If I don't hear it, and you are ready for the attack, fire a salvo of ten guns at twelve, another at one, and another at two.

When we read, say, of some new poison-gas by means of which one bomb from an aeroplane can exterminate a whole town, we have a thrill of what we fondly believe to be horror, but it is really delight in scientific skill.
