He slowed down, seeing me as yet unassaulted. "Sir?" he said. "Isn't there a case of that whisky left somewhere, Beale?" I had struck the right note.

He hesitated, then without a word went into the house.
But the exquisitely chiselled face, the majestic gait, the elastic step the beauty and glory of youth, unshaken because unassaulted by death and sorrow where were they?
Hoopdriver retired, unassaulted, in almost sobbing dignity. So here is the world with us again, and our sentimental excursion is over.
