The Bishop had already arrived, and we were having tea on the veranda.

Ernest's continued presence in Berkeley, by the way, was accounted for by the fact that he was taking special courses in biology at the university, and also that he was hard at work on a new book entitled "Philosophy and Revolution."* * This book continued to be secretly printed throughout the three centuries of the Iron Heel.
