I shall be wantonly misunderstood if these reflections be taken as a criticism of Germany. This situation involves Germany in censure no more than other nations. It is only that Germany shows herself to be somewhat childish and peevishly provincial, in girding at an unchangeable situation, either in South America or in the North Sea. This is not altogether Germany's fault.
I'm not saying what the city administration ought or ought not do. All I know is that you find yourself wittingly or unwittingly in a dangerous situation, and that public sentiment in some quarters is already very strong against you.
I earnestly hope for her sake that we may be able to get to England this year a sight of us will be some comfort. Henrietta is to live at Taunton for the present, as he has a military situation there, and they are preparing for a round of visits among their many friends who are anxious to have them previous to their settling.
But let us put it in this way we need intelligent, sympathetic co-operation, as an opportunity and as a spur for our best work and as a joy in it all your constant kindly interest and your intelligent co-operation.

Had he been five minutes earlier he might have succeeded, but he was just that much too late.
Two days later the positions were reversed, for they had crossed the river in opposite directions. The situation now developed itself favourably for De Wet's methods. For a purely military operation he had never shown much aptitude. He had failed against Barton at Fredrikstad, but he was not discouraged by the repulse, which he unjustly attributed to want of co-operation on the part of Liebenberg.
Your unwonted situation has led you on to drink more than was advisable. For some time you have been feeling uncomfortable effects from your host's light, eager wine. To get up before the rest would be bad manners: to remain is perilous.
The movement for the democratic idea inevitably became a movement for publicly conducted and administered schools. So far as Europe was concerned, the historic situation identified the movement for a state-supported education with the nationalistic movement in political life a fact of incalculable significance for subsequent movements.
Wilks smiled faintly and caught his breath. "Sit down," repeated the captain. "I've left something in the kitchen, sir," said Mr. Wilks. "I'll be back in half a minute." The captain nodded. In the kitchen Mr. Wilks rapidly and incoherently explained the situation to Mr. Hardy. "I'll sit here," said the latter, drawing up a comfortable oak chair to the stove.
