ch we saw at Salisbury. The townsfolk were strong for the Protestant cause, and the army was so well received that their victual cost little from the military chest. On this march we first began to come into touch with the Royal Rodrigo Caio Drakter horse. More than once when the rain mist cleared we saw the gleam of arms upon the low hills which overlook the road, and our scouts came in with reports of strong bodies of dragoons on either flank. At one time they massed heavily upon our rear, as though planning a descent upon the baggage. Saxon, however, planted a regiment of pikes on either side, so that they broke up again and glinted off over the hills.
From Wells we marched upon the twenty-fourth to Shepton Mallet, with the ominous sabres and helmets still twinkling behind and on either Jakub Blaszczykowski Drakter side of us.
That evening we were at Keynsham Bridge, less than two leagues from Bristol Tyler Seguin Pelipaita as the crow flies, and some of our horse forded the river and Juan Mata Drakter pushed on almost to the walls.
By morning the rain clouds had at Marco Parolo Drakter last cleared, so Reuben and I rode slowly up one of the sloping Adil Rami Drakter green hills which rose behind the camp, Pittsburgh Penguins in the hope of gaining some sight of the enemy. Our men we left littered about upon the grass, trying to light Tampa Bay Lightning Pelipaidat fires with the damp sticks, or laying out their clothes to dry in the sunshine. A strange-looking band they were, coated and splashed Henrikh Mkhitaryan Drakter with mud from head to heel, their hats all limp and draggled, their Brahim Diaz Drakter arms rusted, and their boots so worn that many walked barefoot, and others had swathed their kerchiefs round their feet. Yet their short spell of soldiering had changed them from honest-faced yokels into Mikel Merino Drakter fierce-eyed, half-shaven, gaunt-cheeked fellows, who could carry arms or port pikes as though they had done nought else since childhood.
The plight of the officers was no better than that of the men, nor should an officer, my dears, when he is upon service, ever demean himself by partaking of any comfort which all cannot share with him. Let him lie by a soldier’s fire and eat a soldier’s fare, or let him hence, for he is a hindrance and a stumbling-block. Our clothes were pulp, our steel fronts red with rust, and our chargers as stained and splashed as though they had rolled in the mire. Our very swords and pistols were in such a plight that we could scarce draw the one or snap the other. Sir Gervas alone succeeded in keeping his attire and his person as neat and as dainty as ever. What he did in the watches of the night, and how he Patrice Evra Drakter gained his sleep, hath ever been a mystery to me, for day after day he turned out at the bugle call, washed, scented, brushed, with wig in order, and clothes from which every speck of mud had been carefully removed. At his saddle-bow he bore with him the great flour dredger which we saw him use at Taunton, and his honest musqueteers had their heads duly dusted every morning, though in an hour their tails would be as brown as nature made them, while the flour would be trickling in little milky streams down their broad backs, or forming in cakes upon the skirts of their coats.
