She, too, had attained a good deal of celebrity in the musical-comedy world was to be one of the features of the cast. She'd come up from the ranks of the chorus. She'd been one of the ponies, years ago, in some of George M. Cohan's productions, and she was still just a chorus-girl. But a chorus-girl raised to the third, or fourth, or, if you like, the nth power.
Moslem fanaticism suddenly flashed into flame. On the nth of June a street brawl between a Moslem and a Maltese led to a fierce rising. The "true believers" attacked the houses of the Europeans, secured a great quantity of loot, and killed about fifty of them, including men from the British squadron.
But to pass through one of them, the barring current struck you like a wall, with darting sparks when it was touched. As Wolfgar had said, we had access to the upper balcony; the waist-high rail there, with its needle-points of electrodes, sent up a visible stream of the Nth Electrons a dull glow by daylight; at night a riot of colors and snapping sparks.
Some were old hands men from the First and Second Battalions, who had been home wounded, and had now been sent out to leaven "K ." Others were Special Reservists from the Third Battalion. These had been at the Dépôt for a long time, and some of them stood badly in need of a little active service. Others, again, were new hands altogether the product of "K to the nth."
John Winton': it's a pretty name as names go, but it isn't as strong as he is. He is an 'industry colonel, isn't he? He looks it." The Bostonian avenged himself at Winton's expense for the unwelcome interruption. "So much for your woman's intuition," he laughed. "Speaking of idlers, there is your man to the dotting of the 'i'; a dilettante raised to the nth power."
If the universe dissolves into the original chaos, there appeared to them to be no reason why the second chaos should produce a world differing in the least respect from its predecessor. The nth cycle would be indeed numerically distinct from the first, but otherwise would be identical with it, and no man could possibly discover the number of the cycle in which he was living.
In England he had become such an incorrigible that the regimental officers decided to get rid of the man. Major M hearing the case being discussed by some fellow officers, said, "Let me have a try at him" and with relief they agreed to his transfer to the Nth. In due time the battalion went to France, and like all others in the first division, took part in the second battle of Ypres.
The Judge felt moved to a most unusual sensation, as if he were a loosened bowstring beside this twanging, taut intensity. He felt slightly dismayed to have his unspoken principles carried to this nth power.
Well, we shall see, D.V., we shall see!! One thing is certain: we must work up our preparations to the nth degree of perfection: the impossible can only be overborne by the unprecedented; i.e., by an original method or idea. 10th April, 1915. S.S. "Arcadian." Lemnos. Cast anchor at 7 a.m.
In his little book called The Nth Foot In War, Lieutenant M. B. Stewart says of them: "The negro troops were in a high good humor. They had made the charge of the day; they had fought with a dash and vigor which forever established their reputation as fighters, and which would carry them down in the pages of history.
