At length their pilot, wearing his wind-mask, appeared and began to climb to his perch. With a cool nod for Lanyard and a civil bow to his woman passenger, he settled himself, adjusted several levers, and flirted a gay hand to his brother-officers. There was a warning cry. The crowd dropped back rapidly to either side.
The enemy having obtained notice of our approach, had, our spies informed us, so placed their artillery as completely to command it. I was seated in the evening round the camp-fire, with Don Carlos, his brother, the doctor, the padre, and several of my brother-officers, when I saw an Indian approaching.
Letters from the War Office, from brother-officers, from the Colonel, from the Brigadier General himself, had broken her down. She gave me the letters to read. Everyone loved him, admired him, trusted him. "As brave as a lion," wrote one. "Perhaps the most brilliant company officer in my brigade," wrote the General. And his death the tragic common story.
Schuyler, the brigade commissary, being much with the teenth messing with them, in fact, when he was not dancing attendance on Miss Prime heard all this camp talk and told her. Gray's brother-officers really consider him in danger of dismissal?" "Miss Lawrence, I grieve to say that not one has any other opinion now." There could be no doubt of it.
Morden was engaged to act as governess to the young heiress during her mother's absence. She was the widow of one of his brother-officers a highly accomplished woman, and a woman of conscientious feelings and high principle. "Never had any creature more need of your protection than my child has," said Honoria.
Two or three of Michael's brother-officers were there, one sitting in the patch of sunlight with his back against the green door, another on the step outside. The post had come in not long before, and all of them, Michael included, were occupied with letters and papers.
"That the Lord will grant her eternal rest? Look at her, then! Isn't eternal rest written on her face?" Reimers reached the practice-camp again when his brother-officers were at mess. It was only on alighting from the carriage that he remembered Frommelt's commission. He was staggered a little at this neglect; but after all what did such trifles matter?
"And I," said Captain Sinclair, who had been in conversation with Mary Percival, and who now addressed Mr. Campbell, "have been making another collection for you among my brother-officers, which you were not provided with, and will find very useful, I may say absolutely necessary." "What may that be, Captain Sinclair?" said Mr. Campbell. "A variety of dogs of every description.
"That's possibly what I've felt," said he. "But it doesn't matter a damn with regard to what I want to say. It's a question not of your feelings towards me, but my feelings towards you. I don't want to make polite speeches but you're a man whom I have every reason to honour and trust. And unlike all my other brother-officers, you have no reason to be jealous "
On rejoining his regiment, too, after some of his triumphant expeditions, he was careful to bear himself with a modesty that took the point from detraction, assuring, as it did, his brother-officers that they would have done as well as he, had they enjoyed the same chances.
