Tossed like a plaything on the Sands at that part named the Shingles off Margate, the Demerara soon began to break up, and the helpless crew did as those of the Fusilier had done and were still doing they signalled for aid. But it seemed a forlorn resource.
The overseer looked at the Señor, ready to approve whatever he should decide. Bras-Coupé's intrepid audacity took the Spaniard's heart by irresistible assault. "I leave it entirely with Señor Fusilier," he said. "But he is not my master; he has no right " "Silence!" And she was silent; and so, sometimes, is fire in the wall.
After seeing the troops I motored to Mex Camp and inspected the 86th and 87th Infantry Brigades. There was a strong wind blowing which tried to spoil the show, but could not that Infantry was too superb! Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon; not one of them had the handling of legionaries like these. The Fusilier Brigade were the heavier. If we don't win, I won't be able to put it on the men.
At a kind of counter a girl in a W.A.A.C. uniform was serving out tickets of one sort and another, and presently the two of them were before her. For a few francs one got tickets for lunch, dinner, bed, a bath, and whatever else one wanted, but Peter had no French money. The Fusilier bought him the first two, however, and together they forced their way out into the great lounge.
'You need not walk fast, said a Boer in excellent English; 'take your time. Then another, seeing me hatless in the downpour, threw me a soldier's cap one of the Irish Fusilier caps, taken, probably, near Ladysmith. So they were not cruel men, these enemy. That was a great surprise to me, for I had read much of the literature of this land of lies, and fully expected every hardship and indignity.
Entering the station gates, the now familiar initials appearing on a row of offices before them to the left, Peter's companion demanded the train to Albert. "Two-thirty a.m., change at Amiens, sir," said a clerk in uniform within, and the Fusilier passed on. "What time is the Rouen train?" asked Peter in his turn, and was told 9.30 p.m. "You're in luck, padre," said the other.
Agricola Fusilier," answered Joseph in the same tone, his heart leaping inexplicably as he met her glance. With an angry flush she looked quickly around, scrutinized the old man in an instantaneous, thorough way, and then glanced back at the apothecary again, as if asking him to fulfil her request the quicker. He hesitated, in doubt as to her meaning. "Wrap it yonder," she almost whispered.
"Professor Frowenfeld," said Agricola, pointing with his ugly staff, "I demand of you, as a keeper of a white man's pharmacy, to turn that negro out." "Citizen Fusilier!" exclaimed the apothecary; "Mister Grandis " He felt as though no price would be too dear at that moment to pay for the presence of the other Honoré.
Midway between the times of Lufki-Humma and those of her proud descendant, Agricola Fusilier, fifty-two years lying on either side, were the days of Pierre Rigaut, the magnificent, the "Grand Marquis," the Governor, De Vaudreuil. He was the Solomon of Louisiana. For splendor, however, not for wisdom. Those were the gala days of license, extravagance and pomp.
Here was Tracy borne away to field hospital leaving Avendano and McStea groveling in anguish under the wheels, and brave Converse and young Willie Calder, hot-headed Fusilier and dear madcap Jules St. Ange lying near them out of pain forever.
