`` You need n't glare at me , Norman . Glaring wo n't make soldiers out of timothy stalks . A hundred thousand men will just be a mouthful for Germany 's millions . '' `` There 'll be some tough chewing in the mouthful , I reckon , '' persisted Norman valiantly . `` Germany 'll break her teeth on it . Do n't you tell me one Britisher is n't a match for ten foreigners . I could polish off a dozen of 'em myself with both hands tied behind my back ! '' `` I am told , '' said Susan , `` that old Mr. Pryor does not believe in this war . I am told that he says England went into it just because she was jealous of Germany and that she did not really care in the least what happened to Belgium . '' `` I believe he 's been talking some such rot , '' said Norman . `` I have n't heard him . When I do , Whiskers-on-the-moon wo n't know what happened to him . That precious relative of mine , Kitty Alec , holds forth to the same effect , I understand . Not before me , though -- somehow , folks do n't indulge in that kind of conversation in my presence .
