i9i4j DECLARATION OF WAR 305
"Always the same, my dear compatriots," I thought,
with a bitter feeling of the reality of things ; and this
feeling restored all my self-control to me. It was
necessary to cope with the most urgent matters and
leave the rest to the will of God.
Absorbing work for every day and all hours had
begun for me and for my colleagues gathered round
me at this moment in the office of the Legation. We
strove to do this work to the best of our strength and
of our ability, and I consider it my duty to express here
the gratitude I owe to all those splendid and faithful
colleagues who up to the end did their whole duty and
more than their duty, and whose friendship and advice
sustained me during three long years of labours, trials,
miseries and joys shared as if we had but one heart and
one thought only!
