The Nubian gave another roar of delight when this was translated, and extended his great hand to one whom he thenceforth regarded as a brother-in-arms. Lancey grasped and shook it warmly. "Let the Englishman see your sword," said Sanda in Turkish to Hamed. Sanda knew his friend's weak point.
But Cloudesley was now upon the spot, and while he bathed the face of the fainting man, explained to them how it was, and requested some one to ride immediately to the village and procure a physician. Thurston Willcoxen, the next in command under him, and his chosen brother-in-arms, mounted his horse and galloped off.
"I'm glad of it, and that Mr Denham here seems to look upon you as a companion a brother-in-arms, I ought to say." "Yet I've a lot of trouble with him, sir," said Denham mockingly. "He's a very impudent young brother-in-arms sometimes."
"In the year you refer to, Mr. Macgregor, I was getting skelped in the parish school," said I. "So young!" cries he. "Ah, then, you will never be able to think what this meeting is to me. In the hour of my adversity, and here in the house of my enemy, to meet in with the blood of an old brother-in-arms it heartens me, Mr. Balfour, like the skirting of the highland pipes!

Every man knows that voice, and loves the boy who owns it little Tom Morgan, Dan's brother-in-arms, the General's seventeen-year-old brother and there he stands leaning against a tree, full in the light of the fire, a handsome, gallant figure a song like a seraph's pouring from his lips.
On his way he had received various reports concerning Ephraim through a brother-in-arms from Tanis, so he could tell her that the lad had been disobedient and, probably from foolish curiosity, had gone, ill and wounded, to the city, where he had found shelter and care in the house of a friend.
