Davies's and Irvin Gregg's brigades on my right and left flanks met with some resistance, yet not enough to deter them from, executing their orders. In front of Merritt the enemy held on more stubbornly, however, and there ensued an exceedingly severe and, at times, fluctuating fight.
Behind him came the other Michigan regiments, Devin's and Gibbs's brigades, then Chapman, McIntosh, Irvin Gregg, and Davies in succession. Davies was to look out for the rear. Thus the latter, who led the Kilpatrick expedition, found his position reversed on this. The responsibility was great and he met it with his accustomed courage and ability.
Irvin had seen him before, his statuesque repose and the weirdness of his unfaltering gaze thrilled her uncannily. Kazmah slightly raised his hand in greeting: the big ring glittered in the subdued light. "Tell me your dream," came a curious mocking voice; "and I will read its portent." Such was the set formula with which Kazmah opened all interviews.
Monte Irvin was feverishly preoccupied with matters having no relation to dinner and the theatre. But his private suspicions grew only the more acute. "Then if the dinner is not off," he said, "may I come along and wait for you?" "At Kazmah's?" asked Mrs. Irvin. "Certainly." She turned to Sir Lucien. "Shall you wait? It isn't much use as I'm dining with Quentin."
It makes one tremble to think what might have been, of what inevitably must have happened, had Gregg, with only the two little brigades of McIntosh and Irvin Gregg and Randol's battery, tried to cope single-handed with the four brigades and three batteries, comprising the very flower of the confederate cavalry and artillery, which those brave knights Stuart, Hampton and Fitzhugh Lee were marshaling in person on Cress's ridge.
Many thousands of careers were wrecked by the war, and to the war and the consequent absence of her husband Rita undoubtedly owed her relapse into opium-smoking. That she would have continued secretly to employ cocaine, veronal, and possibly morphine was probable enough; but the constant society of Monte Irvin must have made it extremely difficult for her to indulge the craving for chandu.
Irvin has fainted. Lend a hand." "I am here," replied the quiet voice of Seton Pasha. "My God!" whispered Gray. "Seton! Seton!" "Touch nothing," cried the Inspector from outside, "until I come!" And now the narrow apartment became filled with all the awe-stricken company, only excepting Monte Irvin, and Brisley, who was attending to the swooning man.
She had learned in the brief time that had elapsed since this black sorrow had come upon him to understand what it was in the character of Monte Irvin which had attracted Rita. It afforded an illustration of that obscure law governing the magnetism which subsists between diverse natures.
"Well, I suppose it cannot be helped," she added and smilingly extended her hand. "Good night, Mr. Irvin. Don't bother to come to the door." But Irvin passed Hinkes and walked out under the porch with Margaret Halley.
"Poor, foolish girl!" he said gravely. "Her life might have been so different so useful and happy." "I agree," replied Seton, "if she had had a husband like Kerry." "Oh, please don't!" said Margaret. "I almost fell in love with Chief Inspector Kerry myself." "A grand fellow!" declared her husband warmly. "The Kazmah inquiry was the triumph of his career." Monte Irvin turned to him.
