The Tories, grieved at the loss of the Duke of Hamilton, charged the fatal combat on the Whig party, whose leader, the Duke of Marlborough, had so recently set the example of political duels. It was also asserted, that the wound of which the Duke died was not inflicted by Lord Mohun, but by Macartney; and every means was used to propagate this belief.
So long as the spirit of social endeavour kindled by men like Ram Mohun Roy and Keshab Chunder Sen and Mahadev Govind Ranade is kept alive, even though by much lesser men, we may well hope that the present wave of revolt will ultimately spend itself on the dead shore of a factious and artificial reaction, incompatible with the purpose to which their own best efforts were devoted, of bringing the social life of India into harmony with Western civilization.
And where does she live?" "On the Halifax road, some miles from the Rowanty." "In the lines of the enemy, then?" "Something like it." "Humph!" "Don't disturb yourself about that, Surry. I have sent out a scouting party who are clearing the country. Their pickets are back to Reams's by this time, and there is little danger." "At all events, we'll share any, Mohun. Forward!"
"Francis will not be ruined if he goes on; he will be rescued if he goes on. I repent of having spoken and thought unkindly of the Lord Mohun when he was here in the past year. He is full of much kindness and good; and 'tis my belief that we shall bring him to better things. He is letting poor Frank win his money back again.

Thank the Lord, no one was under the rock -horses even out at work.
I turned my head, and saw Mohun, in front of about fifty cavalrymen, among whom I recognized Nighthawk. In an instant I was at Mohun's side. "You are going to charge!" I said. "And die, Surry! A gentleman gives his word but once!" And, following Mordaunt with long leaps, Mohun and his horsemen burst upon the enemy. Then was presented a spectacle which made the two armies hold their breath.
I vouch for him; I am proud of his regard. Think well of him, or badly of me too! Are you satisfied?" Mohun smiled sadly. "I knew all that," he said. "Do you think I can not read men, Surry? Long since I gave you in my heart the name of friend, and I knew that you had done as much toward me. Come, then! Go to my camp with me; in the evening we will take a ride.
