L.P.M.: The End of the Great War (Dodo Press)

Novel published in 1915. "The Secretary of State, although he sought to maintain an air of official reserve, showed that he was deeply impressed by what he had just heard. "Well, young man, you are certainly offering to undertake a pretty large contract." He smiled, and continued in a slightly rhetorical vein-the Secretary was above all things first, last, and always an orator."
