Chapter XXXIII: Epilogue

The short Northern summer was drawing rapidly to its close when Chrysie and Hardress were pronounced fit to travel. Hardress had had a very narrow shave, for one of the count's bullets had grazed the right lung, and the wound had brought on an acute attack of pleural inflammation.

Chrysie's wounds had healed within a fortnight, and as soon as she was able to get about she did her best to supplant Lady Olive as nurse in the sickroom.

"You may be his sister," she said, in answer to a strong protest from Lady Olive, "and you're just as good a sister as a man wants to have; but I hope I'm going to be something more than a sister; and so, if he's going to be mine and I'm going to be his, I want to do the rest. After all, you see it's only a sort of looking after one's own property."

Just at this moment Hardress woke up and turned a languid head and a pair of weary and yet eager eyes upon the two girls.

"Chrysie," he said, in a thick, hoarse whisper, and yet through smiling lips, "in the speech of your own country, you've got it in once. There's just one thing I want now to make me well. You know what it is. Come and give it me."

"Why, you mean thing!" said Chrysie, going towards the bed, "I believe you've heard everything we've been saying."

"Some of it," he whispered. "What about that reserve--that territory, you know, that I was supposed to have an option on in Buffalo?"

"Buffalo's not Boothia, Shafto," she replied, using his Christian name for the first time since they had known each other; "but the reserve's all right. I guess you've only got to take up your option when you want it."

"Then I'll take it now," he whispered again, looking weariedly and yet with an infinite longing into her eyes.

"And so you shall," she said, leaning down over the bed. "You have done the work--you and Lord Orrel and poppa. You've done everything that you said you would; you're masters of the world, and, as far as mortals can be, controllers of human destiny--you and Doctor Lamson. He began it, didn't he? If it hadn't been for him and his knowledge you'd have done nothing at all. And he's got his reward too. That's so; isn't it, Olive? Yes; you can tell the story afterwards, but you and I are going to marry two of the world masters, and we're each of us going to have a world master for father, and--well, I guess that's about all there is in it. And now I'm going to seal the contract."

She bent her head and kissed Hardress's pale but still smiling lips, and just at that moment there was a knock at the door. Lady Olive almost involuntarily said, "Come in," and Doctor Lamson, who had, next to Emil Fargeau, been the working genius of the whole vast scheme which the dead savant had worked out in his laboratory at Strassburg, came in.

Miss Chrysie, flushing and bright-eyed, straightened herself up, looking most innocently guilty. Doctor Lamson looked at her for a moment and then at Lady Olive. His own clear, deep-set grey eyes lit up with a flash, and his clean-cut lips curved into a smile, as he said:

"I hope I'm not intruding, as a much more distinguished person than myself once said; but, as Hardress is so much better, having apparently found a most potent, though unqualified, physician, I thought you would like to hear the latest news from Europe. The Powers have surrendered at discretion. As they can't fight, they are willing to make peace. They have accepted King Edward as arbitrator, and he, like the good sportsman that he is, has decided that in future, if a country wants to fight another, it shall submit the _casus belli_ to a committee of the Powers not concerned in the quarrel. If they are all concerned in it, the tribunal is to consist of the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Archimandrite of the Greek Church. If either of the belligerents refuse arbitration after the dispute has been thoroughly gone through, or begins fighting before the decision is delivered, it will have the same experiences as Europe had in the late war--which, of course, was no war."

"Because we stopped it," said Lady Olive, looking straight across the room into Doctor Lamson's eyes.

"Well, yes, _we_," said Chrysie, standing up beside the bed. "I reckon, all things considered, we four have had about as much to do with stopping this war and teaching the nations to behave decently as anybody else on earth. We are here on the throne of the world, kings and queens from pole to pole!"

"But, my dear Chrysie," exclaimed Lady Olive, flushing from her shapely chin to her temples, and making a move towards the door, "surely you don't mean----"

"I don't mean any more than we all mean in our hearts," interrupted Chrysie, taking Hardress's hand in hers. "What's the use of world masters and world mistresses trying to hide things from each other? We four people here in this room run the world. I want to run this man, and you want to run that one; and they, of course, think they'll run us, which they won't! Anyhow, we're all willing to try that, and I think the best thing we can do is to sign, seal, and deliver the contract of the offensive and defensive alliance right here and now. You kiss, and we'll kiss, and that's all there is to it."

