Love, and love alone, as from the first it is the source of all life, love alone, wise at once and foolish as a child, can work redemption. It is life drawing nigh to life, person to person, the human to human, that conquers death. This therefore urges people to combine, seeking the strength of men, not the strength of God. The result is as he would have it inevitable quarreling.

"I heard what was said; you have agreed to turn over this boat in person to General Yozarro." The American nodded. "You will permit me to say, Major, that you have done a foolish thing. When you left the gunboat as you did, I was free to pick up the General and that should have been the end of the affair."

Distracted with vexation and carried away by her foolish impulses, she made the breach between us complete. For three days she remained haughty and arrogant, accepting her disgrace, but too proud to make any advances for a reconciliation.
