The French nation saw the English citizen and citizeness--no caricature, but the living reality--and their indignation exploded in laughter.

It might be as well to keep near Downing Street a few small, fat Frenchmen, to be sent round the country when occasion called for it, shrugging their shoulders and eating frog sandwiches; or a file of untidy, lank-haired Germans might be retained, to walk about, smoking long pipes, saying "So." The public would laugh and exclaim, "War with such?
It would be too absurd." Failing the Government, I recommend the scheme to the Peace Society.

Its stones are saturated with history and romance; its every suburb must have been a battlefield.
It is the town that conceived the Reformation and hatched the Thirty Years' War.
