"Like Captain Selwyn with me," she repeated absently; "certainly; Captain Selwyn should be first, everything else second. But how did you find out that, Drina?" "Why, anybody can see that," said the child contemptuously; "you are as fast friends with Uncle Philip as I am with Boots. And why you don't marry him I can't see unless you're not old enough. Are you?" "Yes. . . . I am old enough, dear."
When a man has no interest in the planting, marketing, and selling price of his produce; when he knows that what he grows may be swept away from his district without being sure that it will be of any benefit to himself and his family; when, in addition, the father or sons of the households lie buried by the Yser, the Somme, the Meuse or the Drina, it is impossible for the authorities to inspire any enthusiasm for life, let alone war, even among so docile a people as those they deal with.
When they look pleasant they smile," said Drina, and continued reading from her own works: "Be kind in all You say and do For God made Kit-Ki The same as you. "Yours truly, "ALEXANDRINA GERARD. She looked doubtfully at Selwyn. "Is it all right to sign a poem? I believe that poets sign their works, don't they, Uncle Philip?" "Certainly. Drina, I'll give you a dollar for that poem."
The cavalry division, whose left flank was not freed by the clearing of the Tzer ridges, hurled itself against the Austrians in the plains before it and threw them into wild disorder. First they shelled them, then charged. The panic-stricken Magyars fled through the villages, across the corn fields, through the orchards. "Where is the Drina?
The Austrians at Losnitza were advancing up the mountain slopes and took possession of the Tzer and Iverak ridges, straddling the Leshnitza Valley. Up in Shabatz, Austrian troops were pouring across the pontoon bridges. A flanking column, coming from the Drina, had arrived at Slepehevitch.
Eileen is furious at being left here all alone; she's practically well and she's to dine with Drina in the library. Would you be good enough to dine there with them? Eileen, poor child, is heartily sick of her imprisonment; it would be a mercy, Phil." "Why, yes, I'll do it, of course; only I've some matters at home " "Home! You call those stuffy, smoky, impossible, half-furnished rooms home!
And would you mind bringing me a box of mint-paste? Mother won't object. Besides, I'll tell her, anyway, after I've eaten them." "All right!" said Selwyn, laughing and hanging up the receiver. On his way to the Gerards' he bought a box of the confection dear to Drina. But as he dropped the packet into his overcoat-pocket, the memory of the past rose up suddenly, halting him.
I just know you could do it if you had only thought to play forward! What on earth was the matter?" "Age," said Mr. Lansing serenely "decrepitude, Drina. I am a Was, sweetheart, but Eileen still remains an Is." "I won't let you say it! You are not a Was!" said the child fiercely. "After luncheon you can take me on for practice. Then you can just give it to her!"
"Two pillows," said Drina sweetly; and extermination was averted. The child laughed happily, covering one of Boots's hands with both of hers. "So you've left the service, Mr. Lansing?" began Eileen, lying back and looking smilingly at Boots. "Had to, Miss Erroll.
