...feeling pretty much put upon by these events, got all broody and drunk. Luckily for Tom's peace of mind and Author Bromfield's cinemarty ending, the girl who had given his house its sentimental associations appeared at this point-buxom and widowed now, but bristling with Gallic sense. She gave Tom a good talking to, sent him back to the U.S. to marry his long-suffering mistress...
France's determinations to keep the League of Nations alive at the cost of considerable insecurity to herself shows Gallic tenacity in its highest degree. Her forthcoming treaty with Russia would no doubt be a far more effective weapon in keeping Germany on the floor if Comrade Litvinov were allowed to have his way.

...modern historiography. Unlike Messrs. Belloc and Chesterton, Mr. Dawson is imbued with the modern ideal of impartiality, and even in his attempt to secure justice for the faith he never leans over backwards into unfairness to the unjust. He is most like Mr. Wyndham Lewis--minus that historian's Gallic irony--in that he is immensely learned, how learned anybody has some opportunity of gauging by reading his "Age of the Gods" or "The Making of Europe." He lectures on culture-history at the University of Exeter, England...
