From the library
Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station--saying they were coming on the five-thirty train tonight.
His opened mail lay like a bank of stage snow on his crowded desk.
He set out, and on the Saturday evening reached the Place de la Douane by the mail-coach.
War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail.
