XII: Aid and Comfort to the Enemy 



WE live each summer threatened with inva- 

 sion. On the side where danger lies we 

 are protected for a little by a marshy inlet, a 

 moat flooded at full tide. But just where it 

 passes out from under the high rampart of our 

 wall and makes its way into the hostile country, 

 it widens suddenly and is lost among the open 

 fields.
