The truth is, to my thinking, it's the only thing she has to help her to stomach her husband. 'But it's rank idiocy to suppose she can smuggle cannon! cried Philip. 'But that man Mattock's not an idiot and he thought she could. And it 's proof he was under a spell. She can work one. 'The country hasn't a port.
