Explore "Another Sheaf" by John Galsworthy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On the mutual understanding of each other by Britons and Americans the future happiness of nations depends more than on any other world cause.
I have never held a whole-hearted brief for the British character. There is a lot of good in it, but much which is repellent. It has a kind of deliberate unattractiveness, setting out on its journey with the words: "Take me or leave me. " One may respect a person of this sort, but it is difficult either to know or to like him. I am told that an American officer said recently to a British staff officer in a friendly voice: "So we're going to clean up Brother Boche together! " and the British staff officer replied "Really! " No wonder Americans sometimes say: "I've got no use for those fellows."
