Attila listened to the prayers of the Pope and spared Rome. The Kaiser's lieutenant does not listen to Cardinal Mercier's protests. The Huns, as most strong men, made a point of keeping their word. The Germans seem to make a point of breaking theirs.
It sounds too good to be true!" "But it says so plainly in those very words. I'll show it to you if you like. It's printed!" cried Pixie in a tone of shocked reproof which silenced the protests on Sylvia's lips.
It is like trying to stamp out a fire constantly fed with inflammables and fanned by a strong gale.
