A half-hour later Corporal Galna confided to Private Waugh that Sergeant Gellatly was too damned pretty for the force wondered if they called him Beauty at Fort Desire couldn't call him Pretty Gellatly, for there was Pretty Pierre who had right of possession to that title would like to ask him what soap he used for his complexion 'twasn't this yellow bar- soap of the barracks, which wouldn't lather, he'd bet his ultimate dollar.
And Corporal Galna replied, sarcastically, "That he might be able for spot dispersion of such a kind, but he had two as pretty spots on his cheek, and as white and touch-no-tobacco teeth as any female ever had."
He said that "Sergeant Tom was good-looking, a regular Irish thoroughbred; but he wasn't pretty, not much! guessed Corporal Galna had nightmare, and finally, as the interest in the theme increased in fervour, announced that Sergeant Tom could loosen the teeth of, and knock the spots off, any man among the Riders, from Archangel's Rise to the Cypress Hills. Pretty not much thoroughbred all over!"
While she was mounting, Corporal Galna drew and struck a match to light his pipe. He held it up for a moment as though to see the face of Sergeant Gellatly. Jen had just given a good-night, and the horse the word and a touch of the spur at the instant. Her face, that is, such of it as could be seen above the cloak and under the cap, was full in the light.

I'm Corporal Galna." Jen led the exhausted horse to the stables. Fortunately there was no lantern used, and therefore little chance for the garrulous corporal to study the face of his companion, even if he wished to do so. The risk was considerable; but Jen Galbraith was fired by that spirit of self- sacrifice which has held a world rocking to destruction on a balancing point of safety.
Private Waugh declared then that Corporal Galna would be saying Sergeant Gellatly wasn't a man at all, and wore earrings, and put his hair into papers; and when he could find no further enlargement of sarcasm, consigned the Corporal to a fiery place of future torment reserved for lunatics. At this critical juncture Waugh was ordered to proceed to Inspector Jules.

Here, Waugh, this to Inspector Jules! If you won't step in and won't drink and will be unsociable, sergeant, why, come on and you shall have a horse as good as the one you've brought. I'm Corporal Galna." Jen led the exhausted horse to the stables.
