His fellow-plenipotentiaries were dummies; and even the trusted Colonel House, with vastly more knowledge of men and of Europe than the President, from whose sensitiveness the President's dullness had gained so much, fell into the background as time went on.

"What they will do is sweep down here and overwhelm you." "You think so?" "Yes." He shifted himself to a more comfortable position. "They are playing for time so that when I fail to produce the model as I agreed, then the public will realize I am not to be trusted." "Exactly," I said. "Well, I am playing for time, also."
