"You're right," was the quiet reply. "I guess that's how I've figured it out. You see, I'm one of those Americans who still consider themselves half English. Next to the United States, Great Britain is the country for me. I know what I'm talking about, Lord Dorminster, and I've come to the conclusion that there's a lot of trouble in store for you people."
"You have been gifted with great intelligence," he continued, "and you are the confidante of your connection, Lord Dorminster. Lord Dorminster is one of those few Englishmen who realise the ill direction of the destinies of this country. You would like to help him in his present very strenuous efforts to ascertain the truth as to certain movements directed against the British Empire.
"I am so glad that you have come," she said, raising her eyes for a minute to his. "Father, you remember Lord Dorminster?" The two men exchanged a few commonplace remarks. Then Karetsky reached for his hat. "Your arrival, Lord Dorminster," he observed, "leaves me free to make a few calls myself. We shall, I trust, meet again."
The best preventative of war, in my opinion, is not to believe in it. Good morning, Lord Dorminster." It was a dismissal against which there was no appeal. Nigel followed the secretary from the room.
