He was mightily pleased with Carrick's humour, and conceived for him a friendship, in which the Spaniards are perhaps more constant and at the same time more zealous, than any other nation in Europe.

I only dread pursuit." "Pursuit! and by whom?" "By her father.
Something on Carrick's sleeves seemed to confirm this supposition. "All right," he answered, "I guess it will keep until we have reached our quarters. By the way how did you get the chevrons of a sergeant-major? That's the highest rank a non com. can aspire to." Carrick grinned. "That's part of the story, sir," he retorted.
"Ah! well, child, I see ye're in earnest," good-naturedly responded the earl, as he gave it up. "I was afraid ye'd only laugh at me. I knew I was too old." And that was the beginning and the ending of Lord Carrick's wooing. Scarcely worth recording, you will think. But there was a reason for doing so.
This is about all, Captain Carter, except that when King Stovik fled he was supposed to have worn the medal found on your chauffeur.

Once a horse-doctor had come out from town to Rosie Carrick's place and Rosie's pussy had been sick, and he had given it medicine which cured it. She related the incident for Charles Stuart's encouragement, but he did not seem very favorably impressed. Pulling pussy-cats' tails was more in Charles Stuart's line.
Newman smiled, and rested a large hand on Carrick's arm. "We go by different roads to our goal, Carrick," he said, "but it is the same goal. We serve the same Master, under different names and in different ways. You call Him Science and I call Him Christ the same Master, though; and my services take me to church to-night.
