Having seen the bodies laid by the graves, the corporal bent over the form of the dead officer, and removed from his breast that small piece of paper, which was always pinned to the blanket to state the man's identity: in this case it happened to be a government envelope, marked "On His Majesty's Service." The corporal handed it to Monty.
Dinner was announced before Monty could utter another word, and as she led him over to Barbara she said, "Behold a generous hostess who gives up the best man in the crowd so that he and some one else may have a happy time. I leave it to you, Barbara, if that isn't the test of friendship." For a moment the two riveted their eyes on the floor. Then the humor of the situation came to Monty.
But I do know that in the problem at hand I want your actions to be governed by reason, not passion. Human life is not for any man to sacrifice unless in self-defense or in protecting those dependent upon him. What Stillwell and you hinted makes me afraid of Nels and Nick Steele and Monty. Cannot they be controlled? I want to feel that they will not go gunning for Don Carlos's men.
He'd jump at the chance to plug you now, an' then holler about opposition to the law. Cool down, son; it'll all come right." Suddenly Madeline was transfixed by a terrible sound. Her startled glance shifted from the anxious group round Stewart to see that Monty Price had leaped off the porch. He crouched down with his bands below his hips, where the big guns swung.
It was sunset, as we steamed out of Malta; and now, with the sky flushed and the air rose-tinted, we began to slip gently out of the harbour, amid cheers and handwavings from every ship that we passed. We were picking our course between the ships, when Monty plucked my sleeve, and, pointing to a home-bound liner, murmured: "Beauty, Rupert." I looked, and saw what he meant.
"I hope you won't misunderstand me," he said. "But is it too late to change my place at the table?" "It isn't conventional, I know, Monty. Society's chief aim is to separate engaged couples at dinner," said Mrs. Dan with a laugh. "It would be positively compromising if a man and his wife sat together."
"Lord Montdidier," he said, mispronouncing the word astonishingly, "this is the furthest limit of my kingdom yet. Kindly be welcome!" "Your kingdom?" said Monty, shaking hands, but not quite accepting the position of blood-equal.
And, when the seven bodies had been removed in their stretchers from the waggon and laid in a line upon the road, the corporal of the Burial Party saluted Monty, and said: "One's an officer, sir. Will you take him first?" "I'll go in front," answered Monty. "Then the seven bodies, one after another, the officer's body leading. Feet first, of course." "Very good, sir."
'It went to my heart, Monty, to leave those two poor girls in that dreadful place. This world's very unfair somehow, said Mrs. Jones, as she and her husband entered their own handsome house. 'And yet you were not too pleased at my offer about the furniture, and wanted to make me force them to sell it outright, her husband reminded her.
You must come back to England and help me spend a bit." Monty had recovered a little his power of speech. He leaned over his spade and smiled benignly at his visitor. "There was a Trentham in the Guards," he said slowly, "the Honourable George Trentham, you know, one of poor Abercrombie's sons, but I thought he was dead.
