He had just gathered up the reins when the Gipsy-father took him by the arm. "If you want to make Lollo go fast, my little gentleman "
And across the plain between them, he saw Master Jackanapes galloping alone at the top of Lollo's speed, their faces to the enemy, his golden head at Lollo's ear. But at this moment noise and smoke seemed to burst out on every side, the officer shouted to him to sound retire, and between trumpeting and bumping about on his horse, he saw and heard no more of the incidents of his first battle.

Their hearer does not speak, but he never moves his eyes from the trumpet, and when the tale is told, he lifts Miss Jessamine's hand and presses his heavy black moustache in silence to her trembling fingers. The sun, betting gently to his rest, embroiders the sombre foliage of the oak-tree with threads of gold.
You have my word for it. Can I do nothing else?" "Yes, Major. A favor." "Thank you, Jackanapes." "Be Lollo's master, and love him as well as you can. He's used to it."
