The shock of his discovery was still upon him. "You'll give me thirty in a hundred, Julian," Lord Shervinton called out cheerfully. "And shut that door as soon as you can, there's a good fellow. There's a most confounded draught."
Still, her canteen is no place for such as you. You shall stay with her, but only till we can send you on to one of the troopships with female nurses on board." Having thus decided, Shervinton himself escorted Mariquita to Mother Charcoal's, and then rode on to headquarters.
"Stenson," the Oxonian observed, "is beginning to show signs of strain." "Why not?" Lord Shervinton pointed out. "He came into office full of the most wonderful enthusiasm. His speeches rang through the world like a clarion note. He converted waverers. He lit fires which still burn. But he is a man of movement. This present stagnation is terribly irksome to him.
Even after she had left the room, the atmosphere which she had created seemed to linger behind her. "I have never rightly understood Miss Abbeway," the Bishop declared. "She is a most extraordinarily brilliant young woman." Lord Shervinton assented. "To-night you have Catherine Abbeway," he expounded, "as she might have been but for these queer, alternating crazes of hers art and socialism.
"You are the very fellow to help me, Shervinton," and McKay, taking the provost-marshal aside, told him his errand. "I firmly believe every second man here is a spy, or would be if he had the pluck." "Are any of them, do you think, in communication with the Russians?" "Lots. They come and go through the lines, I believe, as they please." "I wish I could find a few fellows of this sort."
He has betrayed him into the Russians' hands." "This is very important intelligence. What you say shall be verified at once. See to the prisoners, one of you, and let some one come with me to Joe's shop." Major Shervinton made short work of Benito. "Look here, my fine fellow, you had better make a clean breast of it all. What have you done with Mr. McKay?"

"His argument was that Germany alone, of all the nations in the world, possessed an extra quality or an extra sense I forget which he called it the sense of discipline. It's born in their blood.
"Very much," she assured him. "Still, I think that if you do not mind, I will go to bed. I am troubled with a very rare attack of nerves. Drink your whisky and soda, and then will you take me into the drawing-room?" He played with his tumbler thoughtfully. His first impulse was to drop it. Intervention, however, was at hand. The door opened, and the Princess entered with Lord Shervinton.
As for you," he turned to Benito, "I will have you removed to the Balaclava hospital. You will be better looked after there, and we shall have you under our hands when required. Your accomplice, the commander-in-chief will deal with, I trust, very summarily; we have overwhelming proofs of his guilt." Major Shervinton returned to his office, where the prisoners anxiously awaited his verdict.
"Take Joe away, and put a double sentry over him. I shall ride over to headquarters to report the whole case." "Oh, good, kind, beneficent sir," began Joe, wringing his hands, "spare me! There no word of truth in all this. I done nothing, I swear. I unjustly accused. "March him out," said Shervinton. "Such vermin as you must be ruthlessly destroyed.
