Excerpt from Paul's Wife, or "the Ostriches": A Romance of the Awakening of Britain
When the pre-war part of this book was written in the period just before the war, the Ostriches had driven thinking people to despair. That War was coming swiftly, any student of history could foresee; but our rulers were either burying their heads in the sand, like the traditional ostrich, so as not to see danger, or were sacrificing our Army and Offering to sacrifice our Navy in the vain hope Of propitiating Moloch.
