"If there be any thing of importance or of public concern omitted, it is done unwittingly," said Arundel. "Then is thy news most jejune and unsatisfactory, seeing that our condition is neither war nor peace, but of sort of armed truce, liable to be broken at any moment by these treacherous savages.
