She kept her word, as ladies always do. (Laughtei-.) “The result was a half-sheet of paper with the most astonishing ungrammatical message,‘ signed by Lord Kitchener, which gave us the right. to search for the wounded so long as we kept far away from the front line; and having got that order We promptly diS~ obeyed it.”
