Beresford, however, who in this battle combined generalship with brilliant courage, restored the fortunes of the day by a dashing advance against the redoubts on the French right. Having carried these he swept along the ridge, which became untenable, and Soult withdrew his army within his second line of defences.
You will send a personal demand to me here, and the money, in notes, shall be sent by return of post. As to salary, shall we say at the rate of three hundred a year? And an equal sum for Mr. Beresford, of course." Tuppence beamed upon him. "How lovely. You are kind. I do love money!
There was nothing in the will but what was pretty generally known. Mr. Beresford had made no secret of his intentions even with regard to legacies.
'No, no, said the Junta, 'Beresford and Monsoon are great men, and must be treated with respect! Do you think we'd let them search our pockets? But the rogues doubled on us after all; they sent us to the northward, a poor country " "So that, except a little commonplace pillage of the convents and nunneries, you had little or nothing?"
Commodore Beresford was accordingly sent on the expedition in command of the Belvidera, Poictiers, and several smaller vessels.
"Come and look at the flowers in my bedroom," I called, "four great boxes full! Mr. Beresford must have ordered the carnations, because he always does; but where did the roses come from, I wonder?" I rang the bell, and a neat white-aproned maid appeared. "Who brought these flowers, please?" "I cudna say, mam." "Thank you; will you be good enough to ask Mrs. M'Collop?"

He was all in a tempest of eagerness and delight; he scarcely lived in to-day it was next day.
This decided Nan to get out for a walk. 'You will be wet through, her elder sister exclaimed. 'My boots are thick, said Nan, 'and Parsons has my waterproof. When she had got down, and disappeared, Miss Beresford said, 'She is a strange girl; she always wants to be alone. 'She seems to think a great deal, and she always thinks in her own way, said Frank King.
Growls were their only comment when, under direction of Beresford, the Montanan stripped them of their weapons and kept guard on the fur-capped man his name appeared to be Lemoine while the latter brought the mules to the wagon pointed out by the officer. "Hook 'em," ordered Morse curtly. The French-Indian trapper hitched the team to the wagon.
'Oh, Sir George! Lady Beresford protested, 'it is impossible. Thank you very much but it is impossible 'Impossible! he cried. 'We don't know what that is at the Admiralty. The men who write in the newspapers expect us to be able to do everything at a moment's notice; and of course they're right; and so of course we can do it.
