A busy, clever, useful man, who has been at work all his life, finds that his own progress towards success demands from him that he shall become a politician.

The highest work of a lawyer can only be reached through political struggle.

As a large-minded man of the world, peculiarly conversant with the fact that every question has two sides, and that as much may often be said on one side as on the other, he has probably not become violent in his feelings as a political partisan.

Thus he sees that there is an opening here or an opening there, and the offence in either case is not great to him.
With Frank Greystock the matter was very easy.

There certainly was no apostasy.
