# The Painted Veil/Chapter 28

xxviii
THEY were reaching their destination at last. They were borne in chairs, day after day, along a narrow causeway between interminable ricefields. They set out at dawn and travelled till the heat of the day forced them to take shelter in a wayside inn and then went on again till they reached the town where they had arranged to spend the night. Kitty’s chair headed the procession and Walter followed her; then in a straggling line came the coolies that bore their bedding, stores and equipment. Kitty passed through the country with unseeing eyes. All through the long hours, the silence broken only by an occasional remark from one of the bearers or a snatch of uncouth song, she turned over in her tortured mind the details of that heart-rending scene in Charlie’s office. Recalling ​what he had said to her and what she had said to him, she was dismayed to see what an arid and business-like turn their conversation had taken. She had not said what she wanted to say and she had not spoken in the tone she intended. Had she been able to make him see her boundless love, the passion in her heart, and her helplessness, he could never have been so inhuman as to leave her to her fate. She had been taken unawares. She could hardly believe her ears when he told her, more clearly than with words, that he cared nothing for her. That was why she had not even cried very much, she had been so dazed. She had wept since, wept miserably.
At night in the inns, sharing the principal guest chamber with her husband and conscious that Walter, lying on his camp bed, a few feet away from her, lay awake, she dug her teeth in the pillow so that no sound might escape her. But in the daytime, protected by the curtains of her chair, she allowed herself to give way. Her pain was so great that she could have screamed at the top of her voice; she had never known that one could suffer so much; and she asked herself desperately what she had done to deserve it. She could not make out why Charlie did not love her: it was her fault, she supposed, but she had done everything she knew to make him fond of her. They had always got on so well, they laughed all the time they were together, they were not only lovers but good friends. She could not understand; she was broken. She told herself that she hated and despised him; but she had no idea how she was going to live if she was never to see him ​again. If Walter was taking her to Mei-tan-fu as a punishment he was making a fool of himself, for what did she care now what became of her? She had nothing to live for any more. It was rather hard to be finished with life at twenty-seven.

WALTER was in when she got home. She would have liked to go straight to her room, but he was downstairs, in the hall, giving instructions to one of the boys. She was so wretched that she welcomed the humiliation to which she must expose herself. She stopped and faced him:
“I’m coming with you to that place,” she said.
​“Oh, good.”
“When do you want me to be ready?”
“To-morrow night.”
She did not know what spirit of bravado entered into her. His indifference was like the prick of a spear. She said a thing that surprised herself.
“I suppose I needn’t take more than a few summer things and a shroud, need I?”
She was watching his face and knew that her flippancy angered him.
“I’ve already told your amah what you”ll want.”
She nodded and went up to her room. She was very pale.

HE did as she bade and in five minutes she joined him. He was smoking a cigarette.
“I say, could I have a brandy and soda?”
“Yes, I’ll ring.”
“I don’t think it would hurt you by the look of things.”
They waited in silence for the boy to answer. She gave the order.
“Ring up the laboratory and ask if Walter is there,” she said then. “They won’t know your voice.”
He took up the receiver and asked for the number. He inquired whether Dr. Fane was in. He put down the receiver.
“He hasn’t been in since tiffin,” he told her. “Ask the boy whether he has been here.”
“I daren’t. It’ll look so funny if he has and I didn’t see him.”
The boy brought the drinks and Townsend helped himself. When he offered her some she shook her head.
“What’s to be done if it was Walter?” she asked.
“Perhaps he wouldn’t care.”
“Walter?”
Her tone was incredulous.
“It’s always struck me he was rather shy. Some men can’t bear scenes, you know. He’s got sense enough to know that there’s nothing to be gained by making a scandal. I don’t believe for a minute it ​was Walter, but even if it was my impression is that he’ll do nothing. I think he’ll ignore it.”
She reflected for a moment.
“He’s awfully in love with me.”
“Well, that’s all to the good. You’ll get round him.”
He gave her that charming smile of his which she had always found so irresistible. It was a slow smile which started in his clear blue eyes and travelled by perceptible degrees to his shapely mouth. He had small white even teeth. It was a very sensual smile and it made her heart melt in her body.
“I don’t very much care,” she said, with a flash of gaiety. “It was worth it.”
“It was my fault.”
“Why did you come? I was amazed to see you.”
“I couldn’t resist it.”
“You dear.”
She leaned a little towards him, her dark and shining eyes gazing passionately into his, her mouth a little open with desire, and he put his arms round her. She abandoned herself with a sigh of ecstasy to their shelter.
“You know you can always count on me,” he said.
“I”m so happy with you. I wish I could make you as happy as you make me.”
“You’re not frightened any more?”
“I hate Walter,” she answered.
He did not quite know what to say to this, so he kissed her. Her face was very soft against his.
​But he took her wrist on which was a little gold watch and looked at the time.
“Do you know what I must do now?”
“Bolt?” she smiled.
He nodded. For one instant she clung to him more closely, but she felt his desire to go, and she released him.
“It’s shameful the way you neglect your work. Be off with you.”
He could never resist the temptation to flirt.
“You seem in a devil of a hurry to get rid of me,” he said lightly.
“You know that I hate to let you go.”
Her answer was low and deep and serious. He gave a flattered laugh.
“Don’t worry your pretty head about our mysterious visitor. I’m quite sure it was the amah. And if there’s any trouble I guarantee to get you out of it.”
“Have you had a lot of experience?”
His smile was amused and complacent.
“No, but I flatter myself that I’ve got a head screwed on my shoulders.”

