ENGLAND S UPPER
TEN.
Yes, over the vulgar multitude which
sticks fast to the soil, soar, like beings
of a higher nature, England's nobility,
who regard their little island as only a
temporary resting-place, Italy as their
summer garden, Paris as their social
saloon, and the world as their inheritance.
They sweep along, knowing
nothing of sorrow or suffering, and their
gold is a talisman which conjures into
fulfilment their wildest wish.
GERMAN
WOMEN.
German women are dangerous on account
of their diaries, which their husbands
may find.
ENFANT
PERDU.
In Freedom's War, of " Thirty Years "
and more,
A lonely outpost have I held — in
vain !
With no triumphant hope or prize in
store,
Without a thought to see my home
again.
