The New Brotherhood still exists, and grows. There are many who imagined
that as it had been raised out of the earth by Elsmere's genius, so it
would sink with him. Not so! He would have fought the struggle to
victory with surpassing force, with a brilliancy and rapidity none after
him could rival. But the struggle was not his. His effort was but a
fraction of the effort of the race. In that effort, and in the Divine
force behind it, is our trust, as was his.

'Others, I doubt not, if not we,
The issue of our toils shall see;
And (they forgotten and unknown)
Young children gather as their own
The harvest that the dead had sown.

[and a ]desirable marriage spoilt, all for want of a little
common [sense and ]plain speaking, which _one_ person at
least in the [valley co]uld have supplied them with, had she
not been ignored [and brow] beaten on all sides. She
contained herself, however, [in his pres]ence, but the vicar
suffered proportionately in the [privacy of ]the connubial
chamber. He had never seen his wife [so exasperat]ed. To
think what might have been, what she [might have] done for
the race, but for the whims of two stuck-[up, sup]erior,
impracticable young persons, that would neither [ma]nage
their own affairs nor allow other people to manage [th]em for
them! The vicar behaved gallantly, kept the secret
