Running suddenly into my prison, he drew a corporal's sabre from under his coat, and said, "Friend, we are betrayed; follow me, only do not suffer me to fall alive into the hands of my enemies." I would have spoken: but interrupting me, and taking me by the hand, he added, "Follow me; we have not a moment to lose."
Of the two, the Corporal's whistle was much more innocent than the girl's sobbing: he was a rogue; but a good-natured old fellow when his humour was not crossed.
"You were a raw colt when I got you, Payne, and the bit galled you now and then, but you had good hands on a bridle, and somebody who knew his business had taught you to sit a horse in the old country. Still, you were not as handy with brush and fork at stable duty," The bronze seemed to deepen in the corporal's face, but it was turned steadily towards his officer.
Fill up here, Bantem." Joe Bantem waved his hand to his wife, and took the dead corporal's place, but not easily, for Measles, who was next man, was stepping into it, when Captain Dyer ordered him back. "But there's such a much better chance of dropping one of them mounted chaps, sir," says Measles grumbling.
Two of them met in a sideways crash, then a third staggered as its stern globe flared and exploded. Santos had scored a hit! Rip called, "Good shooting!" The corporal's reply was rueful. "Sir, that wasn't the one I aimed at. The sun's pull is worse than I figured."
And the things I saw and heard; and then, when I came here, only meanin' to save him He broke off and nodded at the child, who catching his eye, nodded back smiling. He and the corporal had evidently made great friends. But the corporal's gaze, wavering past him, had fixed itself on a trestle bed in the corner. 'There was a woman, he said.
At the close of that reply, and just before Douglas's rejoinder, Lovejoy had announced to the audience that a Republican State Convention would be immediately held in the Senate Chamber, extending an invitation to delegates to join in it. But the appeal fell upon unwilling ears. Scarcely a corporal's guard left the discussion. The Senate Chamber presented a discouraging array of empty benches.
"If it pleases you to represent that the whole thing was accidental and you don't deserve to be promoted sergeant for tonight's work, at least you might respect my vanity." Polly saw her opportunity. She crossed boldly and made as if to lay over the Corporal's mouth the hand that would fain have boxed his ears.
When we go, let us go as soldiers; and if we have only a corporal's command, let us lead soldiers. The grand Northern onset of which you have dreamed so long has been made. You have seen the result. You have the means and ability to equip and command a regiment. Infuse into it your own spirit; and at the same time make it a machine that will hold together as long as you have a man left."
"My makee holee thliss morn'," he said gladly. "Makee Napoleon more happy." Sincerity is not a matter of broken English or a drink of rum; the poor old grandfather of the Little Corporal's namesake believed earnestly that Napoleon would improve by his sacramental offering. He, like most Marquesans, took the white man's religion with little understanding.
