After uttering a few emphatic
words not found in Shakespeare, the
super-driller restored his ranks to
order, and then with warlike strides

and turned all eyes toward him. The
king confronted him and sternly de-

night, when the valiant were donning
their armor, was slightly bewildering.

garb of fray, with an utter absence of
national animosity.
