Blood on the Lintel.[177 H.T.]

"I do not suppose that your troops are to be
beaten in actual conflict with the foe, or that
they will be driven into the sea; but I am certain
that many homes in England in which there now
exists a fond hope that the distant one may
return, many such homes may be rendered desolate
when the next mail shall arrive. There is no one
to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side
posts of our doors, that the Angel of Death may
spare and pass on."

--John Bright.
