He is not afraid of Dangloss or Braze or Quinnox, but he is afraid of what he calls 'American luck! He is even superstitious about it." "We must not we cannot fail," grated William Spantz, and the cry was reiterated by half a dozen voices. "The world demands success of us!" cried Anna Cromer. "We die for success, we die for failure! It is all one!"
"There is a bit of thistledown there," said Patty, "but don't brush it off. It's rather becoming to you." "Indeed it is," agreed Cromer. "I'd like to sketch you and that mite of humanity together." "You're ready to sketch anybody that comes along, seems to me," observed Bill. "Isn't this Miss Fairfield's turn?" "I expect she's about tired of holding her pose," said the artist.
As time went on this declaration did not seem quite explicit enough; and accordingly, just a year later, Lord Granville instructed the present Lord Cromer, then Sir Evelyn Baring, that it should be made clear to the Egyptian ministers and governors of provinces that "the responsibility which for the time rests on England obliges Her Majesty's government to insist on the adoption of the policy which they recommend, and that it will be necessary that those ministers and governors who do not follow this course should cease to hold their offices."
"Well, you see, Mr. Cromer," said Patty, smiling at him, "you said you wanted a more brownish lady for your misty maid. So Miss Dow and I have decided to change places." "All right," agreed Cromer. "It makes no difference to me, personally, of course. I'm merely designing the Niagara Float as an architect would.
Lord Cromer quotes this dictum in his work on Egypt as giving an epitome of the kind of power behind the civilizing process as it has always manifested itself in the land of the Nile; and then, lest those of his readers who live in the glass house of English history should commit the ridiculous sin of unconscious hypocrisy, he gently but firmly reminds us that many inhumanities of a similar spirit, especially towards offenders against the laws of property, were not suppressed in England till the beginning of the nineteenth century.
This buried forest has been traced from Cromer to near Kessingland, a distance of more than forty miles, being exposed at certain seasons between high and low water mark. It is the remains of an old land and estuarine deposit, containing the submerged stumps of trees standing erect with their roots in the ancient soil.
Naturally, the officers in the Egyptian service all understand enough of the language to get on with, but few of the officers in the British regiments do. "It is fortunate that you came today. I have an appointment with Lord Cromer tomorrow morning, so I will take the opportunity of speaking to him.
I must begin with Lord Cromer, for I had a regard for him, and for his wise and stimulating advice, which touches the point of veneration. He was seldom out of my thoughts. He was in the habit of consulting me freely in regard to public events and on other great matters, and we either met and talked or else wrote to each other almost daily.
"All right, fellows," I cried, "laugh all you want and I'll leave you a legging each as a legacy when I die." "Say, sonny, you're all right!" he exclaimed. Good humour returned all round. "We're from No. 2 Camp at Cromer Bay and we want a bunch of stuff." "Where is your list and I'll try to fill it?" I inquired. The Swede handed over a long order, badly scrawled on the back of a paper bag.
The artistic temperament has its penalties. My doctor at Cromer often told me that I vibrated like a harp at the slightest touch. I vibrated now. Indeed, I almost sat down in the sodden track.
