I first met Césarine Vivian in the stalls at the Ambiguities Theatre. I had promised to take Mrs. Latham and Irene to see the French plays which were then being acted by Marie Leroux's celebrated Palais Royal company. I wasn't at the time exactly engaged to poor Irene: it has always been a comfort to me that I wasn't engaged to her, though I knew Irene herself considered it practically equivalent to an understood engagement. We had known one another intimately from childhood upward, for the Lathams were a sort of second cousins of ours, three times removed: and we had always called one another by our Christian names, and been very fond of one another in a simple girlish and boyish fashion as long as we could either of us remember. Still, I maintain, there was no definite understanding between us; and if Mrs. Latham thought I had been paying Irene attentions, she must have known that a young man of two and twenty, with a decent fortune and a nice estate down in Devonshire, was likely to look about him for a while before he thought of settling down and marrying quietly.

Excerpt I guess I don''t hold with missionaries. I''ve been in most corners of this globe, and I reckon that the harm they do easily outweighs the good. Stands to reason, don''t it, that we can''t all have the same religion, same as we can''t all have the same shaped nose? So what in thunder is the good of trying to put my nose on to your face, where it won''t fit? And it sort of riles me to see these good earnest people labouring and sweating to do to others what they would only describe as damned impertinence if those others tried to do it to them. Yet, as I see it, there''s no reason why the others shouldn''t. ''Tisn''t as if any particular bunch had a complete corner in truth, is it? But there are exceptions, same as to most things. And for the past twenty years whenever I''ve said I don''t hold with missionaries, I''ve always added a saving clause in my mind. Care to hear what that saving clause is? Right: mine''s the same as before. It was just after the Boer War that it happened. I''d come home: got a job of sorts in London. Thought a few years of the quiet life would do me good, and an old uncle of mine wangled me into the office of a pal of his. Funny old thing my boss was, with a stomach like a balloon. And I give you my word that he was the last man in London whom you''d have expected to meet at the Empire on a Saturday night. It was sheer bad luck, though I don''t suppose I could have stood that job, anyway, for long. I''d met a pal there, you see, and I suppose we''d started to hit it a bit. Anyway a darned great chucker-out came and intimated that he thought the moment had come when we''d better sample the cool night air of Leicester Square. Well, I don''t say I was right: strictly speaking, I suppose I should have accepted his remark in the spirit in which it was intended. But the fact remains that I didn''t like his face or his frock coat-and we had words. And finally the chucker-out sampled the cool night air-not me. The only trouble was that just as he went down the stairs, my boss was coming up with wife and family complete. And that chucker-out was a big man: I guess it was rather like being hit by a steam roller. Anyway the whole blessed family turned head over heels, and landed on the pavement simultaneously with the chucker-out on top. Again strictly speaking, I suppose I should have gone and picked them up with suitable words of regret. But I just couldn''t do it: I was laughing too much. In fact I didn''t stop laughing till I began to run-the police were heaving in sight. Still you boys know what the Empire was like in those days: so I''ll pass on to Monday morning. Not that there''s much to say about Monday morning, except that it closed my connection with the firm. The old man had a black eye where the chucker-out had trodden on his face, and the hell of a liver. And he utterly failed to see the humorous side of the episode. As far as I could make out his wife had smashed her false teeth in the mêlée, and was as wild as a civet cat; and only the fact that his own firm would be involved had prevented him giving my name to the police. My own private opinion was that it wasn''t so much the firm he was worrying about as himself. Still, that''s neither here nor there: all that matters is that my job in London terminated that morning. Maybe you''re wondering what the dickens all this has to do with missionaries and my saving clause, but I''m coming to that part soon. And I want you to realize the frame of mind I was in when I found myself propping up the Criterion bar just before lunch on that Monday. It may seem strange to you that a bloke like me could ever have stomached quill driving in a City office, but the fact remains that at the time I was almighty sick with myself at having got the sack. And as luck would have it, I hadn''t been in that bar more than five minutes when a bunch of four of the boys blew in, whom I''d last seen in South Africa. They were the lads all right, I give you my word: four of the toughest...

Ensign Knightley, and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by A. E. W. Mason. Mason was an English writer and politician. Excerpt: "Wyley leaned across the rail of the balcony, watching the light, and as he watched he was aware that his feelings and his thoughts changed. The interest which he had felt in Scrope died clean away, or rather was transferred to Knightley; and with this new interest there sprang up a new sympathy, a new pity. The change was entirely due to that one yellow light burning in the window and the homely suggestions which it provoked. It brought before him very clearly the bitter contrast: so that light had burned any night these last two years, and Scrope had gone in and out at his will, while up in the barbarous inlands of Morocco the husband had had his daily portion of the bastinado and the whip. It was her fault, too, and she made her profit of it. Wyley became sensible of an overwhelming irony in the disposition of the world."

Excerpt from Rancho Del Muerto: I can get a saddle horse or mule here, no doubt. Had I not better ride right on? I can reach Captain Rawlins and ' camp by 9 or 10 o and 'clock.
