The band of red lying about her neck forced forward her golden tresses, throwing them about her brow so that they stood out round her face in a changeful aureole of fine-spun gold.

We are no Mountain Rifles. We are the Raccoon Roughs." And Raccoon Roughs they continued through all the war, Gordon's fine-spun name being never heard of again.
