were Lord Beaconstield's tone relative
to the strength England could rut

ri statement AS to his easOn for retiring
from the Cabinet. B~eaconsfield spoke

most of his hearers to learn hat was
kept back. for he clearly implied that
he knew something he would not tell.

such an expedition shall be dispatched
and orders to the feet are hourly held
in allegiance till the diplomatic game
has ended satisfactorily.
