CHAPTER XIV
11/20

"Oh, can't I make you understand that I'm not condemning him for a little flattery to me?
I don't care two straws for his showing that _I_ didn't influence him.

"Don't you see the difference?
I'm not condemning anybody; I'm only lamenting.
"What about?

"You don't think those Dutchmen were right to drown babies and--" "No! I think they were ghastly murderers! I think they were detestable and fiendish and monstrous and--" "Well, then, my goodness! What do you want ?" "I don't want war!" "You don't ?" "I want Christianity!" she cried.
