"I cannot end the distress, dear Hugh," said Fleda. She saw him change colour, and he stood motionless still. "Do you remember," said Fleda, trembling even to her voice, "what Rutherford says about Providence 'not running on broken wheels? " He gave her no answer but the intent look of expectation. Its intentness paralysed Fleda. She did not know how to go on.
"Sir," said her uncle, "for these two years my heart has been broken daily. Before very long you will be as I am; if you do not weep, you will not feel your anguish the less." "You have taken care of her!" said the colonel, and jealousy no less than gratitude could be read in his eyes. The two men understood one another.
The harp of David was broken, and Saul was wholly delivered over to the spirit of madness. The fall of Charles X. had increased the audacity of the old Napoleonic veteran, who uttered all imaginable bravadoes. He no longer frequented our house, which had become too silent for him.
The man who had been first thrown through the window, and who had broken the way through the glass for the others, was elected their chief, because he had suffered the most; and excepting the trouble of doing their own work for a week, until the slaves awoke, these people were very happy ever afterwards.

There was no moving of solid masses of men, no solid grouping of troops; no two men marched shoulder to shoulder, a gap showed plainly between each of the khaki-clad figures as we moved on to the rugged, broken line of kopjes.
With the exception of a few places, where the upland penetrated these savannas to the waters of the sea, the marshes were soft alluvium, covered with tall coarse grasses, the sameness of which. was occasionally broken by a hammock, or low mound of firmer soil, which rose like an island out of the level sea of green.
