  How many swords had Lady Beveridge in her pierced heart! Yet there
  
  
  always seemed room for another. Since she had determined that her heart
  
  
  of pity and kindness should never die. If it had not been for this
  
  
  determination she herself might have died of sheer agony, in the years
  
  
  1916 and 1917, when her boys were killed, and her brother, and death
  
  
  seemed to be mowing with wide swaths through her family. But let us
  
  
  forget.
  
  
  Lady Beveridge loved humanity, and come what might, she would
  
  
  continue to love it. Nay, in the human sense, she would love her
  
  
  enemies. Not the criminals among the enemy, the men who committed
  
  
  atrocities. But the men who were enemies through no choice of their
  
  
  own. She would be swept into no general hate.
