We'd heard of him before from Goring and the other troopers; but he'd been on duty in another district, and hadn't come in our way. One evening we were all sitting smoking and yarning in the big room of the hotel, and Jim, for a wonder we'd been washing up when we saw one of the camp gentlemen come in, and a strange officer of police with him.
She revived the friendly relations which she had never ceased to cherish with England, Spain, and the Low Countries. Her chief prop, the centre and interposer of her intrigues, was Lord Goring, our ambassador at the French Court; who, like his ill-starred master, and more especially his royal mistress, belonged to the Spanish party.
At last the great test of all came could she play or could she not? She had spoken often of her passionate love for music. Miss Goring took her into the drawing room, away from the other girls. "I am not supposed to be musical," she said, "but I think I know music when I hear it. If you have talent, you shall have plenty of advantages here. Now, sit down and play something for me." "What!
After the holidays a magistrate was fished up somehow, and I was brought before him and the apprehending constable's evidence taken. Then I was remanded to the Bench at Nomah, where Mr. Hood and some of the other witnesses were to appear. So away we started for another journey. Goring and a trooper went with me, and all sorts of care was taken that I didn't give them the slip on the road.

The great bulls, their tongues covered with blood, their eyes flashing, and tails sticking out straight, roaring and fighting, were terrible to see; and it was a little dangerous for me, because the commotion would attract buffalo from all directions to see what was going on.
