` The kingdom of Heaven ' -- and of love -- and of happiness -- does n't depend on externals . '' `` Besides , '' said the doctor gravely , `` our said grandson will have to give most of his attention to the aeroplane -- he wo n't be able to let the reins lie on its back while he gazes into his lady 's eyes . And I have an awful suspicion that you ca n't run an aeroplane with one arm . No '' -- the doctor shook his head -- `` I believe I 'd still prefer Silverspot after all . '' The Russian line broke again that summer and Susan said bitterly that she had expected it ever since Kerensky had gone and got married . `` Far be it from me to decry the holy state of matrimony , Mrs. Dr. dear , but I felt that when a man was running a revolution he had his hands full and should have postponed marriage until a more fitting season . The Russians are done for this time and there would be no sense in shutting our eyes to the fact . But have you seen Woodrow Wilson 's reply to the Pope 's peace proposals ? It is magnificent . I really could not have expressed the rights of the matter better myself . I feel that I can forgive Wilson everything for it . He knows the meaning of words and that you may tie to . Speaking of meanings , have you heard the latest story about Whiskers-on-the-moon , Mrs. Dr. dear ? It seems he was over at the Lowbridge Road school the other day and took a notion to examine the fourth class in spelling . They have the summer term there yet , you know , with the spring and fall vacations , being rather backward people on that road . My niece , Ella Baker , goes to that school and she it was who told me the story . The teacher was not feeling well , having a dreadful headache , and she went out to get a little fresh air while Mr. Pryor was examining the class . The children got along all right with the spelling but when Whiskers began to question them about the meanings of the words they were all at sea , because they had not learned them . Ella and the other big scholars felt terrible over it . They love their teacher so , and it seems Mr. Pryor 's brother , Abel Pryor , who is trustee of that school , is against her and has been trying to turn the other trustees over to his way of thinking .
And Ella and the rest were afraid that if the XXXXX class could n't tell Whiskers the meanings of the words he would think the teacher was no good and tell Abel so , and Abel would have a fine handle .
