"If there is a way out," concludes Tolstoi, "it is the one which has not been used yet, and which alone incontestably destroys the whole consolidated, artful, and long-established governmental machine for the enslavement of the masses.

It is difficult to define national character, even in long-established States whose history lies open to the world; but it is most difficult in Ireland, which for centuries has not acted by its own will from its own centre, where national activity was mainly by way of protest against external domination, or a readjustment of itself to external power.

"Pooh, I didn't do anything," said King, modestly. "Yes, you did," said his mother. "You were fine, my son. And I never could have lived through to-day without you, either." "Dear old Kingsy-wingsy!" said Midget, looking at him with shining eyes. And then, for it was their long-established custom, she tweaked his Windsor scarf untied.
