Early next morning I drove the Count back to Nice, where, at a quiet spot beyond the Magnan, he met the pretty Gabrielle clandestinely. When we drew up to where she was apparently awaiting us, I saw that she was annoyed at my presence. "Ewart, my chauffeur," he explained, introducing me, "will say nothing about this meeting. He knows how to be discreet."
Captain Ewart is waiting to speak to you. He came with me from Lord Cromer's." Captain Ewart then went in, and after settling the business on which he had come, asked Mr. Murray questions about Gregory, and received a sketch of his story. "He seems to be a fine young fellow," he said, "well grown and active, not at all what one would expect from a product of Cairo." "No, indeed.
I had also two or three rather important court-martial cases to attend to during the evenings. Before going back into the line I was given nine men to act as Brigade observers; the 6th N.F. sent L.-C. Chappell and Ptes. Wright and Hume; the 7th N.F. Ptes. Fail and Ewart; the 4th N.F. Pte. Brook and another; the 5th N.F. L.-C. Roxburgh, who had once been in the 7th N.F. and Pte. Garnett. Pte.
We merged our intellectual stock so completely that I wonder sometimes how much I did not become Ewart, how much Ewart is not vicariously and derivatively me. And then when I had newly passed my fourteenth birthday, came my tragic disgrace. It was in my midsummer holidays that the thing happened, and it was through the Honourable Beatrice Normandy.
He had come up to me after his coffee to consult me about a certain chalice which in a moment of splendour and under the importunity of a countess he had determined to give to a deserving church in the east-end. I, in a moment of even rasher generosity, had suggested Ewart as a possible artist.
Sir George Grey, the colleague of Gosford, Lord Stanley, a former colonial secretary, and William Ewart Gladstone, then a vigorous young Tory, spoke in support of the resolutions. The chief opposition came from the Radical wing of the Whig party, headed by Hume and Roebuck; but these members were comparatively few in number, and the resolutions were passed by overwhelming majorities.
Ewart took the whole direction upon himself, gave his orders with briefness and precision, and looked to their being executed with the silence and celerity which that peculiar crisis required. All were now dismissed for the brig, which lay, as Fairford was given to understand, a little farther down the river, which is navigable for vessels of light burden till almost within a mile of the town.
But I am sure, so sensible a man as Summertrees and the laird may correspond together without offence to the state. 'I take you, friend I take you, said Nanty Ewart, upon whom, at length, the liquor and tobacco-smoke began to make considerable innovation.
'There is some one yonder, whose head is worth thirty thousand pounds of sterling money, said Nixon, pausing between each word, as if to enforce the magnificence of the sum. 'And what of that? said Ewart, quickly.
Ewart had made use of his name to fill up their complement without his authority, and he begged to withdraw it, for he was resolved to remain decidedly neutral. The corruption was so gross and flagrant that he would not give his vote on either side." It is said that this election cost upwards of 100,000 pounds, of which sum Colonel Bolton supplied 10,000 pounds. Mr.
