Excerpt from The Conscript Mother
And to the ignorant optimism of my protest she smiled sadly, with the fatalism that women acquire in countries of conscription. It was tu tile to combat with mere theory and logic this conviction of a mother's heart. Probably the signora had over heard some significant word which to her sensitive intelligence was more real, more positive than all the sub tle reasonings at the Consulta. The Sphinx-like silence of ministers and diplomats had not been broken: there was nothing new in the situation. The newspapers were as wordily empty of fact as ever. And yet this morning for the first time Signora Maironi seemed convinced against her will that war was inevitable.
