He stood lost in sombrepreoccupations. "No, " said Ostrog. "The day of the common man is past. On the opencountryside one man is as good as another, or nearly as good. Theearlier aristocracy had a precarious tenure of strength and audacity. They were tempered--tempered. There were insurrections, duels, riots. The first real aristocracy, the first permanent aristocracy, came inwith castles and armour, and vanished before the musket and bow. Butthis is the second aristocracy. The real one. Those ...days of gunpowderand democracy were only an eddy in the stream. The common man now is ahelpless unit. In these days we have this great machine of the city, andan organisation complex beyond his understanding. " "Yet, " said Graham, "there is something resists, something you areholding down--something that stirs and presses. " "You will see, " said Ostrog, with a forced smile that would brush thesedifficult questions aside. "I have not roused the force to destroymyself--trust me. " "I wonder, " said Graham.
