Uarda accompanied her grandfather and Praxilla to their tent on the farther side of the Nile, but she was to return next morning to the Egyptian camp to take leave of all her friends, and to provide for her father's internment.
Let us now examine under another aspect the mental obscurity of the Necrophori. My captives are not so satisfied with their sumptuous lodging that they do not seek to escape, especially when there is a dearth of labour, that sovran consoler of the afflicted, man or beast. Internment within the wire cover palls upon them.
At least this was the only impression we could gather from the statements of visitors who were occasionally permitted to attend our theatrical and vaudeville performances and concerts. We had nothing for which to thank the Germans in the way of diversion than we had in any other direction. When I reached the internment camp it was in a wildly chaotic condition.
And, upon a north pillar, that of Girton Peak, Esq; an humane magistrate, who died in 1770, aged 48. Internment in the church is wisely prohibited; an indecency incompatible with a civilized people.
It was I who discovered the author of the theft in an English internment camp; it was I who prevailed upon him to acquiesce in our terms; it was I who finally located the hiding place of the document ... all this, mark you, without setting foot in England." My thoughts flew back again to the three slips of paper in their canvas cover, the divided crest, the big, sprawling, upright handwriting.
Two thousand unhappy victims of Austria's brutal tyranny lie buried in the cemetery attached to the Talerhof Camp of internment. Of these, 1200 died of epidemics." Other information concerning the same camp of Talerhof fully corroborates this statement.
Reaching the camp the Commanding Officer, a friendly old General whose name I never heard, hurried up. "What's the meaning of this?" he blurted out in amazement. "Prisoners of war for internment!" replied our officer-in-charge. "But I don't know anything about them. I have received no instructions. There is no accommodation for them here!" protested the General.
"When he had ended his pompous discourse," said Monsieur de Bourbonne, after relating the incidents of the internment to Madame de Listomere when whist was over, the doors shut, and they were alone with the baron, "this Louis XI. in a cassock imagine him if you can! gave a last flourish to the sprinkler and aspersed the coffin with holy water."
"It appears," Julian replied, "that he was a German hairdresser, who escaped from an internment camp two years ago and has been at large ever since, keeping in touch, somehow or other, with his friends on the other side. He must have known the game was up as soon as he was caught. He didn't even attempt any defence." "Shot, eh?" Furley repeated, relighting his pipe. "Serves him damned well right!"
Later, a gorgeously apparelled Turkish staff officer came across and was taken blindfolded to Headquarters, where an armistice for internment purposes was agreed upon.
