"We don't kill men who blacken our friend's honour; we wait till they attack our own lives that's our code for you.
"There is a business opening for me here, and I'll take advantage of it." He spoke in set phrases, as if he had rehearsed the sentences many times. "Business!" echoed the judge incredulously.

They had fought well, they had fallen silently, and they had risen without bitterness. For the people of Kingsborough had opened their doors to wounded foes while the battle raged through their streets, succouring while they resisted. They lived easily and they died hard, but when death came they met it, not in grim Puritanism, but with a laugh upon the lips.

"You aren't looking bright to-day," he said kindly, "but things will pull through, never fear they always do, if you give them time."
He had enlisted as a private, had risen within a couple of years to a colonelcy, and had been raised to the rank of general by the unanimous voice of his neighbours upon his return home.
