heard rumours- they were alarmed- they did not
know what to do about it- they did not know
whom to trust- it was a happy opportunity- a real

necessary- they need not trouble themselves- it should
meet them there. It should meet them there! accordingly
it did meet them there: - & why? that every thing
not fit to be seen might first be put out of sight as
much as possible:- that part of the filth might be
shoveled away:_ that eatable food might for the moment
take place of uneatable: that the plague of famine
might for the time be stayed: that in the motley
company there each person might have his part given
him to act: that instructions might be given to one
class, injunctions backed with menaces to another:
that every mouth might have a padlock put to it:
that a varnish of some sort or other might be put
upon every object- that a mask of some sort or other
m might be put upon every face..

virtual confession of male-practice below, of connivance
and protection above_ of guilt in both places, the
principle of unexpected visitation- so fundamental
a principle in economics- a principle so universally
recognized
