"What good'll it do?"
"We'll abolish the whole system."
"Do you really believe that?" said Stover, strangely enough, adopting Hunter's attitude.
"I do; I may know the feeling in the upper classes better than you do."
"Gimbel, how much of this is real opposition and how much is worked up by you and others?"
