VACANT AND FAKE IDEALISM - . it won't be much of a war, and I guess Gearson don't think so, either. The other fellows will back down as soon as they see we mean it. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. I'm going back to bed, myself."
CARELESS AMUSEMENT - ". . . you've done a wicked thing, Editha Balcom."
SARCASM - " . . . What a thing it is to have a country that can't be wrong, but if it is, is right anyway!"
CRITICISM - "That ignoble peace! It was no peace at all, with that crime and shame at our very gates."
