The ambition of his life--young as he was he saw it realised and helped--more than all others, except perhaps one old Colonel--to realise it. And he left me a son ... to carry on.... There will be no stigma on the Clayfords when my boy gets his commission. Won"t I tell him why? Won"t I just tell him!"
And the soft October evening closed in upon them as they drove.
THE END