# The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/64

TO THE KING.
Heroes of old, by rapine and by ſpoil, In ſearch of fame did all the world embroil. Thus to their gods each then ally’d his name, This ſprang from Jove, and that from Titan came. With equal valour, and the ſame ſucceſs,5 Dread King! might’ſt thou the univerſe oppreſs; But Chriſtian laws conſtrain thy martial pride; Peace is thy choice, and piety thy guide: By thy example kings are taught to ſway, Heroes to fight, and ſaints may learn to pray.10
From gods deſcended, and of race divine, Neſtor in council and Ulyſſes ſhine; But in a day of battle all would yield To the fierce maſter of the ſeven-fold ſhield. Their very deities were grac’d no more;15 Mars had the courage, Jove the thunder bore; But all perfections meet in James alone, And Britain’s king is all the gods in one.18

TO MR. WALLER. In anſwer to Mr. Waller’s verſes to the Author.
When into Libya the young Grecian came, To talk with Hammon, and conſult for fame; When from the ſacred tripod where he ſtood The prieſt, inſpir’d, ſaluted him a god; Scarce ſuch a joy that haughty victor knew,5 Thus own’d by Heav‘’n, as I, thus prais’d by you. Whoe’er their names can in thy numbers ſhow Have more than empire, and immortal grow; Ages to come ſhall ſcorn the pow’rs of old, When in thy verſe of greater gods they ’re told;10 Our beauteous queen and royal James’s name For Jove and Juno ſhall be plac’d by Fame; Thy Charles sor Neptune ſhall the ſeas command, And Sachariſſa ſhall for Venus ſtand; Greece ſhall no longer boaſt, nor haughty Rome, But think from Britain all the gods did come.16
# The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/6

ON THE QUEEN.
When we reflect upon our charming Queen, Her wit, her beauty, her imperial mien, Majeſtic Juno in her air we find,3 The form of Venus, with Minerva’s mind: Who was ſo grac’d, ſhe, ſhe was fit alone With royal James to fill the Britiſh throne.6
# The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/63

TO THE KING.
Tho’ train’d in arms, and learn’d in martial arts, Thou chuſeſt not to conquer men, but hearts; Expecting nations for thy triumphs wait, But thou preferr’ſt the name of Juſt to Great. So Jove ſuſpends his ſubject-world to doom,5 Which would he pleaſe to thunder he ’d conſume. O! could the ghoſts of mighty heroes dead Return on earth, and quit th’ Elyſian ſhade, Brutus to James would truſt the people’s cauſe; Thy juſtice is a ſtronger guard than laws:10 Marius and Sylla would reſign to thee, Nor Cæſar and great Pompey rivals be, Or rivals only who ſhould beſt obey, And Cato give his voice for regal sway.14

ADIEU L’AMOUR.
Here end my chains, and thraldom ceaſe; Is not in joy, I ’ll live at leaſt in peace. Since for the pleaſures of an hour We muſt endure an age of pain, I ’ll be this abject thing no more:5 Love! give me back my heart again.
Deſpair tormented firſt my breaſt, Now Falſehood, a more cruel gueſt. O! for the peace of human-kind, Make women longer true or ſooner kind.10 With juſtice or with mercy reign, O Love! or give me back my heart again.12
# The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/62

TO THE KING, IN THE FIRST YEAR OF HIS MAJESTY’S REIGN.
May all thy years, like this, auſpicious be, And bring thee crowns, and peace, and victory! Scarce hadſt thou time t’ unſheath thy conqu’ring blade; It did but glitter, and the rebels fled. Thy ſword, the ſafeguard of thy brother’s throne,5 Is now as much the bulwark of thy own. Aw’d by thy fame, the trembling nations ſend Throughout the world to court ſo firm a friend; The guilty ſenates that refus’d thy ſway Repent their crime, and haſten to obey;10 Tribute they raiſe, and vows and off’rings bring, Confeſs their frenzy, and confirm their king: Who with their venom overſpread thy ſoil, Thoſe ſcorpions of the ſtate, preſent their oil. So the world’s Saviour, like a mortal dreſs’d,15 Altho’ by daily miracles confeſs’d, Accus’d of evil doctrine by the Jews, The giddy crowd their rightful Prince refuſe; But when they ſaw ſuch terror in the ſkies, The temple rent, their King in glory rise,20 Seiz’d with amaze they own’d their lawful Lord, And, ſtruck with guilt, bow’d, trembled, and ador’d.22

