"I wouldn't trust Fenn a yard, but I believe in Freistner." "So do I," Furley assented, "but is Fenn's report of his promises and the strength of his followers entirely honest?" "That's the part of the whole thing I don't like," Julian acknowledged.
Stenson has been saying which I think we might and ought to consider a little more fully, and that is, what guarantees have we that Freistner really has the people at the back of him, that he'll be able to cleanse that rat pit at Berlin of the Hohenzollern and his clan of junkers the most accursed type of politician who ever breathed?