And they kissed.

THE KING'S RACE-HORSES

A HISTORY OF THE CONNECTION OF HIS MAJESTY KING EDWARD VII. WITH THE NATIONAL SPORT

By EDWARD SPENCER

With Additional Notes by Lord Marcus Beresford.

The Times.--"No more appropriate time could have been selected for
the publication of a book such as this, which relates with much
wealth of detail and in a very spirited style the history of the
King's connection with the Turf. Mr. Spencer is fully justified in
his claim that this volume will be 'a record for all time of the
important part which His Majesty has taken in racing affairs'. The
volume has been most sumptuously got up, being illustrated with 20
plates in photogravure from photographs by Mr. Clarence Hailey, of
Newmarket, who has the sole right of photographing the King's
horses--these plates, with a special one of His Majesty as a
frontispiece, presenting the King's principal racehorses, his two
trainers (first John Porter and subsequently Richard Marsh), and
his jockeys. Yet all the money lavished upon the exterior of this
fine book would be thrown away were the contents deficient in
interest or lacking in accuracy; but the text is by no means the
least attractive part of the volume, while the author appears to
have thoroughly mastered his subject."

The Morning Post.--"This handsome and beautifully printed volume
not only includes a record of His Majesty's horses and their
performances, but it gathers up a considerable amount of
information concerning the connection of Royalty with the turf,
and the state of the sport of racing at different periods. The
text, which is equalled in interest by the pictures, which include
portraits of the King, Lord Marcus Beresford--to whom the proofs
of the text were submitted, and who has furnished additional
notes--John Porter, and Richard Marsh, whilst the most famous of
the horses are also represented. The work is luxuriously produced,
and will be highly welcome to a large number of those who are
devoted to 'the sport of Kings.'" JOHN LONG, 13 & 14 Norris

Field-Marshal LORD WOLSELEY, K.P., &c.

SOCIAL LIFE IN THE BRITISH ARMY

By Capt. W. E. Cairnes. Author of "An Absent-Minded War." Crown 8vo, special cover design, 6s. With 16 full-page Illustrations on art paper by R. Caton Woodville. [_Third Edition._

Pall Mall Gazette.--"Brightly written by the Military expert of the _Westminster Gazette_, and neatly illustrated by Mr. Caton Woodville; this is a most interesting and instructive volume. It is just what was wanted now that the question of the cost of life in the Army and the impossibility for an officer of living upon his pay has been brought into such prominence. The question is emphatically one of those which must not be allowed to slip away again should a long peace follow on the present war, as questions have a way of doing. "A British Officer" makes some very shrewd points in the matter. He performs a useful service in clearing the ground of vulgar exaggerations, the French and Russian myths of the British Officer's wild luxuriousness, the agitator's "gilded popinjay" superficialities, the duties and recreations of the officer, sketches life at Sandhurst and the Staff College, and devotes a chapter to Tommy and to Mrs. Tommy in the married quarters."

Army and Navy Gazette.--"No volume has appeared dealing so thoroughly and so competently with the inner life of the Army. It is not merely descriptive, but will be welcomed by all those who contemplate putting their sons in the Service, for they will realise better than otherwise they might do what the conditions of military life are."

AUSTRALIA AT THE FRONT

A COLONIAL VIEW OF THE GREAT BOER WAR

By Frank Wilkinson (Special Correspondent of the _Sydney Daily Telegraph_). With Portrait, Map, and 20 Illustrations on art paper by Norman H. Hardy from Sketches on the spot, and Photos by the Author. Crown 8vo, special cover design, 6s. [_Second Edition._

The Times.--"Mr. Wilkinson's book is uniformly interesting, and has a direct bearing upon one of the great lessons of the war."