WOMEN.
Women to cards may be compar’d: we play A round or two; when us’d we throw away; Take a freſh pack: nor is it worth our grieving Who cuts or ſhuffles with our dirty leaving.4

SENT TO CLARINDA, WITH A NOVEL, ENTITLED, LES MALHEURS DE L’AMOUR.
Haſte to Clarinda, and reveal Whatever pains poor lovers feel; When that is done, then tell the fair3 That I endure much more for her. Who ’d truly know love’s pow’r or ſmart, Muſt view her eyes and read my heart.6

TO MIRA.
I.
Warn’d and made wiſe by others’ flame, I fled from whence such miſchiefs came; Shunning the ſex that kills at ſight, I ſought my ſafety in my flight.
II.
But, ah! in vain from Fate we fly;5 For, firſt or laſt, as all muſt die, So ’t is as much decreed above That, firſt or laſt, we all muſt love.
III.
My heart, which ſtood ſo long the ſhock Of winds and waves, like ſome firm rock,10 By one bright ſpark from Mira thrown, Is into flame, like powder, blown.12

The Communist Position.
FAR from wishing to "destroy the trade unions" as the right wing claims, the Communist position is exactly the reverse. In the instructions given to all Communist parties by the enlarged session of the Executive of the Communist International held February–March, 1926, it is stated clearly:
New forms of mass organizations like Soviets, only become feasible just at the beginning of the revolution. TO FOSTER THE BELIEF THAT COMMUNISTS WILL BE ABLE, UNDER THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM, TO DEVISE MASS ORGANIZATIONS OTHER THAN TRADE UNIONS IS TO ABANDON THE REALMS OF REALITY. (International Press Correspondence, Vol. 5, No. 47, Page 617—Under heading "Bolshevization and Work in the Trade Unions.")
As to the charge that Communists systematically, or accidentally, minimise the importance of wage and hour struggles, that they care only for "creating discontent" and nothing about the immediate interests of workers in the shape of improvements in their working conditions and living standards, the same resolution quoted above says:
To enable Communists TO TAKE UP A CORRECT ATTITUDE in all movements which bring the workers into conflict with capitalism, COMMUNIST PARTIES MUST MAKE A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF ALL THE FACTORS OF THE CONCRETE CONDITIONS of all such struggles: the nature of the business of the factory or factory groups, the bulk and genuineness of the orders places, the connection and mutual interrelation of the various factories, syndicates and trusts, organized strength and capacity for of resistance of the employers and also the strength of the trade union organizations and the readiness for struggle of both organized and unorganized workers, the possibility of the strike spreading and its political consequences.
Why does the Communist International insist on the Communist parties securing this exact information an develop the greatest possible ability for all situations—great or small?
The answer is obvious. The Communist parties want the workers to WIN. It goes without saying that if Communists cannot show work their class how to win strikes, or how to better their conditions without a strike at times, then it is very unlikely that the working class will follow the lead of the Communists in a revolutionary struggle against capitalism and the capitalist state.
Communist parties have to prove their capability as well as their honesty and devotion to the cause of the working class if, as the above resolution concludes, Communists are "to be in a position to give exact directions and to ensure that they the lead in all proletarian encounters with capitalism."
Defeats of workers by capitalists are, because the Communists are part of the working class, just as bad for them as they are for the workers who do not belong to the party. Communists want EVERY STRUGGLE OF THE WORKERS TO END IN VICTORY.
# The Threat to the Labor Movement/Section 5

