Nor had I ever seen her in such a bright and happy spirit, as though the nearness to the long sought goal was changing her every moment, under my very eyes, into a lovelier and more radiant being than ever had trod this war-scarred world.
Prettilove is an inoffensive little rabbit of a man. Marigold might sit for the model of a war-scarred mercenary of the middle ages, and when he called a man a liar he did it with accentuaton and vehemence. No wonder Prettilove jumped.
Reckless adventurers, toiling fishermen, admirals as wise and brave as the world has ever known, have waited upon the signs of his westerly sky. Fleets of victorious ships have hung upon his breath. He has tossed in his hand squadrons of war-scarred three-deckers, and shredded out in mere sport the bunting of flags hallowed in the traditions of honour and glory.
Retribution was carved large and deep on every hard-set Scottish face; it spoke in silent eloquence in the grip of each hard, browned hand on rifle barrels; it found a mute echo in each knitted brow, and leapt to life in every deep-drawn breath; it sparkled in each tear that rolled unheeded and unchecked down war-scarred cheeks, and thundered in the echo of the men's tread across the veldt, right up to Cronje's lines, as they marched campwards.
We are no Mountain Rifles. We are the Raccoon Roughs." And Raccoon Roughs they continued through all the war, Gordon's fine-spun name being never heard of again. The feeble remnant of the war-scarred company which was mustered out at Appomattox was still known as Raccoon Roughs. Who would have them, since Governor Brown would not, was now the question.
Charlie's eyes turned slowly from the contemplation of his brother's war-scarred features. "I guess he deserved it all right," he said thoughtfully. Helen protested indignantly. "Deserved it? My word, he deserved anything," she cried. Then her indignation merged again into her usual laughter. "Say," she went on. "I I don't believe you're a bit glad, a bit thankful to Bill.
"That is all very well, O'Grady," Ryan laughed, "but it is a question of the pot calling the kettle black; only in this case the pot is a good deal blacker than the kettle. There may be some excuse for a subaltern like me, but none for a war-scarred veteran like yourself." "Dick will do very well, O'Grady," Terence said.
Later in the year we hear again from her son in the army, and this time the news comes in a chaplain's letter from the terrible field of Gettysburg. He writes: GETTYSBURG, PA., Saturday, July 11, 9.30 P. M. MRS. H. B. STOWE: Dear Madam, Among the thousands of wounded and dying men on this war-scarred field, I have just met with your son, Captain Stowe.
He leads the escort on a black horse, a fine figure in military coat and white trousers, his cocked hat in hand, a smile lighting his face. The count receives him and speaks our welcome. President Monroe looks down the war-scarred line a moment. His eyes fill with tears, and then he speaks to us.
One had the misfortune to be cremated by his family a great loss to my Council. But the others are now in China, at our headquarters. They are labouring day and night to bring this war-scarred world under the sceptre of an Eastern Emperor." "Faugh!" cried Stuart. "The whole of that war-scarred world will stand armed before you!" "We realise that, doctor; therefore we are prepared for it.
