"Life is not a blind impulse, working blindly. It is a beneficent, rectifying power."
THE END
FOOTNOTES:
[1] This was said before the Great War. It is now supposed that when peace is made there will be a change in English opinion. With my knowledge of my country—the British Empire—I permit myself to doubt it. There is a proverb which begins, "When the devil was sick." I shall, however, be glad if I am proved wrong.—Alexandra Adare.
