It was a little attack, but carried out with admirable precision and practically without loss, and every credit must be given to General Rees for the way he handled the problem. As this operation was carried out in full view of all the surrounding country it attracted considerable attention, and congratulations soon poured in from all sides.
He opened the door and they passed out of the room, Phipps stumbling a little, as though blinded by the unexpected sunshine which streamed through the skylight in the hall. From the shadows beyond, Grant came suddenly into evidence. "Breakfast is served in the dining room," he announced respectfully. A flickering anger seemed suddenly to blaze up in Stanley Rees.
Rees read the volume, and, instead of admitting that he had been mistaken, he had the impertinence to tell Mrs. Bonner that her father's book was full of "sophism" and the "merest puerilities," and ended by expressing his "simple contempt." It was impertinence on Mr. Rees's part, in both senses of the word, for the merit of Mr. Bradlaugh's writing was not the point in consideration.
One would have imagined that Stanley Rees had been one of his dearest friends, instead of a young man whom he rather disliked. "Come in. Inspector," he invited. "Come in. Glad to see you. Any news?" "None whatever, my lord," was the laconic reply. Dredlinton's face fell. He looked at his visitor, speechless for a moment.
"We arrived at Camp Roosevelt a few minutes after eleven and went immediately to where Rees had been carried. Examination showed that he had been dead probably fifteen minutes. He had been unconscious since nine-thirty. Two fellow-Mormons sat with the body the rest of the night.
Those were hard times after my good man left me, master Heywood. But the cream will to the top, and there is my son now who but he in kitchen and hall? Well, of all places in the mortal world, that Raglan passes! 'They tell strange things of the stables there, mistress Rees: know you aught of them? 'Strange things, master? They tell nought but good of the stables that tell the truth.
An army very slowly organized, against the wishes of the emperor, the bishops, and the Catholic party took the field, and made a feeble demonstration upon Rheinberg and upon Rees entirely without result and then disbanded itself ingloriously. Meantime the admiral had withdrawn from German territory, and was amusing himself with a variety of blows aimed at vital points of the republic.
Maurice seized both Emmerich and Rees, and placed garrisons within them, besides occupying Goch, Kranenburg, Gennip, and various places in the County of Mark. This closed the amicable campaign. Spinola established himself and his forces near Wesel. The Prince encamped near Rees. The two armies were within two hours' march of each other.
In 1137 he died, and they said of him that he had shown his people what they ought to do, and that he had given them strength to do it. The work of Griffith ap Conan and Griffith ap Rees was this: they set bounds to the Norman Conquest, and saved Deheubarth and Gwynedd from the stern rule of the alien.
The only thing that cheered Rees up as he was wheeled away was the voice of Pinker crying, "Jer want white flowers on yer coffin? We'll see to the brass 'andles!" From Pinker, a little boy from the Mile End Road, they will stand anything. "I ain't no skivvy," he protests all the time, but every little odd job gets done.
