"But, uncle," said Amy Warrener, with the delightful freshness of fifteen, "how could you see anybody in Buckingham Palace road the other day, when you haven't been out of the house for months?" "How?" said he, not a whit abashed. "How could I see him? I don't know, but I tell you I did see him. With my eyes, of course." He lost his temper, however, after all.
Pardon me for detaining you, but I am very anxious. My husband is Captain Rayner, of Fort Warrener." "No infantry have been sent, madame, I have reason to know; at least, none from Warrener." And with that he hurriedly bowed and left her. The next moment, flask in hand, he was crossing the storm-swept platform and making his way to the head of the train. "I believe he is an officer," said Mrs.
Not only had their feet been muffled with the leather shoes, but cloths, of which there were plenty in the village, had been wound round them, until their footfalls would, even on the hardest road, have been noiseless. Then Major Warrener led the way to the spot where ten men had been at work during the afternoon.
Rayner, of Fort Warrener. May we not hope to see you there?" A deep flush rose to his forehead, suffusing his cheeks, and passed as quickly away. His mouth twitched and trembled. Gazing at him in surprise and trouble, Nellie Travers saw that his face was full of pain and was turning white again.
The enemy in scattered bodies were in full flight, and the cavalry, dashing through them, were cutting them down, or emptying their revolvers among them. "Make for the village," Major Warrener said. "Gallop!" At full speed the troop dashed across the plain to the village, whose gate they reached just as a large body of the fugitives were arriving.
"Whom have I the pleasure of seeing, for at present your appearance is admirably correct as that of two Sepoys?" "Our name is Warrener," Ned said; "we are brothers. I have just been gazetted to the Sixty-fourth; my brother is a midshipman.
There are two bridges across it, and over them the exulting mutineers were for weeks to pass into the city not altogether unpunished, for our guns carried that far, and were sometimes able to inflict a heavy loss upon them as they passed, with music playing and flags flying, into the town. "A glorious city!" Ned Warrener said, as they looked down upon it.
Major Warrener, on leaving, handed the ranee a protection order signed by the general, to show to any British troops who might be passing, and told her that her name would be sent in with the list of those who had acted kindly to British fugitives, all of whom afterward received honors and rewards in the shape of the lands of those who had joined the mutineers.
Kate said quietly. Major Warrener kissed his daughter and niece tenderly. "I have a pair of small double-barreled pistols; you shall each have one," he answered with a deep sigh. That afternoon the young Warreners and their cousin went out for a walk, and, fixing a piece of paper against a tree, practiced pistol shooting for an hour.
Major Warrener rode at the head of the squadron, with Captain Kent, who commanded the first troop, by his side, and behind them came two native guides well acquainted with the country.
