ever will be very much of a Forsyte, and might, after all, be a much worse animal. Looking back on the Victorian era, whose ripeness, decline, and `fall-of' is in some sort pictured in "The Forsyte Saga," we see now that we have but jumped out of a frying-pan into a fire. It would be difficult to substantiate a claim that the case of England was better in 1913 than it was in 1886, when the Forsytes assembled at Old Jolyon's to celebrate the engagement of June to Philip Bosinney. And in 1920, when again the clan gathered to bless the marriage of Fleur with Michael Mont, the state of England is as surely too molten and bankrupt as in the eighties it was too congealed and low-percented. If these chronicles had been a really scientific study of transition one would have dwelt probably on such factors as the invention of bicycle, motor-car, and flying- machine; the arrival of a cheap Press; the decline of country life and increase of the towns; the birth of the Cinema

Lihvitud klaasist kroonlühter põlevate küünaldega rippus nagu hiiglaslik stalaktiit laua kohal, pildudes kiiri suurtele kuldraamidega peeglitele, kõrvallaudade marmorpealseile ja raskeile tikitud istmetega kuldtoolidele.
