ssarily, but
you know, dear, one's got to do it on a job like this. And oh,
I say, what a pig I am, gassing about myself before I tell you
that dear old Bob is coming over with us to receive the M.C.
It's an awfully pretty thing with silver-and-blue
ribbon--and--though mind you, mater, this is not to be put
about yet in case it doesn't come off--but there's a strong
rumour round here that the Governor's to have a division! Haig
was awfully delighted at the way he handled that business about
a month ago--I mean when we downed your old friend Van Drissel.
Hope you are not running any more refugees, eh, what? Now be at
the station to meet us, and if you like to kiss Hawke, you may.
He's saved my life more than once."
Mrs. Dashwood closed her eyes, and her lips moved in silent prayer. She
was thanking Heaven that her husband and sons were "making good" in the
hour of her country's triumph!
