In the middle ages, books tell us, they worshipped the knights errant. They are always on the winning side, the cunning little beauties. The parsons are the workers now-a-days or rather, all the world expects them to be so. They have the game in their own hands, if they did but know how to play it. Lancelot stood still, sulking over many thoughts.

Parsons' work which has nothing to do with the accidental the simple fact that that work forms the richest illustration of the English landscape that is offered us to-day.

Garvace joined his effort to Morrison's. Then the heart of Polly leapt and the world blazed up to wonder and splendour. Parsons disappeared behind the partition for a moment and reappeared instantly, gripping a thin cylinder of rolled huckaback. With this he smote at Morrison's head. Morrison's head ducked under the resounding impact, but he clung on and so did Mr. Garvace.
"Very good; but how, if you have no parsons, will you perform the marriage ceremony?" "That shall be a natural operation of government. The voters having given their suffrages, you shall determine and declare with whom the majority lies, and give a certificate to that effect.

The troops knew nothing of the country; the Dervishes understood it thoroughly. The high ground gave at least advantage of view. Colonel Parsons resolved to occupy it.
