A deep-chested shout of delight burst from the archers at the sight of this double feat, and Aylward, dancing with joy, threw his arms round the old marksman and embraced him with such vigor that their mail tunics clanged again. "Ah! camarade," he cried, "you shall have a stoup with me for this! What then, old dog, would not the hawk please thee, but thou must have the stork as well.
When the music was over, and everybody decently quiet, the concert began. "Le Camarade Tollot, of the Théâtre des Variétés de Paris will recite 'Le Dernier Drapeau," shouted the announcer. Le Camarade Tollot walked on the stage and bowed, a big, important young man with a lion's mane of dark hair.
Rose held out her hand to him with a little brusque bon camarade gesture. He pressed it warmly in his. 'That was nice of you! he cried. 'Very nice of you! Friends then? She nodded, and drew her hand away just as Agnes and the vicar disturbed them. Meanwhile Catherine was standing by the side of the pony carriage, watching Mrs. Thornburgh's preparations.
Stapleton belonged to the first group, although she spoke so little about herself. Yet I was not in the least attracted by her in the way Dulcie Challoner attracted me. I found her capital company; I could imagine our becoming great friends; I could think of her in the light of a bonne camarade. But that was all. As for feeling tempted to fall in love with her but the bare thought was grotesque.
What a remarkable, many-sided woman she is! a perfect queen of all society, and an admirable one at that. Everything she says is fresh and crisp, and her little jest well told and well chosen. The professor beams and smiles, though he is no great lady's man. She might be a bon camarade, so free is she from the airy little nothings of society that puzzle scholarly men.
There were two men under thirty, but the majority were middle-aged. They all seemed to Arithelli to have the same wild, restless eyes. They called her "Camarade," and "Amigo," and treated her not unkindly, but with an utter indifference to her sex. All their sayings showed the most absolute disregard for human life. "If a vase is cracked, break it. If your glove is worn out, throw it away."

Looking round, the wayfarers saw a gaunt, big-boned man, with sunken cheeks and a sallow face, who had come up behind them. He held up his two hands as he spoke, and showed that the thumbs and two first fingers had been torn away from each of them. "Ma foi, camarade!" cried Aylward. "Who hath served thee in so shameful a fashion?"
She is the sort of woman men put on a pedestal, and worship kneeling; and women mostly detest, because, in their secret hearts, they would like to be up there too! Personally I have no use for pedestals. I am content to be bon camarade! As for that sublime Desmond woman, I feel morally certain that she never commits an indiscretion, or has a knot in her shoe-lace, or loses her scissors!"
"It is a mark that I have found before now," answered the young bowman. "And shall again, camarade, I doubt not. But hola! Johnston, who is this who holds his bow like a crow-keeper?" "It is Silas Peterson, of Horsham. Do not wink with one eye and look with the other, Silas, and do not hop and dance after you shoot, with your tongue out, for that will not speed it upon its way.
