So Dave was taken to hospital, stripped, rubbed down, put to bed and dosed with hot drinks. Some four hours later Commander Jephson, commandant of midshipmen, came through the hospital, accompanied by Lieutenant Edgecombe, who had been the sailing instructor of the afternoon. "Good evening, Mr. Darrin," was the commandant's very cordial greeting. "Good evening, sir." "Good evening, Mr.
And I remembered a boy who had stood awe-struck before this man in the commandant's house at Fort Sackville. Ay, and I heard again his words as though he had just spoken them, "Promise me that you will not forget me if I am unfortunate." I did not understand then. And now because of a certain blinding of my eyes, I did not see him clearly as he got slowly to his feet. He clutched the table.
Petr' Andréjïtch has been wounded in the chest, beneath the right shoulder, under one rib, to the depth of a verchok and a half, and he has been taken care of in the Commandant's house, whither we brought him from the river bank, and it was the barber here, Stépan Paramonoff, who treated him; and now Petr' Andréjïtch, thank God, is going on well, and there is nothing but good to tell of him.
Then, there is a journal of the siege of Fort Niagara, so minute that it almost numbers the cannon-shot and bombs, and describes the effect of the latter missiles on the French commandant's stone mansion, within the fortress. In the letters of the provincial officers, it is amusing to observe how some of them endeavor to catch the careless and jovial turn of old campaigners.
The latter desired to ascertain whether the influential warrior who commanded the most important fortress in the country could be persuaded to join a conspiracy formed by Arsinoe against her royal husband, but he seemed to have left Philippus with very faint hopes. Subordinate officers and messengers also frequently claimed the commandant's attention.
Yet, in such appearances as Henkel was permitted to make, it was noted that he bore himself cheerfully and confidently. Then, one day, just before the dinner formation, Darrin was ordered to report at the commandant's office. "Mr.
Take your face out of your hands!" "At Bisuka Barracks. She is the commandant's daughter. I came out to marry her." "What possessed ye not to tell me?" "Why should I tell you? We buried the wedding-day months back, in the snow." "Boy, boy!" the packer groaned. "What difference can it make now?" "All the difference all the difference there is!
But the Jesuit was closely followed by a band of soldiers, who, notwithstanding the supplications of the women, and the demand of Kloet to be indulged with a soldier's death, tied a rope round the commandant's necks dragged him from his bed, and hanged him from his own window.
Some explanation might be trumped up on the morrow as that the wind was foul for returning from the Keg of Butter. No one would accuse Eli Tregarthen of borrowing a boat with intent to steal: his taking it would be no more than a neighbourly liberty. But, with the chief boatman watching the pier-head, she would be discovered to a certainty. The Commandant's last hope was gone.
But they will watch us; we must pretend to be friends for a few days. Good-bye." And we parted as if nothing had happened. Upon my return to the Commandant's, I sat down according to my custom by Marya Ivánofna; her father was not at home, and her mother was engaged with household cares.
