Well, they may be--but so ought Slingsby to have been, yet it didn't help him.

No, my lady, we've got to put our own house in order and that first, before thinking of the powers or places like Greenland.

What's the good of the saner policy that Mr.Churchill talks about, if you can't trust anyone with your money, and have to live on the capital?
If you can't sleep at night for thinking that you may be in the workhouse to-morrow--like Slingsby?
The first duty of men in Mr.Churchill's position--as I see it--is to see that we're able to be confident of honest dealing.

That's what we want, not Greenlands.

That's how we all feel, and you know it, too, or else you, a great lady, wouldn't stop to talk to a man like me.
