I withheld the words that came rushing to my lips.

Goodwill, even between allies, is sometimes a frail matter.

Earlier, we'd been warm friends, but now that the French approaches were moving towards Riga, I was asking why the Russian guns couldn't stop the enemy, and they were asking why my ship's guns couldn't do the same.
