[When William Came by Saki]@TWC D-Link bookWhen William Came CHAPTER XIII: TORYWOOD 10/13
"Time is on their side, not ours.
It is the young people we must fight for now, if they are ever to fight for us.
A new generation will spring up, a weaker memory of old glories will survive, the eclat of the ruling race will capture young imaginations.
If I had your youth, Murrey, and your sex, I would become a commercial traveller." "A commercial traveller!" exclaimed Yeovil. "Yes, one whose business took him up and down the country, into contact with all classes, into homes and shops and inns and railway carriages. And as I travelled I would work, work on the minds of every boy and girl I came across, every young father and young mother too, every young couple that were going to be man and wife.
I would awaken or keep alive in their memory the things that we have been, the grand, brave things that some of our race have done, and I would stir up a longing, a determination for the future that we must win back.
