Fred Pemberton did not wish to see his nearest friends; but after he had been in the company some ten days, just as the boys had been dismissed from the forenoon drill, he discovered at a distance the patriarchal form of his father. "My pipe's out, Tom," said Fred, as he rushed into the casemate where a group of his companions were resting from the fatigues of the morning.
Then he struck a hand-bell beside him, and his summons was answered by a small short-skirted handmaiden who had waited table. "Pipe's out, my dear," he announced. "An' while you're about it you may mix us another glassful apiece." "Not for me, thank 'ee," said Captain Cai. "An' not for him, neither," said the girl.
"'Ow!" said Copper, stuffing his left hand in his mouth. "So long since I've smoked I've burned my 'and an' the pipe's dropped too. No objection to my movin' down to fetch it, is there Sir?"
"I asked that question: he was doing well when my friend left; somehow or another no vital part was injured, and he has had many presents made him for his gallant conduct, and the sergeant was well rewarded also. Well, my pipe's out, and it's not far from midnight; I should think we may just as well try for a little sleep, Tom, for perhaps we may not get any for some time to come."
So also I, my liquid nectar sending, the Muses' gift, the sweet fruit of my soul, to men that are winners in the games at Pytho or Olympia make holy offering. Happy is he whom good report encompasseth; now on one man, now on another doth the Grace that quickeneth look favourably, and tune for him the lyre and the pipe's stops of music manifold.
