The sentry took no notice of the horn. The men of the Wessex Fusiliers are determined and well-disciplined fellows. Willie Thornton's orders mattered to that sentry. Lord Ramelton's did not. Nor did the chauffeur's horn. Willie Thornton stepped up to the window of the car. He noticed as he did so that an earl's coronet surmounting the letter R was painted on the door.
Lord Ramelton's appearance, his voice, and the coronet on the panel, all taken together, were convincing evidence that he was not one of "these fellows," and might safely be allowed to pass. Unfortunately there was something in the car which Willie did not in the least expect to find there. In the front of the tonneau was a large packing-case.
Willie was pleasantly conscious that he had done nothing except obey his orders. He saluted smartly. "There's a packing-case in the car, sir," he said, "and it ought to be examined." The General looked into Lord Ramelton's car and saw the packing-case. He could scarcely deny that it might very easily contain cartridges, that it was indeed exactly the sort of case which should be opened.