National Character of Right Wing Drive.
BUT the new offensive of reaction is not confined to New York or to the needle trades and its official press. It was planned as a nation-wide movement and it developed rapidly in this direction.
Extension of the drive against the left wing to Chicago gave the campaign a national character.
A rapid succession of incidents showed that the drive was not conducted by needle trades officials alone, but that the Chicago Federation of Labor officialdom co-operated actively with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers' officials and the right wing in the Ladies' Garment Workers' Union and the Furriers' union. These events were:
1. The breaking up of the Temple Hall meeting on Friday, Dec. 10, at which Ben Gold, chairman of the Joint Board of the New York Furriers' Union, and Sacha Zimmerman, manager of the dress department of the New York Joint Board of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, were to speak on amalgamation and aid for the cloakmakers' strike. The meeting was under the auspices of the National Needle Trades Committee for Amalgamation, a section of the T. U. E. L.
This meeting was broken up by a combination of police, sluggers and right wing officials, and a right wing meeting held at which Levin, manager, of the Chicago Joint Board of the Amalgamated; Fitzpatrick and Nockels, chairman and secretary of the Chicago Federation of Labor, were the principal speakers.
The Chicago Federation of Labor officialdom thus gave its sanction to the war on the left wing.
2. On Sunday, Dec. 13, another meet​ing under the same auspices, with Ben Gold as the principal speaker, was broken up by the same combination of forces. The manager of Hertzl hall was bought up by the right wing after he had demanded a deposit of $1,000 from the Needle Trades Committee, and the hall turned over to the Amalgamated officials, who were in charge of the fight.
The left wing went to another hall and held a meeting, which the gangsters tried their best to disturb.
3. On Tuesday, Dec. 14, a meeting of the Furriers' union, regularly authorized by the executive board, with International President Shachtman present ,at the time, was held in the Odd Fellows hall at 12th and Albany to hear Ben Gold.
This meeting was likewise broken up by police and gangsters, including officials from other than needle trades unions.
The day before the meeting Edward Nockels, secretary of the Chicago Federation of Labor, called the police department, told them that "a Communist agitator by name of Gold" was "disrupting" the labor movement and that he wanted him taken care of.
In Boston, Hochman of the executive board of the I. L. G. W., with the assistance of gangsters and democratic politicians, broke up a left wing meeting.
The national character of the right wing campaign is clear. It is necessary now to determine two things:
1. If other sections of the labor movement outside of the needle trades, in which Communists are active, were affected.
2. The immediate reason for the launching of the campaign at the time and its connection with the rapid sweep to the right of the official labor movement.
# The Threat to the Labor Movement/Section 35

Goal and Methods of Left Wing.
THE left wing is fighting to make the unions instruments and weapons of the whole working class, to amalgamate them into powerful industrial unions, to bring ALL the workers into the trade unions, to build a labor party based on the trade unions as the mass political expression of the workers.
This fight it will win by raising those issues which are of the most immediate importance to the masses, concentrating all efforts on winning these elementary struggles, exposing the true role of the present labor leadership, organizing, teaching, fighting the battles of the workers, extending the struggle to the whole labor movement and spreading it by determination and activity to the ranks of the unorganized, drawing into the struggle every available force against the agents of capitalism in the labor movement.
As for the Communist Party, its interests, as a revolutionary party, are the same as those of the American working class. The Communists want no better guarantee of the success of the social revolution in America than a powerful trade union movement, honestly and capably led, steeled and skilled in fighting American imperialism.
As the gap between the masses of exploited workers and labor officialdom widens by reason of the open reaction of the latter, the left wing, still small and weak in numbers but mighty with potential power, will tend more and more to become THE labor movement.
The millions of workers in America whose wages have not increased in two years, who toil long hours for low wages and to whom labor officialdom pays no attention except to sabotage their struggles, are a guarantee that the left wing program will become the program of the American masses.
# The Threat to the Labor Movement/Section 4

The Right Wing Press.
THE needle trades press plays the same note.
The Advance, official organ of the Amalgamated, devoted its whole editorial page to the Cloakmakers' strike and said:
What has happened since the beginning of the cloakmakers' strike and what is happening in the Cloakmakers' Union now is but the inevitable outcome of the way in which the Communist Party plays trade union politics. It is the inevitable outcome of the initial sacrifice of industrial policy to politics.
"Justice," official organ of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, likewise devoted its whole editorial page to the strike and the right wing offensive. Speaking of a circular sent to all members of the union except known Communists and left wingers by the General Executive Board, "Justice" says:
It appears at a moment when our members, stunned by the terrific ​blow they have received as a result of the outcome of the cloak strike in New York, and boiling with indignation over the terrible mismanagement of the strike by its Communist leaders and directors, are searching for an answer to this calamity which has befallen their organization and are seeking light and guidance that would lead them out of the morass into which the political adventurers have dragged them.
The searching analysis contained in the G. E. B.'s statement supplies this light abundantly. It lifts the curtain over the New York cloakmakers' tragedy and exposes mercilessly the hypocrisy, insincerity and blatant incompetence which its principal actors, the Communist camarilla, have displayed from the first day they became the masters of the destiny of the 35,000 cloakmakers involved in it.
The stage having been set for an attack all along the line it needed only some rank and file camouflage to allow the officialdom to appear as saviors of the union. A farcial "investigation" was held by the General Executive Board of the I. L. G. W., the board then met in solemn session and passed a resolution ordering the regularly elected members of the Joint Board and strike committee to surrender their positions and turn over all books and property to the G. E. B. Local union executive commitees were removed from office and all positions filled by appointment by the G. E. B.
