Oh, no! we were only the escort of a political officer. We had been quartered in this border town for more than a year, and the senior officers' lady-wives had brought their lares and penates in three bullock-carts a-piece. I suppose we were objects of envy. We had all the excitement of novelty without any of the penalties of active warfare.
And for creatures such as these we men work work till our hairs are gray and our backs bent with toil work till all the joy and zest of living has gone from us, and our reward is what? Happiness? seldom. Infidelity? often. Ridicule? Truly we ought to be glad if we are only ridiculed and thrust back to occupy the second place in our own houses; our lady-wives call that "kind treatment."
