But if the war was to come, I must settle what was to be done at Gordon's Pride with all possible speed.
When things seemed rapidly ripening, President Wilson made his famous declaration of the rights of weaker nations. One sentence went round among the Koreans, and its effect was electrical.

What she was listening for was a rising of the wind, a crescendo of its voice.
