Nations are just like people.
They see things solely from their own point of view.

Do you know, Mr.
Romayne, there is no subject upon which I feel so keenly as upon the subject of war.

I just loathe and hate and dread the thought of war.
I think perhaps I inherit this.

My mother, you know, belongs to the Friends, and she sees so clearly the wickedness and the folly of war.
And don't you think that all the world is seeing this more clearly to-day than ever before ?" There was nothing new in this argument or in this position to Mr.
Romayne, but somehow, as he looked at the girl's eager, enthusiastic face, and heard her passionate denunciation of war, he found it difficult to defend the justice of war under any circumstances whatever.
"I entirely agree with you, Miss Gwynne, that war is utterly horrible, that it is silly, that it is wicked.

I would rather not discuss it with you, but I can't help feeling that there are circumstances that make it necessary and right for men to fight." "You don't wish to discuss this with me ?" said Kathleen.
