Christina dropped on her knee; the men-at-arms tumbled backwards; Ebbo pressed the hand he held to his lips, and fainted away. The bugle sounded for the third time. Slowly and painfully did Ebbo recover from his swoon, feeling as if the means of revival were rending him away from his brother.
One freezing night some of the boys emptied a gourd of water into the open mouth of the bugle, thus filling the coils of same with water.

But the crowd "marchin' on" with her was a strange one.

Let men and women immersed in the throng of daily toil, young men, busy men, understand that Christ's peace is for those who hear the bugle note of duty summoning them to arise, and go hence.