The Daily Mail.--"It may safely be said that no war correspondent's work is more deserving of attention than Mr. Frank Wilkinson's. He gives facts in a bright, humorous, unaffected way, and some of these facts require careful study by the nation. This is certainly a book to be read and studied. It is convincing in its moderation and truthfulness, excellently illustrated, and furnished with a good map."

The Daily News.--"We think we have never read a war correspondent's story on which scrupulous honesty was more clearly written. It is a book which deserves to be read by any student of the war, and will certainly be welcomed by all Australians who shared in the campaign."

The Athenaeum.--"The book should be studied by all those who have the condition of our Army at heart."

ON THE WAR PATH

A LADY'S LETTERS FROM THE FRONT

By Mrs. J. D. Leather-Culley. With 16 full-page Illustrations on art paper from Photographs taken by the Author. Crown 8vo, special cover design, 3s. 6d.

The Globe.--"We can recommend it heartily for perusal, for it is so obviously frank, fresh, and free in its general atmosphere and tone. It is quite delightful to read passages so full of vivacity, so devoid of affectation, so thoroughly to the point. It is in such informal narratives as these that we get at the 'true inwardness' of the war and its surroundings. We could quote many an instructive and suggestive passage. This is undoubtedly a book to be read."

The Spectator.--"The book generally is full of interest. It should be read and judged as a whole. We might make a very startling column by choosing extracts."

The Daily Mail.--"Mrs. Culley witnessed Major White's superb defence of Ladybrand, of which feat she gives a very interesting account. Altogether a bright little book, illustrated with some good photographs."

The Outlook.--"As far as it goes the book is one of the best we have seen."

RURAL LIFE: Its Humour and Pathos

By Caroline Gearey. Crown 8vo, special cover design, 6s.

The Academy.--"A pleasant 'pot-pourri' of observations and anecdotes relating to village life. Well chosen and pleasantly knit together." The Daily News.--"The book is amusing." The Spectator.--"A sufficiently readable book." To-day.--"A pleasantly written book." The Leeds Mercury.--"In her very entertaining book Miss Gearey is happy in her illustrations of village courtship." The Glasgow Herald.--"The sketches are as good-natured as they are entertaining."

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

By the Right Hon. Sir Richard Temple, Bart., G.C.S.I., &c. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. [_Second Edition._

The Daily News.--"We heartily congratulate Sir Richard Temple on producing a particularly pleasing book about Parliament."

The Pall Mall Gazette.--"Every Parliamentarian and every Politician will find this book of deep interest."

The Athenaeum.--"We can strongly recommend Sir Richard Temple's book."

The Globe.--"A manual whose utility is equalled only by its brightness and general readability."

THE LAST OF THE CLIMBING BOYS

By George Elson. With a Preface by the Dean of Hereford. Crown 8vo, cover design, 6s.

The Standard.--"A singularly interesting book ... the narrative becomes remarkably interesting--the life of a sweep, such as it was in those days, being told with a freshness and reality on a par with the novelty and originality of the events recorded."

The Guardian.--"A remarkable life-sketch, which is as interesting as it is curious. The book is very readable and amusing as well as interesting. It is impossible to close it without a feeling of thankfulness that one deep blot that rests upon the past has been thoroughly wiped away."

The Pall Mall Gazette.--"The book, which is enormously interesting, whether viewed as a human document or as a romance, is the autobiography of Mr. George Elson, who began his career in the first year of Queen Victoria's reign as a 'climbing boy.'"

HAPPINESS: Its Pursuit and Attainment

By Rev. W. J. Kelly. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
[_Second Edition._

The Tablet.--"The author has combined a systematic treatment which reflects the training of the schools with a freshness and originality of exposition which is all his own, while the whole work has a literary flavour which bespeaks the scholar and--in the best sense of the term--the man of letters.... With much fervour and force of language the author shows how in the beatific vision the desires of those whose natural inclinations lead them to seek for riches, honours, power, beauty of form or harmony of sound, wisdom, peace, love, joy, will severally and collectively be satisfied. We most cordially recommend this excellent work to the notice and the use of clergy and laity alike."
