Mine are not of war, but of peace, and I think I see a way by which we shall be able to develop our country in a wonderful way.

I shall talk the idea over with Rupert to-night, when we are alone.

In the meantime Sir Colin and Admiral Rooke will think their plans over individually, and to-morrow morning together.

Then the next day they, too, are to go over their idea with Rupert and my father, and something may be decided then.
RUPERT'S JOURNAL--_Continued_.
_August_ 21, 1907.
Our meeting on the subject of National Defence, held this afternoon, went off well.

We were five in all, for with permission of the Voivode and the two fighting-men, naval and military, I brought Teuta with me.
