. . . I don't think you were really very glad to see me this evening . . . I sometimes think that Northcliffe & his obscene crew may perhaps be right - that . . . I am . . . a failure . . . What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, & lose his own soul?

Asquith feels Venetia was not glad to see him and reflects on his own failure and soul.

Mentioned:Northcliffe • Roderick Meiklejohn
