To him it has been indifferent whether, at the moment, the fortune seemed good or evil, in the end always it was good. As a boy officer, when other subalterns were playing polo, and at the Gaiety Theatre attending night school, he ran away to Cuba and fought with the Spaniards. For such a breach of military discipline, any other officer would have been court-martialled.
It is reassuring to know that our military authorities abroad have taken a strong stand and that in no army in Europe are drunkenness and the contraction of venereal disease more instantly court-martialled or more severely punished. The war, like a great searchlight thrown across our individual and national lives, has revealed men and nations to themselves.
Quite a great deal happened in my past. What was it, in particular, that she told you?" The mocking quality in his tones stung her into open accusation. "She told me that you had been court-martialled and cashiered from the Army for cowardice." The words came slowly, succinctly. "Ah h!" He drew his breath sharply, and a grey shadow seemed to spread itself over his face.
After going through the hard campaigning and the hard fighting in Virginia, this makes me very much ashamed. There are two courses only for me to pursue: to obey orders and say nothing; or to refuse to go upon any more such expeditions, and be put under arrest and probably court-martialled, which is a very serious thing."
The combined fleets of France and Spain recrossed the Atlantic and in accordance with Napoleon's plans made for Ferrol on the coast of Galicia. After being repulsed with some loss off Cape Finisterre by Sir Robert Calder, who was court-martialled and severely reprimanded for neglecting to follow up his victory, they put in first at Vigo, and then with fifteen allied ships at Coruña.
Supposing Nelson had been the commander-in-chief and his second in command had acted as he did towards Lord Keith, there would have been wigs on the green! The insubordinate officer would have been promptly court-martialled and hung at the yardarm like the Neapolitan Admiral, Francesco Caracciolo, or treated like the Hon.
He closed his eyes. He was being court-martialled. He stood with his hands at his sides before three officers at a table. All three had the same white faces with heavy blue jaws and eyebrows that met above the nose. They were reading things out of papers aloud, but, although he strained his ears, he couldn't make out what they were saying. All he could hear was a faint moaning.
"Give yourself no concern, Miss Glen," he said loftily; "I shall not betray you." "What! You won't tell him?" with a perfect assumption of profound amazement. "I will not," sternly. "But they say I heard you are to be court-martialled." Her voice sank to a low whisper, as if she were awestricken by the heavy tidings. "I am." "And that you will be found guilty " "I shall be."
I wasn't going to stand much of that sort of talk from Pat Singleton. I told him straight that if he didn't tell me that girl's name and where she lived I'd make things hot for him. I threatened to report the little game he'd had with the nurse and that if I did he'd be court-martialled.
Old Harry Lennox ain't commanding in Granthistan." "But it's just as bad if he only deserved to be court-martialled, and we know he doesn't. As if Mr Gerrard would ever have joined him if he had been merely trying to bring himself into notoriety at the expense of disobeying orders!" "There's no doubt that he moved without orders, my dear girl.
