"They were probably acquaintances, and they stayed to have a chat." Mr. Raymond Greene shook his head doubtfully. "All I can say to that is that it was a queer place to choose for a little friendly conversation," he pronounced.
Bellew, I have come out here to watch another very foolish person, a ridiculous, old Sergeant of Hussars, who will come marching along, very soon, to mount guard in full regimentals, Mr. Bellew, with his busby on his head, with his braided tunic and dolman, and his great big boots, and with his spurs jingling, and his sabre bright under the moon."
