"I think with that story we could keep to the plan of going up through Ratisbon. It would be immensely shorter, and the story would be more probable than that we should make such a big detour to get home." "Yes, I should think that would do well," Ritzer said, "and will shorten the way by two hundred miles.
The others laughed. "It looks a tremendous business, anyhow, Drummond, and I should never think of attempting it by myself," Ritzer said; "but if you assure me that you think it will be possible, I am ready to try it." "I think that there is every chance of success, Ritzer. I really do not see why it should fail.
I hope you both smoke." Stauffen and his companion, whose name was Ritzer, both did so. "I am glad of that," Fergus said. "I think it is very cheery and sociable when everyone smokes, but certainly when only two out of three do, it looks somehow as if the one who does not is left out in the cold.
"I don't think I shall be able to go very far," Ritzer said. "These boots are a great deal too large for me, and are chafing my feet horribly. The road is good and level; and I was thinking, just now, of taking them off and carrying them." "That would be the best way, by far," Fergus said.
It was not long before he engaged Stauffen and Ritzer in conversation. "You have Major Drummond in with you, have you not?" "Yes," Stauffen said shortly. "Who is the young fellow, do you know him?" "Yes, he first joined our regiment as junior cornet. It was less than two years and a half ago.
"I was never less so, Ritzer;" and he then gave them an account of the manner in which Fergus had obtained his promotion. The two officers were silent when Ronsfeldt concluded. "We have made fools of ourselves," Stauffen said at last, "and we must apologize, Ritzer." "Certainly we must," the other agreed heartily.
