CHAPTER XXII
29/94

It is ending more every day.

But there is only one Lloyd George, and, whatever else he lack, he doesn't lack life.
I heard all the speeches in both Houses on the resolution of appreciation of our coming into the war--Bonar Law's, Asquith's (one of the best), Dillon's, a Labour man's, and, in the Lords, Curzon's, Crewe's, the Archbishop's (who delivered in the course of his remarks a benediction on me) and Bryce's (almost the best of all).

It wasn't "oratory," but it was well said and well meant.
They know how badly they need help and they do mean to be as good to us as their benignant insularity will permit.

They are changing.
I can't describe the great difference that the war has made in them.

They'll almost become docile in a little more time.
And we came in in the nick of time for them--in very truth.
