"Your gift of acquiring languages in a short space of time is most extraordinary, my young friend! Since yesterday you have become able to speak German, eh? Prodigious!" Norgate smiled without embarrassment. The moment was a critical one, portentous to an extent which no one at that table could possibly have realised.
"Let me think over what you have told me. It comes to this, Norgate. You've practically encouraged Germany to risk affronting us." "I can't help that," Norgate admitted. "Germany has gone into this war, firmly believing that Italy will be on her side, and that we shall have our hands occupied in civil war, and in any case that we should remain neutral. I am not asking you questions, Hebblethwaite.
If trouble should come, even though I may have helped to bring it about, even though I may believe that it is a good thing for the country to have to meet trouble, I should still fight on her side." "But there will be no war," Selingman reminded him. "You yourself have ascertained that the present Cabinet will decline war at any cost." "The present Government, without a doubt," Norgate assented.
The cooking there is tolerable, and they have some Rhine wine but you shall taste it." "Thank you," Norgate assented, "I shall be very pleased." They played three or four rubbers. Then Mrs. Benedek glanced at the clock. "I must go," she announced. "I am dining at eight o'clock." "Stay but for one moment," Selingman begged. "We will all take a little mixed vermouth together.

The two men shook hands. "I played golf with you once at Woking," Norgate reminded his new acquaintance. "I not only remember it," Prince Edward answered, "but I remember the result. You beat me three up, and we were to have had a return, but you had to leave for Paris on the next day." "You will be able to have your return match now," Mrs. Benedek observed. "Mr.
Those things we leave to our military department, and pray that the question of their use may never arise. We are concerned wholly with economic and social questions, and our great aim is not war but peace." "Very well, then," Norgate decided, "I accept. When shall I start?" Selingman laid his hand upon the other's shoulder as he rose to his feet.
"It may be that you do not know this at present. It may be that I anticipate, but if so, no matter. Between you and your fiancée there will naturally be no secrets. You are perhaps already aware that she holds a high position amongst those who are working for the power and development and expansion of our great empire?"

"Too many people here, though."
