More Hkoly it's a sign a book agent was talking there. Germany it appears, is too poor to declare war against France; and France while not too poor, has too good a memory. Nobody ever found a world yet in which there wasn't some trouble for everybody. The weather requires almost as much time to make up its mind as a woman who is picking out a piece of dress goods.
