The rubicon (E.F. Benson)

”We must judge people aby their best qualities, not their worst; aby their capabilities, and not aby their limitations” – the protagonist of the novel had such an opinion. He sat at the hotel and wrote his next work. The next day, after rereading what he had written, he was surprised because he had already seen something like this somewhere with another professor. A large number of people show false love before the government and it excites the main character.
