I rushed away to the back court, where the Castle Brady stables stand, and there I found a dragoon whistling the 'Roast Beef of Old England, as he cleaned down a cavalry horse. 'Whose horse, fellow, is that? cried I. 'Feller, indeed! replied the Englishman: 'the horse belongs to my captain, and he's a better FELLER nor you any day.
The cavalry included the 5th Dragoon Guards, the 5th Lancers, a detachment of 19th Hussars, the Natal Carabineers, the Natal Mounted Police, and the Border Mounted Rifles, reinforced later by the Imperial Light Horse, a fine body of men raised principally among the refugees from the Rand.
"He is seldom here; I may say I never see him." "What is the offence of poor Birch?" asked the aunt. "Poor!" cried the captain; "if he is poor, King George is a bad paymaster." "I am sorry," said Mr. Wharton, "that any neighbour of mine should incur displeasure." "If I catch him," cried the dragoon, "he will dangle from the limbs of one of his namesakes."
They maun be weel-looked an they're ony thing like you, Jack." "I have but one sister," replied the dragoon, "and there's not a gooder girl in England, nor a lady in it that has the bloom of Sally Windsor."

I got some buttermilk there." "Wasn't that what the guide called the place Lone Tree?" "Derned if I know, Sergeant.
At the same instant as the duke fell, a lifeless mass, over the crupper, Rupert leaped to the other side of the horse, placing the animal between him and the other assailants as they swept down upon him. Before they could check their horses he vaulted into the saddle, and with an adroit wheel avoided the rush of the dragoon.
The knotty point was, however, soon decided; and, on the appointed day, the brotherhood marched in great state, displaying sundry banners and mysterious symbols, each man with a little mimic apron before him, from a most cunningly contrived apartment in the garret of the Bold Dragoon, an inn kept by one Captain Hollister, to the site of the intended edifice.
