"I haven't seen much of him." "He and Esther are together a great deal, eh?" Mr. Fentolin asked quickly. "They seem to be quite friendly." "It isn't Mr. Hamel, by any chance, who has been putting these ideas into your head?" "No one has been putting any ideas into my head," Gerald answered hotly. "It's simply what I've seen and overheard.
I had the will and the fearlessness for the game I played, and some of the wit; but most of the wit I freely admit was supplied me by Hendrik Hamel. And so we journeyed up to Keijo, from walled city to walled city across a snowy mountain land that was hollowed with innumerable fat farming valleys. And every evening, at fall of day, beacon fires sprang from peak to peak and ran along the land.
No men could get to them through the deep barrage of shell-fire which was between them and our supporting troops. Many tried and died. The Ulster men went forward toward Beaumont Hamel with a grim valor which was reckless of their losses. Beaumont Hamel was a German fortress. Machine-gun fire raked every yard of the Ulster way. Hundreds of the Irish fell.
Biplanes and monoplanes came driving through the air from Hendon, and airmen of world-wide fame, such as Sopwith, Hamel, Verrier, and Hucks, had gathered together as disciples of the great life-saving missionary. Stern critics these! Men who would ruthlessly expose any "faked" performance if need were! And where is the little airman while all this crowd is gathering? Is he very excited?
On that day Americans assisted the Australians in taking Hamel with many prisoners. On the 8th and 9th the French advanced in the region of Longpont and northwest of Compiègne, taking Castel and other strong points near the west bank of the Avre river. July 14, the French national holiday, was generally observed in America and by the American soldiers in France.
"I met the boy bringing it out of the office." Hamel tore it open, with a word of thanks. Gerald stood in front of him as he read. "If you wouldn't mind putting it away at once," he asked, a little uncomfortably. "You see, the telegraph office is in the place, and my uncle has a queer rule that every telegram is brought to him before it is delivered." Hamel did not speak for a moment.
We will perhaps couple that toast in our minds with the sentiment which I am sure is not very far from your thoughts, Florence." Hamel raised his glass and bowed to his host and hostess. He was not wholly at his ease. It seemed to him that he was being watched with a queer persistence by both of them. Mrs. Fentolin continued to talk and laugh with a gaiety which was too obviously forced. Mr.
"Well, don't let's talk about him," Hamel begged, as her voice faltered. "Now that I am going to stay in the neighbourhood for a few days, you must please remember that it is partly your responsibility. You are not going to shut yourself up, are you? You'll come and play golf again?" "If he will let me," she promised. "I think he will let you, right enough," Hamel observed.
They must consider themselves first: that's the first duty of their politicians towards their country." "You mean to say," Hamel asked, "that you seriously believe that a conference is on the point of being held at which France and Russia are to be invited to consider suggestions like this?" "I am afraid there's no doubt about it," Kinsley declared.
Except on their right, at Beaumont Hamel and Beaucourt, they were far beyond the great system of protective dugouts which had given them a sense of safety before July 1st. Their second and third lines of defense had been carried, and they were existing in shell-craters and trenches hastily scraped up under ceaseless artillery fire.
