But facing the wreckage the bronze statue of Joan of Arc sat on her bronze charger, uninjured and untouched. In her right hand, lifted high above her as though defying the German shells, some one overnight had lashed the flag of France. The next morning the newspapers announced that the cathedral was in flames, and I returned to Rheims.
This roast meat was a type of the body of Christ as suffering for our sins, the which, when it was roast, was, and is as dressed up in chargers, and set before the congregations of the saints. But what were the chargers a type of? I also ask, in what charger our gospel passover is now dressed up and set before the people?
Still Eskiwin moved with slow deliberation. When the grave was covered he kneeled and prayed. "Come, come; you can do that on horseback" said Lancey, with impatience. Eskiwin took no notice of the irreverent interruption, but calmly finished his prayer, cast one sorrowful glance on the grave, and remounted his charger.
"How did you get away from Pilsen at last, and from whom did you steal that splendid charger on whom you rode up to the door?" "That is not my own secret, colonel, and I can only tell you at present that Wallenstein himself gave it to me." A roar of incredulous laughter broke from the officers round the table.

"Lady and sweet wife," he cried, "for the wrong I have done thee, pardon me. For, hearing thy words not three days since at morn, I doubted thy love and thy loyalty. But now I know thee and trust thee beyond the power of words to shake my faith." "Ah! my lord," cried Enid, "fly, lest they return and slay thee." "Knowest thou where is my charger?" "I will bring thee to it."
The mob in the street was now swollen to unrecognizable dimensions, and Alec's charger, which Bosko was holding, resented the uproar by lashing out viciously with his heels. A man who had narrowly escaped being kicked drew a revolver, fired, and the spirited Arab fell with a bullet in its brain.
