If it were possible for the two peoples to come to know each other as they really are if one half of the population of each country could for a season change places with one half of the other, so that all the individuals of both nations would be acquainted with the ways and thoughts of the other, not as the comic artists draw them, nor as they are when they are abroad, but as they live their daily lives at home then indeed would all thought of difference between the two disappear, and war between them be as impossible as war between Surrey and Kent.

Mr. Allonby looked at the eager children's faces thoughtfully. 'I shouldn't be going abroad till the spring. If I could find someone to teach you we might be together for the winter.

Poole's book will be passed for press, and then we shall go abroad and shall visit all the great men in Europe. Some are in Amsterdam, some are in Paris, some live in Switzerland.
