In short, to put it bluntly, what are you doing?" "Doing nothing, as yet," said Brown cheerfully, "but I want to do a lot. I have got this Galician colony in my eye." "I beg your pardon," said French, "are you by any chance a preacher?" "Well, I may be, though I can't preach much. But my main line is the kiddies.
Amongst the Rutherian or Galician people there arose a religious controversy, and a religious controversy is a hard thing for civil authority to tackle. But Constantine was a very discreet officer. He saw how easily a serious conflict on the subject might be precipitated amongst an excitable people.
Fifty men were eating when Aldous went in, devouring their soup with the utter abandon and joy of the Galician, so that the noise they made was like the noise of fifty pigs at fifty troughs.
