Hubbard, a new officer from D Battery, who before getting his commission had been a signalling sergeant, filled Wilde's shoes. I had ridden into Templeux la Fosse to conduct a polite argument with the officer of a Division newly arrived from Palestine on the matter of watering arrangements.
I have known men come to London full of bright prospects and seen them complete wrecks in a few months through a habit of answering letters. He too knew how to keep our elders in their place, and his method was plainly the more successful for Henley had been dismissed.

She only wished, and longed, and even prayed that she might have the strength to become Denis Wilde's wife; that she might taste once more of peace, if not of joy; and yet all her longings and all her prayers only made her realize the more how utterly the thing was beyond her power.
