Well, I am punished, twice punished, for my prejudice and blindness. Is it too late for me to make my reparation?" He held out his hand and there was a silence of tense expectation. The Rajah's head was bowed. He did not seem to see the Colonel's movement. "You can not think I am pleading with you to save our lives," Carmichael went on with grave dignity. "We have fought for them.
Her highness moved serenely toward the door. Carmichael waited till she was gone from sight, then he stooped and picked up the fan. Herbeck at once held out his hand. "Give it to me, Herr Captain," he said, with a melancholy gentleness. "I will return it to her highness." Carmichael deliberately thrust the fan into a pocket and shook his head.
He was a progressive man and liked to extend his experiences. After sending the telegram, Miss Carmichael, quite herself by reason of the hill air, felt that she was getting along famously as a traveller, but that it was an expensive business, and she was glad to be "practically" at the end of her journey.
Sergeant Carmichael then advanced, took up the portfire, and succeeded in the attempt, but immediately fell mortally wounded. Sergeant Smith, seeing him fall, advanced at a run, but finding that the fuse was already burning, threw himself into the ditch."

"You took us by surprise, Sarah," and Carmichael, after his hearty fashion, seized his housekeeper's hand; "let me bid you welcome to the manse. I hope you will be happy here, and not feel lonely."

The assaulting party had first to break a way in and then get through. And they did it! The five told off to make the breach were Lieutenants Home and Salkeld, and Sergeants Carmichael, Burgess, and Smith. Some carried bags of gunpowder, and others, the fire to set them off.
