This is from the beginning from Chapter 9, "The Man in Spectacles," in which the Professor teaches Gabriel Syme how to communicate secretly using codes that are tapped out with the fingers. William Dennis Hunt passed away June 14, 2020, but his voice lives on in the memories of those who loved him and were impacted by his decades of stage presence in the Los Angeles theatre scene.

My heart is heavy; today we mourn the loss of William Dennis Hunt, as fine an actor as has ever walked the earth, and equally as warm and generous. Here he is portraying Comrade Friday, aka Professor de Worms. With Stephen Alan Carver, Gregory Gifford Giles, Mark Bramhall, Rob Fox, Jacob Sidney Dietzman

"Oh, this is all raving nonsense!" he cried. "If you really think that ordinary people in ordinary houses are anarchists, you must be madder than an anarchist yourself." Enjoy this excerpt from Chapter 12, "The Earth in Anarchy." Chesterton tells the tale of a town seemingly rising up against what is good and right in the name of anarchy. You'll have to read the book to see how it turns out.

"You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have often been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always the true anarchists."
