I have been told that he was no great
speaker. But my impression is that he got so little attention from his
brothers when he spoke, that he got into the way of keeping his
thoughts to himself. But everybody knew that he did not agree with
either of his brothers. His belief was that the present Age, with all
its faults, was the Golden Age for the people living in it. And there
is no doubt that that was the view of his sister Faith. For when at
any time he happened to let out even the tiniest word with that view in
it, she would come closer to him, lean up against his side, and give
him a hidden pressure of the hand.

SEARCH FOR THE GOLDEN AGE.
When these views of the young Princes came to be known, the people took
sides, some with one Prince, some with another. The greatest number
sided with Yestergold, a number not so great with Goldmorrow, and a
few, and these for the most part of humble rank, with Goldenday. In a
short time nothing else was talked about, from one end of the kingdom
to the other, but the time of the Golden Age.
