I left here in the centre of a Boer commando, with a bandage over my eyes, on Sunday morning, and returned to the spot surrounded by British "Tommies" a few days later. All the glory of this bloodless victory does not rest with the general who commands the column. To Captain Tennant no small meed of praise is due.
But how vain is any mere catalogue to convey the charm of Laura Tennant the first Mrs. Alfred Lyttelton to those who never saw her! I asked to be introduced to her as soon as we left the dining-room, and we spent the evening in a corner together. I fell in love with her there and then.
"You are talking perfectly fluently now." "Yes, to you. But put me in front of Celia Tennant, and I simply make a sort of gurgling noise like a sheep with the botts. It kills my chances stone dead. You know these other men. I can give Claude Mainwaring a third and beat him. I can give Eustace Brinkley a stroke a hole and simply trample on his corpse.
"Are you awfully tired, Ruth Craven?" she said. "I shall get used to it," replied Ruth. "I have had a cold for the last few days. Thank you so much, Miss Tennant!" "Don't thank me," said Alice, frowning; "and don't say 'Miss Tennant, It isn't good form in our school. I hope you will be better to-morrow. I am sure, at least, that you will like the school very much."

Tennant evidently thought that it had begun to do so even in his day.

The horse left behind last night has been brought in; he looks very bad indeed. About 11 a.m. the other horses were found, brought in, and saddled, and we proceeded on a north-north-west course for Bishop Creek, but found the sick horse too ill to proceed further than Tennant Creek, where we camped, there being plenty of water and feed.
"Anyway, you're a very poor compliment," threw in Major Durward, with an expressive glance at his wife's beautiful face. It was obvious that he worshipped her, and she smiled across at him, blushing adorably, just like a girl of sixteen. Tim turned to Sara with a grimace. "It's a great trial, Miss Tennant, to be blessed with two parents " "It's quite usual," interpolated Geoffrey mildly.
