THE PRIME MINISTER
61
Sir Robert.
No qualms, no sentimentalism, no mistaken
chivalry.
Sir Malcolm.
There shall be none, sir.
Sir Robert.
These professional and teaching classes must be
strictly watched.
Sir Malcolm.
They shall be, sir.
Sir Robert.
Both men and women—women particularly.
Sir Malcolm.
[Nodding.] Women particularly, sir.
Sir Robert.
During the last war we made the mistake of
interning the men and leaving the more dangerous
sex at liberty. We must not repeat that error.
Sir Malcolm.
We must not, sir.
Sir Robert.
If it should ever come to your knowledge that
enemy aliens of either sex are being harboured in the
houses of public servants you must rout them out.
Sir Malcolm.
I shall.
