From Waste: A Tragedy, In Four Acts by Harley Granville-Barker

Says she's been in Ireland with him since we met at Shapters. He has trouble with his tenantry. (TREBELL: Won't he sell or won't they purchase?) Curious chap. A Don at Balliol when I first knew him. Warped of late years... perhaps by his marriage. (TREBELL: Well... how's Percival?) Better this morning. I told him I'd seen you... and in a little calculated burst of confidence what I'd reason to think you were after. He said you and he could get on though you differed on every point; but he didn't see how you'd pull with such a blasted weak-kneed lot as the rest of the Horsham's cabinet would be. He'll be up in a week or ten days.
