He was going to leave her she had not the faintest idea in the world where the trail lay. King went swiftly about his preparations. He did not even see her; he studiously kept his eyes aloof. Within his soul he swore that he would never look at her again....He took up his rifle. Gloria stirred uneasily. She did not like to yield to him even to the extent of saying a stiff word.
They stared at the guns and said, "By God we've got 'em going this time!" A group of French civilians gathered round them, excited at the sight. Artillery officers examined their broken breech-blocks and their inscriptions: "Pro Gloria et Patria." "Ultima ratio regis." The irony of the words made some of the onlookers laugh.
His new privilege, a lover's, a husband's, was not an hour old; he felt strangely shy as he spoke softly to her. "Please, Mark! I am terribly tired out, and and I'm afraid I've mislaid the key, and " That hurt him; his eyes darkened with the quick pain that came to him from her words. He had hoped that Gloria had known him better than that.
Now he got up and walked up and down; he made the fire blaze up; he sat huddled over it until it burned down to a bed of glowing red coals. Once or twice he heard Gloria stir restlessly upon her fir-bough bed. But he did not speak. There was nothing to be said between them now; they would wait until she had rested, until morning.

But, in any event, he would have tried to slip through, for he had been unable to locate Gloria by telephone, and another day of suspense would have been intolerable.
It was the well-known Mass or communion music of our own land, consisting of the beautiful strains of the Gloria, the Sanctus, and the Benedictus. As we came nearer, the breeze wafted us sweet incense from the altar, sandal and spice and flower and cinnamon scents. Though Moro was of a different faith, he took off his hat; so did I. The short Filipino men were dressed in white.

"And arrange with the judge," he said, his own voice uncertain. "Yes, Gloria." She ran by him then. He heard her going upstairs, he heard a door closing after her.
And for reasons very clear to her and which she had no doubt would be viewed with equal clarity by Gloria after this "escapade" of hers was done with, she meant to be very tactful indeed with Mr. Gratton.
