Title The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

Chapter --
Text Socialism at all! And when I explained it to him properly and advised him to be one, he said he'd think about it. So I said if he'd only do that he'd be sure to change over to our side; and then he laughed and promised to let me know next time he sees me, and I promised to lend him some literature. You won't mind, will you, Dad?'

`Of course not; when we get home we'll have a look through what we've got and you can take him some of them.'

`I know!' cried Frankie eagerly. `The two very best of all. Happy Britain and England for the English.'

He knew that these were `two of the best' because he had often heard his father and mother say so, and he had noticed that whenever a Socialist friend came to visit them, he was also of the same opinion.
