Read the excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain’s speech "I Believe in a British Empire.”

I cannot look forward without dread to handing over the security and existence of this great Empire to the hands of those who have made common cause with its enemies, who have charged their own countrymen with methods of barbarism, and who apparently have been untouched by that pervading sentiment which I found everywhere where the British flag floats, and which has done so much in recent years to draw us together. I should not require to go to South Africa in order to be convinced that this feeling has obtained deep hold on the minds and hearts of our children beyond the seas. It has had a hard life of it, this feeling of Imperial patriotism. It was checked for a generation by the apathy and the indifference which were the characteristics of our former relations with our Colonies, but it was never extinguished. The embers were still alight, and when in the late war this old country of ours showed that it was still possessed by the spirit of our ancestors, and that it was still prepared to count no sacrifice that was necessary in order to maintain the honor and the interests of the Empire, then you found a response from your children across the seas that astonished the whole world by a proof, an undeniable proof, of affection and regard.

from Olive and the Bees

"I mean to make a study of bees!" said Olive, in an important manner, as she looked up from a big book on natural history which she had been reading for the last ten minutes. "I have plenty of leisure these holidays, and I mean to be like Hüber, and study bees, and find out wonderful things about them. He was blind, you know, and as I am not blind, I ought to find out a lot more than he did!" Olive finished up, complacently.
Charlie, however, far from being impressed with this speech, only burst out laughing. "You are conceited!" he exclaimed; "to think that you, at twelve years of age, are going to beat Hüber, who spent a life-time in studying bees! However, there is no doubt you will learn something from them, and by the time you have been well stung you will be able to describe some of their habits," and he laughed again.
"I shall not be stung," said Olive calmly.
"And one of their ways is to sting inquisitive folk," said Charlie. "Let me advise you to have Mary's blue-bag handy—the thing she uses on washing-days, you know. Nothing like it for the sting of an angry bee!" and picking up his fishing-rod, Charlie walked away to the river.
It was the first summer that Olive had spent in the country, and all its sights and scenes were new to her. So now, rejoicing in the freedom of being able to roam about without her hat or jacket, she ran lightly out of the low French window of the sitting-room, and down the path towards a large clump of lemon-colored foxgloves.
"The bees were in and out of these foxgloves yesterday," she said, as she stooped over the bed. "Ah, yes! here is one—buried quite deep in the flower. I must have that bee," and taking out her handkerchief, she threw it over the flower, and caught the bee in its folds, carrying it in triumph towards the hives, which stood on a shelf under a sunny wall by the high garden gate.
"Now then, dear bee," said Olive, loosing the bee with all the calmness of ignorance, "here is your hive; let me see you go in with your load of honey."
Bees, however, are not creatures to be trifled with, and this one did not mean to go to its hive with its honey-bags only half full. Instead, it turned fiercely on Olive and stung her sharply on the hand.
"Oh! oh! It hurts!" she screamed, and hurrying away, she accidentally upset the straw cover of a hive. Instantly, scores of angry bees came buzzing round her, and Olive ran as she had never run before. But she did not escape without several severe stings, and she was all but fainting with pain and terror when she at last reached the kitchen door and slammed it behind her.
Fortunately, Mary was there, and at once applied the blue-bag, which eased the pain of the stings greatly.
"I only wanted to study the bees," sobbed Olive, "and I never meant to offend them, and make them sting me."
"You had better study obedience, Miss, and leave the bees alone," said Mary curtly. "I told you only yesterday to keep away from the hives. If you want to study bees, get the old bee-master to tell you how to set about it."
Some weeks later, Olive had an opportunity of watching the bee-master when he removed the honey from the hives. He did not get stung, though the bees were all round him, and Olive could not help admiring the fearless way he went to work.
Charlie was right. Olive did learn something from the bees, and one of her lessons was humility. She did not again think she knew all about a subject after reading of the wonderful discoveries of men who had given a lifetime to it.

Which two details should be included in a summary of the passage?
