when made to learn and practise the science
and art of boxing.
And at Sandhust, especially in riding
school, the same suspicion arose in the minds
of some. the scarcely -to-be- mentioned sus-
picion that Dangerfield wasn't conspicuously
good at taking it"
And finally in the Regiment. And then
came the War. And to Lieutenant Eustace
Dangerfield the result of his mother training.
For time he contrived to hide his feelings
and to carry on. But under the first intensive
bombardment his nerves went to pieces. A
rigor seized him and, after fit of such violent
trembling that the chattering of his teeth was
audible, he thrust his fingers into his ears.

round in circles, screaming aloud. He didn't
run away. He simply ran about in the open.
bowling like an injured dog, like dog that
has been run over and cannot go straight.
And as he only wanted to die, no bullet, no
shell, no flying fragment could touch him, of
course.
He had had no sleep for several nights, had
been unable to eat, had suffered neuralgia
pains in the head and arms, horrible heart
palpitation; for all the time he saw huge Huns
rushing upon him, and thrusting bayonets
through his throat, his lungs, his entrails, saw

course had the shaping of young Eustace from
the time when he was the softest of clay in the
hard hands of the potter. Which. of course,
shows what miserable material upon which
Helen Dangerfeld had to work.
And fully she admitted it when, at the
age of twenty five, the very time when he had
a chance to be such credit to her, he was
convicted coward. Helen Dangerfeld's son
coward, in spite of all that she had done to
harden him, to make man of him.
Had she ever, like some mothers, she asked,
coddled him, given way to him. pandered to
him? Never. When as nervous child, he had
begged to be allowed to have light in his
bedroom, she had replied by drawing heavy
curtains to shut out even moonlight and star
light. When he had implored that at least the
bedroom door might be left open, she had
locked it. And when he had screamed in his
fear of the dark, she had done her best to
whip the cowardice out of him. At least she
had succeeded in making him fear her even
more than he feared the terrors of darkness.
A cowardly little hound, as they soon dis
covered at school, for he flinched visibly from
the swiftly bowled ball; lodged, rather than
tackled, the fast forward at Rugger; cinged
when he was mildly bullied; and simply
covered up and took what was coming to him

perhaps the bravest of the brave is
~ he who, while really cold with fear,
makes others think he is cool from heroism;
makes them think so by his actions and bear
ing, that is to say.
Anyhow, she did think that if you put
coward into the dress of soldier, he would
at least look the part of a brave man: and
that a military uniform, like good deed,
can cover multitude of sins, including the
greatest sin of a soldier.
Nevertheless, they did not think very much
of her son, Eustace. in his Regiment. any
more than they had done at Sandhurst and
Charterhouse.
Aword or two about his upbringing.
Helen Dangerfeld instilled into her only
child, this boy Eustace, the fear OF God and
terror of herself, and so well, that far sooner
would he, as lad, have faced the wrath OF
Heaven and the pains of Hell than the anger
of his mother and the miseries Of her punish
ment, her biting contempt, her scourgmg
tongue and her cutting little whip.
For Helen Dangerfeld was one of those
women 10 WHOM CdltC1up< 10 IIdSuA "a oAH0 cosy
one of those firm mothers who spare neither
the rod nor the child.
Her husband, General Sir George Danger
field, had gone to his rest soon after the boys
birth. Some people thought he needed rest
after ten years of Helen.
It was not so much that Helen was very
cruel or sadistic woman, as that she took
terribly high standard; high standard for
other people, particularly her own people
whose successes or failures reflected credit or
discredit upon herself. Her husband. for
example, was failure by her high standards.
Whereas she had intended his career to end
with his being Field Marshal, a Baronet and
ave, he had grievously disappointed her by
dying a mere General, with only K.C.B.,
CHG, and D.S.O. to his name; a common
Knight, after all. After all that she had done
for him, that is - and said to him.
And with his son, young Eustace, it was
even worse, and what made it worst of all
was the fact that, whereas she had not had
the molding of Sir George until he was
middle-aged and set in his habits, she had of

it leaped into gallop and raced off headlong,

Eustace went madden. Snatching off his kepi,
the lunatic beat the equally maddened horse
