    A member of a club.

    "There is scarce a reviewer, scarce a clubmember, never a Tory in these United States who cannot (if he would) improve upon the work of Mr. Upton Sinclair—and this despite the fact that our clubmembers and Tories spend all of their time in thinking of themselves, while Mr. Sinclair devotes his enormous energies to puzzling out the problems they dismiss so glibly—despite the fact that Mr. Sinclair is highly regarded in Europe, where they are unknown."
