Well, I must not complain.
It is all only right and just.

As yet I have done nothing to prove to them the love and devotion that I feel to the country.

I know that such individuals as I have met trust me, and I believe like me.

But the trust of a nation is different.

That has to be won and tested; he who would win it must justify, and in a way that only troublous times can allow.
No nation will--can--give full meed of honour to a stranger in times of peace.
