...nursery, the Queen could at least thank God that she was screened from the public gaze. In an Anglo-Saxon atmosphere, she brought up her Anglo-German-Spanish children. Did she tell them bull stories? Most probably.

We then more rashly assume...

In Pittsburgh, before the Carnegie Institute, Attorney General Sargent began : "The desire for peace must grow from within." Charles E. Hughes, about to return to Bermuda, was clamorously hailed by the New York Chamber of Commerce, "the greatest statesman in the world." Speaking of the U. S. abroad he said: "It would be unfortunate, indeed, if American capital stood aloof...
