--: Women and Ireland.


S: Mother's priest has turned her Republican.


M: That's just Sylvia pulling the strings 1 of the shower bath.


--: What war, Glorvina?


--: It isn't going to be our war.


--: If it had been us and a tinpot country like Serbia, we'd have declared war three weeks ago.


--: Exactly. What are the Austrians waiting for?


C: For an assurance that Russia won't come in on the Serbian side and Russia's waiting for an assurance that Germany won't come in on the Austrian side.
