The work began for the battle of Rafa, and the enemy positions on the Magruntein hill were all set out before General Chetwode when the Desert Column attacked and scored an important victory.
Satisfied that he was unobserved, he stepped quickly into a very handsome motor car which was drawn up close to the curb, and with a sigh of relief sat as far back among the cushions as possible and held the tube to his mouth. "Get along home," he ordered, tersely. Arnold Chetwode, after his interview with his employer, returned unruffled to his place. Mr. Jarvis bustled in after him.
General Chetwode thought it was possible the enemy might make an offensive against us we have since learned he had such designs but he gave weighty reasons against the Turk embarking upon a campaign conducted with a view to throwing us beyond the Egyptian frontier into the desert again. If the enemy contemplated even minor operations in the Sinai Desert he had not the means of undertaking them.
HOW is your Grace's horse, Sans-pareil? asked Sir Chetwode Chetwode of Chetwode of the Duke of St. James, shooting at the same time a sly glance at his opposite neighbour, Sir Tichborne Tichborne of Tichborne. 'Quite well, sir, said the Duke in his quietest tone, but with an air which, he flattered himself, might repress further inquiry.
Sir Chetwode was somewhat garrulous, and was often like a man at a play, in the wrong box! Sir Tichborne was somewhat taciturn; but when he spoke, it was always to the purpose, and made an impression, even if it were not new. Both were kind hearts; but Sir Chetwode was jovial, Sir Tichborne rather stern. Sir Chetwode often broke into a joke; Sir Tichborne sometimes backed into a sneer. .
Jarvis and Mr. Arnold Chetwode. Weatherley and the cashier looked over his shoulder. "There is nothing there for me?" Mrs. Weatherley asked, incredulously. "There is nothing at all," Arnold replied; "unless there may be an enclosure. Mr. Jarvis, will you open this envelope?" Mr. Jarvis took it to the desk and broke the seal with trembling fingers.
Jarvis rose with a promptitude which was truly amazing, considering that a second ago he had been sitting there as though turned to stone. Mr. Weatherley was disposed to be irritable. "What on earth are you both staring at?" he asked. "Nothing wrong with my appearance, is there? You get out into the warehouse, Jarvis, and wait until you're sent for. Chetwode, go and sit down at your desk.
I should try, of course, to justify any confidence you might place in me." "I believe so, too, Chetwode," Mr. Weatherley declared. "I am going to trust you now with a somewhat peculiar commission. You may have noticed that I have been asked to speak privately upon the telephone several times this morning." "Certainly, sir," Arnold replied. "It was I who put you through." "I am not even sure," Mr.
"Dear bless me! What a late visitor! Who can it be? Martin, just go out and look never mind the door," and Mrs. Chetwode jumped up and stood so that she could hear the inquiry: "Is Mrs. Dacres here?" "Yes, sir, the ladies are at dinner." "Oh! Ah!" "Captain Dacres, is that you?" Bella had run out to meet him.
The Mayor was accompanied by the Chief of Police and two of the gendarmerie, and while communications were passing between General Shea, General Chetwode and General Headquarters, General Watson rode as far as the Jaffa Gate of the Holy City to learn what was happening in the town.
