Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Blood-Tax "All the available forces of Great Britain, the European, the Indian, the Egyptian brigades, the auxiliary Colonial troops have, amid the war-like bellowing: of public opinion, been drawn together on the scene of the conflict; and no Englishman notices, or wants to notice, that, in order to reach this end, the Lion has had to strain its last muscle, - to pump out its last drop of blood. Henceforward no one will tremble when the impotent monster lifts its clawless paws, or bares its shaky teeth!" With an impatient movement James Millar tossed aside the German paper with which he had been at 5 tempting to beguile the tedium of a long railway journey, and turned to stare moodily out of the window. Flat fields and straight roads, interspersed with villages that looked as neat as though they had been recently unpacked out of a magnified toy box, were scudding past at the rate of seventy miles an hour. The coating of snow, thin almost as a coating of fresh paint, spread evenly over the landscape, enhanced the impression of monotony and tidiness.
