Egidia.

Ah!

Sir Julian Twombley.

If you attach any trifling importance to veracity as a habit, not politics. If you would care at any time upon any subject to form your own opinions, and having formed them, would wish to maintain them, not politics. If you desire to be of the smallest service to your fellow man, and if you would sleep as peacefully at sixty as you now sleep at six months, not politics.

Egidia.

Sir Julian!

Earl of Drumdurris.

The Army!

Egidia.

Never!
