Smith, however, finding a ravine running towards his front, sufficiently deep to protect men in it from cross fire, and somewhat from a direct fire, put Martindale's division in it, and with Brooks supporting him on the left and Devens on the right succeeded in gaining the outer probably picket rifle-pits.
There was not a movement, not a word, not a sound, save that of the roaring flame. The first voice was Lord Martindale's: 'Are all out? Is every one safe? 'Yes, my lord, all but the claret of 1826, said that last to escape, half-clad, grimy, and singed, only in courteous voice, the butler. 'Thank God! said Lord Martindale, fervently.

He did not seek to alter her decision, but sent the boat along with rapid strokes, which broke up the placid water into ripples at each plunge of the oars. Lady Merivale leaned forward and gave a sudden start. "Look, look!" she cried in terror-stricken tones. "What is that?"

'Is your party arranged? asked Violet. 'Yes, I may say so.
You will be, as Lord Martindale says, the daughter of our old age our own dear child! 'Will I? Violet threw her arms round Lady Martindale's neck, and shed tears of joy. Lady Martindale held her in her arms, and murmured caressing words. Arthur's step approached. His mother opened the door and met him. 'She consents! Dear, dear Violet consents! Now we shall be happy.
