The Nation was gripped in 1968 by the TV drama of this trilogy, but reading it revealed the social commentary Galsworthy had written, albeit from a very privileged viewpoint, about an era of considerable change from 1886 to 1920, from Horse Power to horsepower, including The Great War. I was amused by the use of the family surname to describe the whole mercantile class and then the pun was appreciated.
