If Stein and Bismarck had been merely Prussians, if Cavour's policy had been narrowly Sardinian, would their States ever have served as the rallying centres for the Germany and Italy of to-day?
Her voice, despite herself, quavered a little at first. "Help! Help!" "Help help help!" chirupped Mrs. Pope, much as an extremely nervous person seeks to attract the attention of a waiter. "Louder ... much louder. He-lp!" "Help help he-lp! Oh, Elizabeth, and in a churchyard, too!" "Louder still.... He-el-lp!" "Help!... It's like waking the dead...." "He-el-lp!" "Hi, there!
