Attended by many of the warriors who had fought at Leeds, he marched to the west, occupying on his journey the lands and castles of his enemies. He kept his Christmas court at Cirencester, and thence advanced towards the Severn. As the inaction of Lancaster kept the northern barons quiet, Edward's sole task was to wreak his revenge on the marcher lords.
The greedy marcher was at no pains to make himself popular. Holding no great office of state, he strove to rule through his creatures Orleton, the treasurer, and the hardly less subservient chancellor, Bishop Hotham of Ely, or through lay partisans such as Sir Oliver Ingham and Sir Simon Bereford.
Du Guesclin invaded the county from the north in co-operation with the Spaniards at sea, Owen of Wales abandoned the siege of Cornet castle, in Guernsey, which still held out against him, and hurried to join the Spaniards. At Santander he met the captive Pembroke, and bitterly reproached the marcher earl with the part his house had taken in driving the Welsh from their lands.
So then she would give a great sigh of relaxed nervous tension and go back to her heroine and the Indians and the mysterious footsteps that marched on moonlight nights up and down a long porch just outside windows that frequently framed white, scared faces with wide, horror-stricken eyes which saw nothing of the marcher, though the steps still went up and down. It was very creepy, in spots.
What Marcher was at all events conscious of was in the first place that the image of scarred passion presented to him was conscious too of something that profaned the air; and in the second that, roused, startled, shocked, he was yet the next moment looking after it, as it went, with envy.
She only listened to hear whether the voice was kind, and with men in this uniform it usually was kind. Had they anything to eat? "Vous avez quelque chose a manger?" "Rien. Rien du tout." Wasn't her mother "trop malade a marcher?" She shrugged; Monsieur could see for himself. And her father? He was dead; "mort a la Marne, en quatorze." "At the Marne?"
He is one of the very best soldiers in Europe, somewhat careless in dress, drill and discipline, perhaps, but a good shot, a tireless marcher, inured to every form of hardship, and invariably cheerful and uncomplaining. Perhaps it is his instinctive love of soldiering which makes him so reluctant to lay down the rifle and take up the hoe.
I was of course an ass," Marcher went on; "but I would rather know from you just the sort of ass I was than from the moment you have something in your mind not know anything." Still, however, she hesitated. "But if you've completely ceased to be that sort ?" "Why I can then all the more bear to know. Besides, perhaps I haven't." "Perhaps.
Those who were going for drill at this hour fell in at the command, of their squad marcher, and strode away to the riding hall. Once inside, the cadets disposed of their uniform raincoats. The squad marcher reported to Captain Albutt, who was their instructor for the afternoon. "To horse!" came the crisp order. Each cadet stepped to his mount, untying the animal and standing by.
"This room is far from the bedroom of my dreams," I muttered, "but a la rigueur ca peut marcher." But pursuing my quest a little farther, I came upon a spacious bedroom with two windows looking out on the courtyard a room which would have satisfied the most imaginative lover, a room worthy of the adorable Doris, and I can say this as I look back fondly on her many various perfections.
