"A fig for reasons!" exclaimed Madame Bonnard. "We women can do
without them. Monsieur Amory will bear me witness; I said that
wretch Obernai was a villain."
"Pardon, mon amie," said her good man, mildly: "you said you
did not like his voice."
"Well, was not that enough? I did not like his voice: therefore he
was a villain. It is plain."
"The Kaiser is said to have a very pleasant voice," remarked
Kenneth, slily.
He was sitting in the Bonnards' kitchen, awaiting the return of
his comrades for supper.
"I should like to ask his wife what she thinks of it," said Madame
Bonnard. "Poor woman! what a terrible thing it will be for her when
she goes with him into banishment, and she has to listen to him all
day long!"
"Think you they will banish him, monsieur?" asked Bonnard.
"Who can tell?" Kenneth replied. "We have got to catch him
first."
"Ah!" sighed Madame. "It is terrible. The end is so far off. Every
day I dread to hear bad news of my poor boys. And to think that
there are millions of poor women whose hearts are bleeding through
that wicked man! What punishment is great enough for him? I
should like to think of him worn and hungry, roaming the world like
the Wandering Jew, with no rest for his feet, always seeing with his
mind's eye the burning cottages, the maimed children, the weeping
mothers, the poor lads he has massacred."
"Is it fair to put it all down to the Kaiser?" said Kenneth.
"Yes, it is fair," cried the good woman, vehemently. "Poor people
copy their betters. His soldiers do what they know will please him.
Has he said one word of blame for all the dreadful things they have
done? Like master, like man."
"I say, old man, here's the post," shouted Harry, bursting in at
the door. "Two letters and a thumping parcel for you; nothing but a
newspaper for me.... Good heavens!"
"What is it?"
"The curs have sunk the Lusitania.... Oh! this is too awful. That
gas they are using--the poor fellows die in agony. It is sheer
murder."
Kenneth read the paragraphs Harry indicated. The Bonnards
had left the room.
"We must just stick it," said Kenneth, handing the paper back.
"Nothing but a thorough thrashing will bring them to their senses.
And there are silly stay-at-home people who talk of not humiliating
them! The Germans are doing their best to show that the world
would gain if the whole race were wiped out."
"Are there no decent people among them at all?"
"Of course there are, and they'll be horrified when they learn
the truth. There's my partner, Finkelstein, as good-hearted a man as
ever breathed. He'd never believe the brutes capable of the crimes
they are committing. But the people are being fed with lies. I can't
but think a lot of them will sicken with disgust by and by."
"I only wish we could hurry it up.... Hullo, here's Ginger! I didn't
expect to see you, old man."
"I'm going home, boys!" cried Ginger, with a smiling face. His
arm was in a sling. "Doctor says I'll be no good for three months.
Shoulder dislocated! My word! he did give me beans when he jerked
it into place. But I'm going home, home! Fancy how the missus and
kids will jump! Not but what I'm sorry to leave you."
"I don't grudge you a rest, old chap," said Harry, "but we shall
want you back again. Listen to this."
He read parts of the newspaper paragraphs. Ginger swore.
"I tell you what," he cried. "I'm not going home to do nothing.
I'm going recruiting. That's what I am. I've spouted a lot of rot in my
time; they'll hear some hard sense now. By George! and if I don't
have at least a score of recruities to my name, call me a Dutchman.
But I've got some news for you--better than those horrible things in
the paper."
"What's that?" asked Kenneth.
"Well, you see, Colonel sent for me, and we had a talk, man to
man; Colonel's a white man, that's what he is. As a matter of fact,
I've done a bit of spouting this evening. But the chaps didn't want
much talking to; they're all right. Verdict unanimous this time. To cut
it short, that promise of yours is off. The chaps say they're quite
satisfied with their job. Not one of 'em wants to go back to the
works until they've seen the Kaiser get his deserts. And Colonel is
writing home to say he wants commissions for you in the Rutlands."
"You mean it, Ginger?"
"That's just what I do mean. When I come back, you'll be
officers. There's just one thing. If I should happen at first to forget
to salute----"
"Oh, rot, man!" cried Harry. "You're a good sort."
"You'll thank them all for us?" said Kenneth. "I'm afraid we
shan't be allowed to stay with the Rutlands, though. Army rules are
against it. But we'll see. Now, come and have some supper. Bonnard
will give us something to celebrate the occasion."
"Can't," said Ginger. "I'm under orders to start in half an hour.
Going back with a batch of crocks. It's good-bye. But I hope I'll see
you again."
He shook hands with them warmly. They were all moved. Each
felt that in the chances of war they might never meet again. But, in
the British way, they hid their feelings. Only as Ginger went out he
turned in the doorway and said:
"Mind you keep your heads down in the trenches."
Kenneth and Harry were silent for a while as they ate their
supper.
"Well, old boy?" said Harry presently.
"Yes. It's good, isn't it?"
"The governor will be happy.... I say, Ken!"
"Well!"
"I can't make you out. You remember when I met you at
Kishimaru's. Well, you seemed jolly casual--not a bit keen. Yet it was
you who set the ball rolling at the works, and you've been keen
enough since."
"Oh well!" was Kenneth's indefinite response.
"Really, I couldn't help thinking you were hanging back. It was
because you'd been seedy, I suppose."
"Perhaps."
"What was wrong with you? German measles?"
"Not so unpatriotic, my son. A trifle run down, that's all."
"Wanted a holiday, I suppose. The war scrapped holidays for
most people."
"I daresay."
"Hang it all! What's the mystery? What do you mean by
'daresay' and 'perhaps' and so on and so forth? What had you been
doing?"
"You're a persistent wretch, Randy. Well, I don't mind telling you
now. I was in Cologne when war was declared, and I had a pretty
strenuous time for a fortnight."
And he proceeded to outline the adventures which the present
writer has related elsewhere.
"Well I'm jiggered!" exclaimed Harry. "Why on earth didn't you
tell me?"
"Well, you see, you as good as told me I was slacking."
"What's that to do with it? All the more reason to open up."
"Give me a cigarette, old chap; it's all right now."
A bugle called them to their feet. They flung on their equipment
and hurried out. The battalion was assembling in the market place.
"The trenches again?" asked Kenneth of a sergeant.
"No. We're ordered north."
"Advancing at last?"
"Let's hope so. Fall in!"
