This first meeting was, of course, confidential.

But all that it did was presently done over again, with wonderful freshness and spontaneity at a large public meeting open to all citizens.

There was a splendid impromptu air about everything.

After all of which the Clean Government League set itself to fight the cohorts of darkness.

It was not just known where these were.
