Lieut. Ballard's heroic machine gun platoon a few days later was also relieved, by Lieut. O'Callaghan's platoon. So ended the fall campaign on the famous Kodish front.
Two platoons of Couriers du Bois, the well trained Russian White Guards under French tutelage, and those same Royal Marines that had been with him the first time Kodish was taken in the bloody fight in the fall. And Lt. Ballard's gallant platoon of machine gun men came to relieve the first "M. G." platoon and to join the drive. They had an old score to settle with the Bolos, too.
Walsingham's house, in Seething Lane, under the patronage of her Grace, and you show yourself freely at court. You have proceeded so far, under fear of Mr. Ballard's arrest, as to provide one of your company with clothes and necessaries that can enable him to go to court; and it was your intention, as well as his, that he should take opportunity to kill her Grace.
In their place came a company of the Russian Officers' Training Corps. On September 23rd Seletskoe was again occupied and the Yanks began improving its defenses, taking much satisfaction in the arrival from Archangel of Lieut. Ballard's American machine gun platoon. Within two days also their ranks were greatly strengthened by the arrival of Lieut.
"Open both doors and take it carefully. It will be pleasanter here in the shade." The young men sprang to do her bidding, and the small table was borne out under the trees, the lads enumerating with joy the articles of Mary Ballard's simple menu. "Hot biscuits and honey! My golly! Won't we wish for this in about two months from now?" said Richard.
Floud and the other was quite astonishingly to myself, the name preceded by "Colonel." "That's Jen' Ballard's stationery!" cried Mrs. Belknap-Jackson. "Trust her not to lose one second in getting busy!" "But he mustn't answer the door that way," exclaimed her husband as I handed Mrs. Effie her note. They were indeed both from my acquaintance of the night before.
"And a father's counsel is not to be lightly disposed of." "I have no intention of doing so, father." "No, no. But wait. You have been loitering the day at Mr. Ballard's? Yes." "I have nothing else to do, father, and " Peter Junior's smile again came to the rescue.
Thus, when times grew hard under the stress of the Civil War, and the works of art representing many hours of Bertrand Ballard's keenest effort lay in his studio unpurchased, and even carefully created portraits, ordered and painstakingly painted, were left on his hands, unclaimed and unpaid for, he quietly turned his attention to his garden, saying, "People can live without pictures, but they must eat."
Nothing was said by the older ones of what might be in the future for those gallant youths yes, and for the few men of greater years with them as they wound out of sight. It was better so. Bobby fell asleep in Mary Ballard's arms as they drove back, and a bright tear fell from her wide-open, far-seeing eyes down on his baby cheek.
It's one o' the oldest places in the valley, I'm thinkin'. D'ye mind the old openin' ye can see in the side-hill when ye're goin' up by Tom Ballard's to the Dunmore road?" "Yes, that's where Uncle Billy worked when he was a miner." "Did he, thin! Well, that's where they wint in. It's a long way from here though, I'm thinkin'." "Awful strong wind goin' in there, ain't they?"
