SWORDS OF HONOUR - Six Outstanding Miltary Lives - Profusely
IllustratedThis book outlines the eventful careers of six eminent
nineteenth century soldiers.. All were officers and all were
remarkable in their own fields though some achieved middle rank and
others rose to the highest military levels. Within these pages are
battles and experiences during the Napoleonic Age from Spain to
America and Waterloo. The war in Afghanistan, the two Sikh Wars and
the Indian Mutiny are also represented. The book concludes with the
career of Thomas Jackson in Mexico and during the American Civil
War. Filled with dozens of personal accounts from journals, 'Swords
of Honour' is made particularly special by the inclusion of 46
illustrations by the accomplished military illustrator Stanley L
Wood. An ideal reader and a perfect gift book for all occasions.

CHAPTER III IN WHICH DAUNT AND I FACE A STRANGE FOE ONE of the
chief idiosyncrasies of my little master, Mr. Vigorous Daunt, which
even rivalled his ineradicable dislike of every colour save brown,
or his sentimental aversion for the fair sex, was the extraordinary
tenderness and interest he at all times manifested for people of
the Asiatic race. Many times had I wonderingly remarked this
peculiar susceptibility, yet, strange to say, something had always
prevented me from inquiring as to the cause of it, until one
memorable night in the early autumn of the year 189?. We had dined
and spent the earlier portion of that evening in company with
several other notabilities at the house of a prominent politician.
One of the people we had met at our host's table was Prince Ming,
of Burmah. My master had apparently conceived an instantaneous
fancy for the Burmese Prince, and, as far as I could judge, the
liking had been reciprocated. The two men had gravitated by mutual
impulse; and after dinner had adjourned to a quiet corner
andcarried on quite a cabinet confab until nearly eleven, at which
hour Prince Ming bade us good-night. The Prince had not been gone
more than five minutes when Vigorous Daunt also took his leave (and
mine). My master decided to walk home. " It's a fine night and we
have been four hours seated," he explained. We fell into step, and
our conversation turned upon our strange companion of the evening,
Prince Ming, and my master's strange predilection for the Yellow
races. Vigorous Daunt suddenly stopped short. He peered into my
eyes, a favourite trick of his, very sharply, but I saw (we stood
beneath a street lamp) that he was intently preoccupied. All his
faculties were strained to listen. Presently he swung round and
stared in a particular direction....
