'Now then, if you're going, said the serjeant, clapping Dennis on the back, and pointing after the officer who was walking towards the shed. To which Mr Dennis only replied, 'Don't talk to me! and then repeated what he had said before, namely, 'Here's a pretty sight! 'It's not one that you care for much, I should think, observed the serjeant coolly.
Petch himself accompanied Lieut. Russell and Serjeant Toon to look at the enemy, and for a change found his front line held. They were caught peering over the parapet, and got a warm reception. Both officers were slightly wounded and had to go to England. Meanwhile, Lieut. Banwell took command of "A" Company.
What is your honour's pleasure next?" "I wish my mind were at ease on the subject of the Tuscarora. With Nick's assistance as a runner and spy, and even as a sharp-shooter, we should be vastly stronger. See to the gate yourself, serjeant, then follow me to Mr. Woods' room." This was done, the captain waiting for his companion on the threshold of the outer door.
But before we proceed any further with the captain we will return to poor Amelia, for whom, considering the situation in which we left her, the good-natured reader may be, perhaps, in no small degree solicitous.
