In the speaker's opinion there was still room for the exercise gentle and conciliatory statesmanship without great drama now almost played out. The sad was near at hand. The few desperate Bogra still in the field were fast Inning heart, abiny owing to the content arrival of fresh British reinforcements, which was slowly beating inte their dal bruins the fact that the fighting power of the great Empire against which they were arrayed was practically inexhaustible, and that they had been labearing under a declusion from the start in hoping for final victory against such odds.
