Book 8: Chapter 2 Summary
The Temple of Vulcan, an hour later, Aug. 4, 1714
Daniel and Ravenscar get ready for a party and a meeting of the Clubb at Ravenscar's house. Ravenscar has invited Marlborough and he tells Daniel that as a regent, he is calling for a trial of the Pyx. Daniel tells Ravenscar that he has neither confirmed nor condemned Sir Isaac as master of the mint.
Book 8: Chapter 2 Analysis
Ravenscar questions why Daniel, as a representative of the king, does not sack Sir Isaac as master of the mint if he questions Sir Isaac's authenticity and doubts that he can effectively take control of the English currency. Daniel feels obligated, however, to protect Sir Isaac because Sir Isaac is his friend. Their friendship may cloud Daniel's judgment and cause him to make rash decisions.
