He was up late next morning, and made but a poor breakfast. His after- dinner nap was disturbed, and tea was over before he had regained his wonted calm. An hour later the arrival of a dignified and reproachful Mr. Farrer set him blazing again. "I have come to see you about last night," said Mr. Farrer, before the other could speak.
Farrer bought the manor. And he did also constantly read the Matins every morning at the hour of six, either in the Church, or in an Oratory, which was within his own house. And many of the family did there continue with him after the prayers were ended, and there they spent some hours in singing Hymns, or Anthems, sometimes in the Church, and often to an organ in the Oratory.
Mr. Farrer was repeatedly struck with the pertinacity with which the worms re-opened their old burrows, even when no earth was ejected from them. I have often observed the same fact, and generally the mouths of the burrows are protected by an accumulation of pebbles, sticks or leaves. Mr.
"I want a man for a son-in-law," said the other. "I don't say he's got to be a soldier." "Just so," said Mr. Farrer. "You're a man, ain't you? Well, I'll do anything that you'll do." "Pph!" said the sergeant-major. "I've done my little lot. I've been in action four times, and wounded in three places. That's my tally." "The colonel said once that my husband doesn't know what fear is," said Mrs.
It couldn't do me any harm." "Did you see its face?" inquired Mrs. Ward, nervously. Mr. Farrer shook his head. "What sort of a body had it got?" said her daughter. "So far as I could see, very good," said Mr. Farrer. "Very good figure not tall, but well made." An incredible suspicion that had been forming in the sergeant-major's mind began to take shape.
Farrer, having seen the manners and vanities of the world, and found them to be, as Mr. Herbert says, "a nothing between two dishes," did so contemn it, that he resolved to spend the remainder of his life in mortifications, and in devotion, and charity, and to be always prepared for death.
I prepared a short report, which the cures and the syndics signed. Then arrived a company of horsemen at a gallop. These were the Duke of Chartres, the Duke of Fitzjames, and M. Farrer. By a very singular chance, we had come down close by the hunting-lodge of the latter. He leaped from his horse and threw himself into my arms, crying, 'Monsieur Charles, I was first!
The night after the battle we were relieved by the 5th Lincolnshires and marched out to Red Mill again for a few days' rest. We were congratulated by the General on the fight, and Captain Moore and "C" Company came in for special praise for their work with the bayonet. Capt. Wynne and 2nd Lieut. Farrer were buried in Bully Grenay, and Lieut. N.C. Marriott took over "B" Company.
The next day the bombardment of "50" and "50S" continued, and amongst other casualties, which were heavy, Capt. J.L. Griffiths and 2nd Lieut. R.B. Farrer of "B" Company were both hit and had to be evacuated, the one with 13, the other 35 small fragments of shell in him.
"I won't tell you, but I'll give you a hint. If you see anything awful, don't be frightened." Mr. Farrer stroked her hand. "The only thing I'm afraid of is your father," he said, softly. "Oh!" said the girl, clasping her hands together. "You have guessed it." "Guessed it?" said Mr. Farrer. Miss Ward nodded. "I happened to pass his door this morning," she said, in a low voice.
