The camping ground was arranged almost as though they were going to stay there for ever. Here were the guns in order, there the relics of the 18th Hussars; there the Leicesters, the 60th, the Dublins, the Royal Irish Fusiliers, and the rest. The guards were set and sentries posted.
The Leicesters and one field battery the 67th were left behind to protect the camp and to watch the Newcastle Road upon the west. At seven in the morning all was ready for the assault. Two military facts of importance had already been disclosed.

"Very satisfactory; quite right," the clergyman added.
"Foot-rot, eh?" "Well, yes, sir," says James, "they always will, you know, in these wet clays. But I prefer 'em to the Leicesters, for all that." "How is scapegrace Hamlyn?" asked the Vicar.
