He is standing there in that home, watching the sick, noting unkindness and rudeness, smiling on the little deeds done for His sake, though none ever heard the floors creak beneath His weight, or saw the doors open to admit His person. How much we miss because we fail to discern Him!
McLean occupied the two rooms on the north side of this hall, and a brother infantryman, also a bachelor, occupied the two above him. The opposite rooms on both floors were the garrison homes of married officers now in the fields with their commands, and their doors were kept locked by the quartermaster.
The fact is that Belgians and French run the station together, and they are all agreed on one thing, which is, that no one but an authorised and registered person is to come within its doors. Heaven knows the trouble there has been with spies, and this rule is absolutely necessary. Two Red Cross khaki-clad men have been driving everywhere in Furnes, and have been found to be Germans.
Ah! he had no trouble from that quarter, for when the newly-wedded couple arrived at the castle, she had already disappeared. Happy, indeed, were the long bright days, which the prince and his new bride spent together, whether in the castle, or out doors, riding on horseback, or in hunting the deer.

There can naturally be little of the herdlike crushing at the doors of a political gathering in the country which marks the urban rally. The rural citizen has elbow-room to take his politics sedately and order his going with temperate pulse and judicial mind.
"We shall all be murdered, and the castle will be burnt. Oh, Mistress Bertha, where shall we run to? where shall we hide?" "Close the doors, girls," said Bertha, calmly. "Perhaps they will not come here." The sound of the footsteps drew nearer and nearer. One room after the other was entered, and at last that next to the nursery. A moment afterwards the nursery door was violently shaken.
He had thrown himself again towards the weapons which lay beyond his reach, but was met, and forcibly withheld from them. "Stand back!" said Mr. Carleton.
