The Lady of the Shroud

BOOK VIII: THE FLASHING OF THE HANDJAR
9/51

Their march has been steady; and as they came, they fortified every step of the way.

Now they are hard upon us, and are already beginning to swallow up the regions that we have helped to win from the dominion of Mahound.

The Austrian is at our very gates.

Beaten back by the Irredentists of Italy, she has so enmeshed herself with the Great Powers of Europe that she seems for the moment to be impregnable to a foe of our stature.

There is but one hope for us--the uniting of the Balkan forces to turn a masterly front to North and West as well as to South and East.
