Excerpt from Phantom Fortune, Vol. 2: A Novel Oh, you have no idea what a fellow Hammond is to lecture, ' answered Maulevrier. 'he is a tremendous Radical, and he thinks that every young man in my position ought to be a reformer, and devote the greater part of his time and trouble to turning out the dirty corners of the world, upsetting those poor dear families who like to pig together in one room, ordering all the children off to school, marryn the fathers and mothers, thrusting himself between free labour and free beer, and interfering with the liberty of the subject in every direction.' All that may sound like Radicalism, but 'i think it is the true Conservatism, and that every young man ought to do as much, if he wants this timeworn old country to maintain its power and prosperity, ' answered Lady Maulevrier, with an approving glance at John Hammond's thoughtful face.
