"There's parts of it I don't think are sustainable," Elliot said, and never mind that he was wealthy, he was also Welsh, there was a little bit of a cynical edge to the way he looked at this whole English system. Eventually, the British spirit around conquering the world would stop resulting in buckets of money - and then what? Or there would be something else - labor unrest, push for women's rights, whatever. Something was going to topple. Maybe not soon, but eventually.

"So it'll change. Sooner or later."
