In one sense it may be said he was all at sea, for he was without positive instructions, at a critical period, when it was most important that his line of policy should be clearly defined by his government. But the matter of communicating with headquarters, thousands of miles away, was infinitely more difficult and serious than it is today.
Naturally the most honorable army in the world cannot neglect to reply in sort to a weapon like that. When the Boches have taken some of their own medicine the weapon will be less freely used. Besides, today our men are all protected against gas.
It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians if you will, to say that the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them. Five minutes of today are worth as much to me as five minutes in the next millennium.
Today, we believe that an unusual opportunity exists to determine whether or not this long-sought strategic goal of affecting the will, understanding, and perception of an adversary can be brought closer to fruition.
Modern interests, business, social, intellectual, religious, artistic and philanthropic, which today loom so large, are a recent innovation, occupying in comparison with the period when they were not but a moment of time.
"Tush, that was my own private promise, Monsieur; my own private prediction of what would happen; a thing PRO FORMA", and to save Madame Denis's life. Patience; perhaps it will arrive this very day. Come again to me at three P.M.; there is Berlin post today; then again in three days: I surely expect the Order will come by this post or next; God grant it may be by this!"

This night ten prisoners from opposite room ordered into ours, in all twenty. June 1. Continued the same today. The people ordered back to their own room. Captain Van Zandt sent to the dungeon for resenting Captain Cunningham's insulting and abusing me. Capt. Adams brought into our room. At 9 P.M. candles ordered out. Captain Van Zandt returned from the dungeon.
Most of the frightful cruelties inflicted on mankind during the past have arisen out of a difference of opinion arising through a difference in temperament. The question is as live today as it was two thousand years ago what expression is best? That is, what shall we do to be saved? And concrete absurdity consists in saying we must all do the same thing.
The carpet, and almost everything in the room, was green, except the small white enamelled piano. Today she felt that she wanted to use all her influence to get Aylmer to confide in her more. Perhaps he was slipping away from her she would have been only a little incident in his existence while she certainly wished it to go on. Seeing this, perhaps it oughtn't to go on.
