"But I hardly need say to a fellow-officer, general, that we had no idea of making so gross an intrusion! We heard some cock-and-bull story of your being occupied cross-questioning an escaped or escaping nigger or we should never have forced ourselves upon you." Brant glanced quickly at his wife.
"You are tough customers, and no mistake, but I guess there are enough here to keep you quiet now." The German officer turned to his fellow-officer. "I'll take charge of them," he said quietly. "Give me a couple of dry guns; mine are no good." The other did as requested, and, pointing his two weapons at the lads, the German ordered: "March!"
At Safed, in the Galilean hills, his small party had found itself surrounded by an Arab mob, stricken suddenly mad with emotions unintelligible to the political mobs of the West. He was himself wounded, but, defending himself as best he could with a walking-stick, not only saved his own life but that of his fellow-officer, Lieutenant Conder, who had been beaten to the earth with an Arab club.
Theatres were re-opening with new plays; and a fellow-officer, who had a couple of stalls for the first production of a comedy about which public curiosity was whetted, meeting Linforth in the hall of his club, suggested that they should go together.

His curiosity was excited, and he walked over to the companion, where Graines appeared to be gazing into the darkness of the cabin; but he did not interfere with the proceedings of his fellow-officer. "We don't need the men you have called from the waist," said the engineer in a low tone. Christy sent the two men back to their former station.
"Dictate the telegram to the Staff, Von Wetten," he said, over his shoulder. Von Wetten laid his hat and cane on a chair and crossed the room. "I feel as if I were stabbing a fellow-officer in the back," he said, drearily. Then, to Herr Haase: "Take this, you!" "Zu Befehl, Herr Hauptmann," said Herr Haase, and picked up his pen.
As he knew most members of the personnel of the ships comprising the Atlantic fleet, he, of course, knew Commander Harold, though it had never occurred to him to associate him with Annapolis, or to make any inquiry regarding his home or his connections. Like many another, he was merely a fellow-officer.

'Butler, ma'am, said Waverley, resolved rather to make free with the name of a former fellow-officer than run the risk of detection by inventing one not to be found in the regiment. 'O, you got a troop lately, when that shabby fellow, Waverley, went over to the rebels?
