The Captain and Jamie watched him flying before the wind, a red spectre in the lurid light.
"Happy son of Peleus," answered the ghost of Agamemnon, "for having died at Troy far from Argos, while the bravest of the Trojans and the Achaeans fell round you fighting for your body. There you lay in the whirling clouds of dust, all huge and hugely, heedless now of your chivalry.

Who could foretell the cruel doom heedless of such favours and such splendid promises that awaited the pretty child? Who could hear the brave young soldier's last shrieks of solitary agony?
