole back page of advertisements from the big sports shop in Holborn, and made the printers pay at the same rate for a notice of certain books of their own which they said they had inserted by inadvertency to fill up space.
"Some of the chaps' people won't like it," said Naylor, "certain not to. And it sounds Rum." "Sounds Weird," said a boy who had not hitherto spoken. "We aren't going to do anything Queer," said Shoesmith, pointedly not looking at Britten. The question of the title had manifestly gone against us. "Oh! HAVE it ARVONIAN," I said. "And next, what size shall we have?" said Cossington.
And yet if it were possible to tell the very heart of our story.... "Does Margaret really want to go on with you?" she asked "shield you knowing of... THIS?" "I'm certain. I don't understand just as I don't understand Shoesmith, but she does. These people walk on solid ground which is just thin air to us. They've got something we haven't got. Assurances? I wonder."...
As I will explain later, we were feminist from the outset, though that caused Shoesmith and Gane great searching of heart; we developed Esmeer's House of Lords reform scheme into a general cult of the aristocratic virtues, and we did much to humanise and liberalise the narrow excellencies of that Break-up of the Poor Law agitation, which had been organised originally by Beatrice and Sidney Webb.
Build your ship of state as you will; get your men as you will; I concentrate on what is clearly the affair of my sort of man, I want to ensure the quality of the quarter deck." "Hear, hear!" said Shoesmith, suddenly his first remark for a long time. "A first-rate figure," said Shoesmith, gripping it. "Our danger is in missing that," I went on.
