This is quite enough to have said about the election and deposition of that would-be patriarch. The election, which was null and void in the minds of all right-thinking men, took place on the day of the festival of Saint-Peter-in-chains, but since he had no help from a pious life, it dissolved.
It is most disagreeable to right-thinking people. Let him remember that he is also a man; and let his manner be manly as well as civil. You cannot help thinking that the sneak would be a tyrant, if he had the opportunity.
This forfeit of honor, which compels the contempt of every right-thinking mind, is too well within the political tradition of Prussian Kings to have surprised me. But the fury with which you treated that generous land whose one crime was to defend, unto despair, its independence and the idea of justice that was too much! The world revolts in wrath at this.
As a matter of course no well-set-up, right-thinking young fellow of three-and-twenty could go on baking lebkuchen in the same bakery with Minna Brekel for any length of time without falling in love with her.
Without entering upon the abstract question concerning the right of one race of people to wrest from another their possessions, simply because they happen to be more powerful than the original inhabitants, or because they imagine that they can, by their superior skill or acquirements, enable the soil to support a denser population, I think it will be conceded by every candid and right-thinking mind, that no one can justly take that which is not his own, without giving some equivalent in return, or deprive a people of their ordinary means of support, and not provide them with any other instead.
To give effect to their operations, they secured an immediate and ample interval for exasperating popular feeling against Ministers and their abominable proposition! But it was all in vain. There was a bluff English frankness about the Minister that mightily pleased the country, exciting a sympathy in every right-thinking Englishman.
The post-office never brought him any letters from the Pope; he thought Blanche, to be sure, at first, the most pious, gifted, right-thinking, fascinating person he had ever met; and her manner of singing the chants delighted him but after a while he began to grow rather tired of Miss Amory, her ways and graces grew stale somehow; then he was doubtful about Miss Amory; then she made a disturbance in his school, lost her temper, and rapped the children's fingers.
But surely surely you did well not to fly, leaving the hideous accusation behind you." "So I thought, my own love my own high-minded right-thinking darling so I thought; and here I stay to answer my accusers. But the fatality of the circumstances is such that in truth, I see little hope of clearing myself, save by the possible discovery of the causes that led to this terrible death."
Never, while this woman lived in the town, would she be able to throw the veil of forgetfulness over this blot upon her father's memory. As the day wore on, Mrs. Carteret grew still less at ease. To herself, marriage was a serious thing, to a right-thinking woman the most serious concern of life.
No right-thinking person has nowadays any doubt as to the profound injustice of the Treaty of Versailles and of all the treaties which derive from it. But this fact is of small importance, inasmuch as it is not justice or injustice which regulates the relations between nations, but their interests and sentiments.
