In Jones's shop gathers a mixed crowd of intellects: Langham, the brilliant Radical politician, pro-Boer now, anti-German later; Talbot the East End vicar, gently skeptical of the ways of men, passionately curious about the ways of fungi; young Bolt, the old shipwright's son, who wants to be a teacher, a journalist, anything but the soldier's corpse he finally becomes...
