Description
Harold, Mrs. Transome, and Old Mr. Transome sit around the breakfast table discussing Harold’s political stance in the upcoming election. Mrs. Transome expresses her dismay at Harold's radical ideas, saying, 'You really have no idea what an impression it conveys when you say you are a radical.' This scene highlights the profound social stigma associated with radicalism among the gentry (Chapter 2).
