Nora, you are a tease! It’s nothing of the sort, Mr. Varlie. Gordon’s idea is to have an international parliament, a super-parliament, and for that to have complete control of an international army, and also—what is very important—complete control of all armament making.
Gordon.
Then any nation would have all the rest of the world against it directly it tried to do anything aggressive.
Loveday.
Yes. That’s where it will get Germany so splendidly. Germany pretends she goes in for her militarism only for self-preservation. Now this international scheme will secure her self-preservation, but will entirely destroy her militarism and make her aggression impossible!
Varlie.
Donnerwetter! (Confused, trying to cover his mistake.) Sake’s alive—
Nora.
(Pertly.) Are you a German?
