Horses were there in waiting; a hundred hands were ready to hold the stirrup for Clive; but he mounted unassisted and rode off in company with Sir Philip Chetwode, a neighboring squire whose guest he was. When the principal figure had gone, the throng rapidly melted away, and soon the street had resumed its normal quiet. The boy was among the last to quit the scene.
If you go and don't bring her back if you give the alarm you'll wake up one night and find me by your bedside, and you'll be sorry. You see, I remember every word he said, Chetwode every word." "Go on, please!" Arnold exclaimed, breathlessly. Mr. Weatherley nodded slowly. "Yes," he said, "I shall tell you all about it. I remember every word that was spoken; I can see the man at this moment.
The First Army Corps had marched by Guise; the loss of a detachment of Munsters by misadventure early on the 27th was redeemed by the defeat on the 28th of two German columns by two brigades of Allenby's cavalry led by Gough and Chetwode. That night the Expeditionary Force had its first real sleep since Sunday, and next day there were no marching orders.
"I am glad to hear you say that, Chetwode," he declared, "very glad. Still, I didn't want to go to prison, you know, so a few days afterwards I went away. I meant to hide for quite a long time. I I don't know what I'm doing back here." He looked around the office like a trapped animal. "I didn't mean to come back yet, Chetwode!" he exclaimed. "Don't leave me! Do you hear? Don't leave me!"
"I don't seem to be able to get on with my work this morning, since you told me she was coming down. Queer thing, although I was with her last evening, you know, Chetwode, I feel, somehow, as though I'd been away from her for weeks and weeks. I can't remember exactly how long there's such a buzzing in my head when I try. What do you do when you have a buzzing in your head, Chetwode?"
A couple of months before General Allenby took over command, General Chetwode had taken in hand the question of training, and in employing the knowledge gained during the strenuous days he had spent in France and Flanders, he not only won the confidence of the troops but improved their tone, and by degrees brought them up to something approaching the level of the best fighting divisions of our Army in France.
"I say, what a game here's another visitor!" remarked Captain Dacres cheerily. "One who is expected, I shouldn't wonder." Mrs. Chetwode, as usual, rose equal to the emergency. "We may as well let the cat out of the bag, Nina, and tell him. We've got a young man coming to take us to the play," and turning to Martin she said, "Show him into the boudoir if that's Mr. Vere." "Mr. Vere! What, Teddy!
The look in Arnold's face, as she came slowly into the room, was one of frank and boyish admiration. The woman came towards him with a soft smile about her lips, but she was evidently puzzled. It was Mr. Weatherley who spoke. There was something almost triumphant in his manner. "This is Mr. Chetwode, dear, of whom I was speaking to you," he said.
She dashed away from The Paddock. Again, on her way home, Hollyhock was entertained by the sounds of mirth at Ardshiel. On this occasion a number of girls were playing tennis, and her own sisters, Jasmine and Gentian, blew rapturous kisses to her. This seemed to the unhappy child to be the last straw. 'Who is that girl? asked Ivor Chetwode. 'She is my sister, replied Jasmine. 'Your sister!
'Are they? I don't want them. 'But they are coming all the same, Hollyhock, and so is Aunt Cecilia; and to-morrow they are coming again with that dear boy Ivor Chetwode. 'Oh, is that his name? said Hollyhock. 'How can you know anything about his name? said Jasmine in astonishment.
