Above all things the speech gave the impression of one who spoke from the inside--who knew the subjects of which he was talking, not merely in their general aspects, but in their dark recesses--in their latent passion--in their awful and appalling depths.

It was while this fine speech was being delivered that the other and the darker side of Mr.Chamberlain's nature was to be seen.

There are no such enmities as those between relatives or former friends; and so it apparently is between Mr.Chamberlain and Mr.
Morley--though it should be said most of the bitterness of the hatred seems to be on the one side.

While Mr.Morley is speaking there is a frown on the face of Mr.Chamberlain that never lifts.

Now and then, the sulky and sullen and frowning silence was broken by an observation evidently of bitter scornfulness addressed to Sir Henry James, and once there seemed even to be an angry interchange between him and Mr.
Courtney because Mr.Courtney had ventured to put a civil question to Mr.Morley.
