The Moslem was equally furious with the equality treatment, for he was no longer top-dog. The most remarkable work of the Austrian Government gave perhaps the most offence. It was the medical. The Bosniak, in appearance, is often a giant. But his appearance is deceptive.
Saxham's laugh is ugly to hear. "Do you think that Lord Beauvayse would wind up as top-dog if it came to a struggle between us?" "It must not come to a struggle, Saxham," says the Chaplain, very pale. "We we are under Martial Law. He is your superior officer."
Here, owing to the rugged nature of the country devoid of all signs of civilisation a barren, sandy waste it was necessary to practise all the cunning and craft of the savage scout. Therefore those who had from boyhood been trained in scouting and scoutcraft came out top-dog. And why? because here we were working against men who were born scouts.
Yet the British soldier is as chivalrous as he is brave. He speaks terrible words about what he will do to his foes, but when they are beaten and in his power he can never carry it through. This was very striking when you consider that until quite recently the German was 'top-dog' and how much our men had suffered at his hands.
"But," said Michael, "how about Daddy's idea? He loved it." "I loved it," said Anthony, "but I've given it up." They knew that this was defeat, for Michael was top-dog. And it was also victory. They had lost Nicholas, or thought they had lost Nicholas, by opposing him. But Michael and Michael's affection they would have always. Besides, Anthony hadn't given up his idea.
You can't answer, and nor can't I; only at times I do think, notwithstanding all my Christian teachings and hundreds and hundreds of your father's sermons, that the devil, he's top-dog here. And as for that there foreign woman whose letter you've read to me, she's his housemaid. Not but what I'm sure it will all come right at last," she added, with an attempt at cheerfulness.
It was a remarkable instance of the reversal of positions. The erstwhile van-man was now the top-dog and he did not hesitate to extract endless amusement and delight from ordering the prisoners, among whom was his former employer, to despicable duties and harassing them right and left. I had one bout with this impertinent little bounder which I do not think he will ever forget.
"My check might be bigger, I admit; but I've figured over it, and I think I have an easier time than you agitators. I'm top-dog, and I expect to stay on top." "Well, Cotton, on that view of life, I don't wonder you get drunk now and then. A dog-fight, with no faith or humanity anywhere! Don't think I'm sneering at you I'm talking out of my heart to you.
He has never been pitied in his life. He has always been top-dog bright, light, strong, unassailable. And more, he doesn't deserve pity. And it's my fault... and yours, Evan." She abruptly thrust Evan's hand away. "And every act, every permitted touch of you, does make him pitiable. Don't you see how tangled it is for me? And then there is my own pride.
To tell the truth, many of us felt a little jealous that when, after two years of punishment, we had at last become top-dog, we should be called upon to share the glory of victory with soldiers of the eleventh hour. We believed that we were entirely capable of finishing the job without further aid.
