"I'm going with Stewart over to Jeanie Mac Dougal Morrison's house. It's really dreadfully important. You know why, father. I'll tell you all about it later. Come, Stewart! We must hurry!" Young Mr. Daunt was near the door. He opened it for her.
Relentless and inflexible the voice went on. "The rules of war, as applied to a non-commissioned officer, must also govern his superiors. As Sergeant Dudley deserved his bullet you merit yours." His eyes dropped from Morrison's face and he looked up at Harris. "A bad witness for your client, Lieutenant," he said grimly, as he nodded his head towards Uncle Billy. "You ought to study law!
