“When she inveighed eloquently against the evils of capitalism at drawing-room meetings and Fabian conferences she was concious of a comfortable feeling that the system with all its inequalities and iniquities, would probably last her time. It is one of the consolations of middle-aged reformers that the good they inculcate must live after them if it is to live at all.”
