Human helplessness, human agony—set against the careless joy of nature—there is no new way of feeling these things. But not to have felt them, and with the mad, impotent passion and outcry which filled Marcella's heart at this moment, is never to have risen to the full stature of our kind.

"The theory of the 'living wage,' of which more recent days have heard so much, was preached in other terms, but with equal vigour[.]"
Sound familiar? I should hope so. And, mind you, this is a work of 1894 referencing an even earlier period.

'What is justice?' she cried; 'the system that wastes human lives in protecting your tame pheasants?'

This far in, I have to say, I'm liking this a whole lot better than I thought I would. The prose rolls along quite nicely, the heart of the politics is in the right place, the author isn't afraid of a healthy amount of digression, her characters are entertaining when they need to be and largely credible otherwise, and I am always a sucker for aesthetics both natural and architectural. I do hope it keeps up.

Well, I've established a few things: namely, Marcella, or whoever the author modeled her on, is definitely not straight.
