It would be quite easy for anyone with the knack1 of reserve to go on from this point with a history of Lady Harman that would present her as practically a pure philanthropist. For from these beginnings she was destined2 to proceed to more and more knowledge and understanding and clear purpose and capable work in this interesting process of collective regrouping, this process which may even at last justify3 Mr. Brumley's courageous4 interpretations5 and prove to be an early experiment in the beginning of a new social order. Perhaps some day there will be an official biography, another addition to the inscrutable records of British public lives, in which all these things will be set out with tact6 and dignity. Horatio Blenker or Adolphus Blenker may survive to be entrusted7 with this congenial task. She will be represented as a tall inanimate person pursuing one clear benevolent8 purpose in life from her very beginning, and Sir Isaac and her relations with Sir Isaac will be rescued from reality. The book will be illustrated9 by a number of carefully posed photographer's photographs of her, studies of the Putney house and perhaps an unappetizing woodcut of her early home at Penge. The aim of all British biography is to conceal10. A great deal of what we have already told will certainly not figure in any such biography, and still more certainly will the things we have yet to tell be missing.
