But, alas! what could my readers have expected from the chivalrous epithets of Howard, Mordaunt, Mortimer, or Stanley, or from the softer and more sentimental sounds of Belmour, Belville, Belfield, and Belgrave, but pages of inanity, similar to those which have been so christened for half a century past?
So far as I can see, they toil not, neither do they spin. The chances are, on the other hand, that both Belville Rock and Colonel Doller regard me as the luckiest of lazy dogs, who has but to lie on his back and look at sun, moon, and stars to earn both fame and fortune.
I called feebly. "Help, forsooth! I begin to believe YOU ARE from the Yard," he said and his upper-cut came with the "Yard." It caught me under the chin. It lifted me off my legs. I have a dim recollection of the crash that I made in falling. Raffles was standing over me when I recovered consciousness. I lay stretched upon the bed across which that blackguard Belville had struck his knavish blow.
There was a Rugby scrum in the refectory, and hunting-men cried the "View halloo!" and shouted "Yoicks! yoicks!" ... General Baker-Carr was a human soul, and kept to his own room that night and let discipline go hang.... When the battles of the Somme began it was those young officers who led their machine-gun sections into the woods of death Belville Wood, Mametz Wood, High Wood, and the others.
He seems, in manner and rank, above the class of young men who take that turn; but I remember hearing them say, that the little theatre at Fairport was to open with the performance of a young gentleman, being his first appearance on any stage.

"Don't cry!" he said gently. "It may be something I know already." "Oh, no, it isn't!" she said with conviction. She stood before him in the twilight, her hands clasped tightly together. "Do you remember a girl called Mary Fielding?" she said, with a piteous effort to control her voice. "She used to be the friend of of your fiancée, Lady Maud Belville, long ago, before you had your accident."

A good-looking, well-built, iron-gray, iron-jawed man; but a fool and a weakling at that moment, if he had never been either before. "Lord Ernest Belville," said Raffles, "it's no use. This is a loaded revolver, and if you force me I shall use it on you as I would on any other desperate criminal.
I am indeed the most fortunate of men; for who but my Alice could be so sweet and self-abnegatory as to take upon her own dear little shoulders the burden of responsibilities that elsewise would weigh upon her husband?
