A very large and very informal committee took charge of the business of the fight, and what was alluded to as "a friendly boxing contest between Bully Harberth of the Fifth and de Warrenne late Funky " was arranged for the following Saturday afternoon. Those who had been loudest in dubbing him Funky Warrenne were quickest in finding explanations of his curious conduct and explained it well away.
When Damocles de Warrenne awoke, he was within a few hundred yards of the nearly dry River Helnuddi, where, failing occasional pools, the traveller can always procure water by digging and patiently awaiting the slow formation of a little puddle at the bottom of the hole. For a minute he halted.
"Then, my lady, leave the place simply in trust for Hubert, in case ought happen to you. Again I say Hubert will return." "What Drogo takes charge of, he will keep." "Then confer with the neighbouring gentry, with Earl Warrenne and others, and ask their advice how to secure the property for the true heir." "It is wisely thought, and shall be done," she replied.
I do not forget Warrenne, too good for the men he lived with, a David in our camp of Kedar always going on straight in the path he thought right though ever and anon his hot Irish blood would chafe fiercely under the curb self-imposed and laboring incessantly, with all gentleness, to induce others to follow; a Launcelot in his devotion to womankind; a Galahad in purity of thought and purpose.
She told him she felt it very much on her mind to have all things in order, in case of sudden death, such as had befallen her dear lord, Sir Nicholas: and therefore had arranged to go on the morrow to Lewes, to see Earl Warrenne of Lewes Castle, with whom she would take advice how to secure Walderne Castle and its estates for Hubert in the event of his return.
There, he had, almost daily, taken upon his knee, shoulder, saddle, or dog-cart, the chubby son of his polo and pig-sticking exemplar, Colonel Matthew Devon de Warrenne. The sentry had a dim idea that he had seen the Major somewhere before.
There he hung in triumph just within the front door, fluttering and swaying a little on his pins whenever a draught came in; and there stood Lawrence Frith, freshly aware of him, and unable to repress the exclamation, 'I say! isn't he a guy? 'Sir Guy de Warrenne, began Emily composedly; 'don't you see his coat of arms? "chequy argent and azure."
That night Damocles de Warrenne, ill, incoherent, and delirious, passed in a cell, on a charge of drunk and disorderly and disgracing the Queen's uniform. Mr. Levi Solomonson had not disgraced it, of course.
The Wise thank God for Work and for Sleep and pay large premia of the former as Insurance in the latter. To Damocles de Warrenne to whom the name "Trooper Matthewson" now seemed the only one he had ever had the craved necessity of life and sanity was work, occupation, mental and physical labour.
"Yes," said Captain Delorme, as the stricken man fell, "if he parries outward the point goes under, if he anticipates a feint it comes straight in, and if he parries a lunge-and-feint-under, he gets feint-over before he can come up. I have never seen Stukeley miss when once he rests on the hilt. Exit de Warrenne and Hell the worse for it " and the boy awoke.
