We greatly regret to learn, through the former source, that yesterday evening Lord Westerham, the last of the six special Service officers attached to General French's staff, was either killed or captured in a gallant attempt to carry despatches containing an accurate account of the situation up to date from Reading to Windsor, whence it was to be transmitted by the underground telephone cable to His Majesty at Buckingham Palace."
In other words, if you do save the world you'll probably have to pay pretty stiffly for doing it. They're excellent business people in Lancashire, you know." "I don't quite see the logic of that, Lord Westerham," replied Mr Parmenter a little testily. "If we can put this business through, the dollars couldn't be much better used, and if we can't they won't be much use to me or anyone else.
"He will," said Westerham, taking her hand. "He was wrong-headed on that particular subject, but he was a brave man, and a genius. I don't think there's any doubt about that." "It's good of you to say so," said Norah. "Poor John! With all his learning and genius to come to that "
The fact is, that, as they were walking up that steep hill which lies about three miles from Oakhurst, on the Westerham road, Lady Maria Esmond, leaning on her fond youth's arm, and indeed very much in love with him, had warbled into his ear the most sentimental vows, protests, and expressions of affection. As she grew fonder, he grew colder.

He then went with his father to Flanders to study the profession of an officer amid active warfare; and, thus engaged, seven years soon passed.
She bathed her distorted face, powdered it, and tried to think that the servants, should they see her, would notice nothing. Where had he gone? For no goal within his parish would a hired carriage be needed. He had gone to Sevenoaks or to the station. Perhaps he had gone to Westerham there was a convent there, a Protestant sisterhood.
Oh, there's Lord Westerham on the terrace! Come for lunch, I suppose. He's a very great man here, you know.
"By that time," Cecil repeated, "something may have happened." His Grace the Duke of Westerham stepped forward from the hearthrug, in the middle of which he had been standing, and held out both his hands. His lips were parted in a smile, and there was a twinkle in his eyes. "My dear Andrew," he exclaimed, "it is delightful to see you.
"You'll excuse my saying so, but it seems hardly a question for a sort of explosion like that. I have been asking you a question which, as you might have seen, concerns me rather closely." Lord Westerham sobered down at once, although his voice was still somewhat tremulous with suppressed laughter when he said: "My dear chap, I'm very sorry.
However, this may be due to the fact that the tenant of an adjoining cottage is required by the terms of his lease to keep the post in good repair, a stipulation, no doubt, to which we owe its existence. In Westerham, a few miles farther on, we saw the vicarage where Gen. Wolfe, the hero of Quebec, was born.
