If, on the other hand, our aim be negative, and we simply seek to prevent the enemy wresting some advantage to our detriment, then the war in its general direction will be defensive. It is only as a broad conception that this classification has value. Though it fixes the general trend of our operations, it will not in itself affect their character.
"At the present time," said Narcisse by way of conclusion, "the gap has been filled up; I told you of the large sums yielded by the Peter's Pence Fund, the amount of which is only known by the Pope, who alone fixes its employment. And, by the way, he isn't cured of speculating: I know from a good source that he still gambles, though with more prudence.
No sooner, however, had Scott received his letters than his feelings of relief were succeeded by sheer astonishment. 'Every incident of the day pales before the startling contents of the mail bag which Atkinson gave me a letter from Campbell setting out his doings and the finding of Amundsen established in the Bay of Whales.
