Synopsis
Excerpt from The People of the Ruins a Story of the English, Revolution and After
These discussions were mingled with more practical but equally windy disputes on the questions whether the railwaymen would come out, whether the miners were bluffing, what Bob Hart was going to do, and much more besides on the Same level of interest. There had been also a youth with great superiority of manner, who seemed as tedious and irritating to the politicians as they were to Jeremy - a sort of super bore who stated at intervals that the General Strike was a myth, but praised all and sundry for talking about it and threatening it. It had been - hadn't it a studio party. At least, Jeremy had gone to it on that understanding; but the political push had rushed it somehow, and had bored everybody else to tears. Jeremy, who did not very much relish political argu ment, had applied himself to a kind of pleasure he could better understand. He now remembered little enough of those long, muddling disputations, punctu ated by visits to the sideboard, but he knew that his head ached terribly. Aspirin tablets washed down with whisky would probably not be much good, but they would be better than nothing. He took some.
