Published in 1914, three years after its author's death from TB. Grim tale about capitalism and the lives of a group of painters and decorators working on the restoration of a house. They are the 'philanthropists' - giving selflessy of the products of their labour for the benefit of the 'Idlers' who exploit them, and cream off the wealth.

I downloaded his 'The Basement' but really hated it - in fact I have read only the first couple of chapters. Sadistic misogynistic main character.
