The duchess lifted Cinderella's chin so their eyes were level. "In my time, we stood by the three P's. I thought it was a bunch of hogwash, but I'll impart it to you anyway.

"That's a beautiful thought, Cindergirl.”

That, I think, is the most pacific realization conceivable, and Little War brings you to it as nothing else but Great War can do.”
