'Your wife, he said slowly, 'is looking for trouble. I'm not sure that it hasn't come. You know she was a friend of Rosario Rosario the Jew? 'I know that they were acquainted, I said. He laughed then, and I began to hate the fellow, Chetwode. 'It was your wife, he said, 'for whom Rosario wanted that title. She could have stopped him Then he broke off, Chetwode.
Bursting into the room she cried, "Oh, Bella, such a horrible thing has occurred! Do help me." And she told her the whole story, ending by saying, "I left word at home, when I went out, that I was going to see you." Mrs. Chetwode said something by way of calming her, and then she rang the bell. "Tell Martin to go to Mrs.
Perhaps I was wrong to have spoken to you at all, Chetwode." "If there is anything I can do," Arnold began, "It's in this way," Mr. Jarvis interrupted. "Owing, I dare say, to Mrs. Weatherley, you have certainly been put in a unique position here. You see more of Mr. Weatherley now than any one of us. For that reason I was anxious to make a confidant of you. I tell you that I am worried about Mr.
That bayonet charge was within sight of the Corps Commander, who was with General Shea at his look-out on Kustul, and when he saw the flash of steel driven home with unerring certainty by his magnificent men, General Chetwode may well have felt thankful that he had been given such troops with which to deliver Jerusalem from the Turks.
The men knew that the long visits General Chetwode paid them formed but a small part of his daily task. It has been said that a G.O.C. of a force has to think one hour a day about operations and five hours about beef.
Weatherley, of course, but he seems devoted to his wife." "Infatuated, sir! Infatuated is the word!" Mr. Jarvis declared. "She is very charming," Arnold remarked, thoughtfully. Mr. Jarvis looked as though there were many things which he could have said but refrained from saying. "You will not suggest, Chetwode," he asked, "that she married Mr.
By supreme judgment, when the Turks had committed themselves to the attack on Tel el Ful, without which they could not move a yard on the Nablus road, General Chetwode started his operations on the left of his line with the 10th and 74th Divisions, using his plan as it had been prepared for some days to seize successive lines of hills, and compelled the enemy, in order to meet this attack, to divert the fresh division held in waiting at Bireh to throw forward into Jerusalem the moment the storming troops should pierce our line.
Weatherley knocked the ash from his cigar, and, discovering that it was out, carefully relit it. "Chetwode," he said, "I have advanced you from something a little better than an office-boy, very rapidly, because it seemed to me that you had qualities. The time has arrived to test them. The secret of success in life is minding your own business.
I think you had better let Chetwode go, though." The young man turned away, humming a tune. "Not I!" he replied. "Don't be surprised, you fellows, if I am not out just yet. The governor's certain to introduce me." He knocked at the door confidently and disappeared. In a very few seconds he was out again. His appearance was not altogether indicative of conquest.
I can't help thinking," he went on, "that the governor would have done better to have married into one of our old city families. Nothing like them, you know, Chetwode. Some fine women, too. There's Godson, the former Lord Mayor. He had four daughters, and the governor might have had his pick." "Here he comes," Arnold remarked, quietly. Mr. Jarvis took the hint and went off to his work.
