"What about Jackanapes?"

"Don't you know? Sad business. Rode back for Johnson, and brought him in; but, monstrous ill-luck, hit as they rode. Left lung—"

"Will he recover?"

"No. Sad business." "What a frame—what limbs—what health—and what good looks? Finest young fellow—"

"Where is he?"

"In his own tent," said the surgeon sadly.

The Major wheeled and left him.


"Can I do anything else for you?"

"Nothing, thank you. Except—Major! I wish I could get you to appreciate Johnson."
