Her mercy! How merciful would she be - to the thief she loved? He
knew, he must know, all the inner secrets of the gang. She smiled
wanly now as she reached the landing. Would he know that in the
last analysis her threat would be only an idle one; that, though her
future, her safety, her life depended on obtaining the evidence she
felt he could supply, her threat would be empty, and that she was
powerless - because she loved him. But he did not know she loved

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Pagan and Christian Creeds by Edward Carpenter: organization of ALL (as in the corresponding functions
of the human Body). Class rule has been the mark of that
second period of human evolution, and has inevitably
given birth during that period to wars and self-agrandizements
of classes and sections, and their consequent greeds

found in the primitive human tribes and societies, and
will not be found in the final forms of human association.
The liberated and emancipated Man passes unconstrained and
unconstraining through all grades and planes of human fellowship,
equal and undisturbed, and never leaving his true
Pagan and Christian Creeds |
