...Their roll calls have all been answered. Their speeches have all been uttered. Their offices have been vacated by the decree of fate. Soon others will occupy their places. ... It is one of the inexplicable mysteries of life in which one surrenders his peace of mind, his tranquillity of soul and life under his own vine and fig tree for a disappointing, disillusioning ignis fatuus in the morass of public life...

Middleton Murry, one of Lawrence's biographers. Others are Robert, a timid soul; his wife Hilda, who married him because Marius suggested it but who nurses a platonic passion for the Master; Mark, a bully; Johnny, a poet who is not a gentleman and is very self-conscious about it. Marius' bovine wife, Helga, feeds them all, pays little attention to their...
