Women can love, as this book sets forth: but now and then men can love too, if they be men, as Major Campbell was.
And Trebooze of Trebooze?
Even Trebooze got his new lesson two years ago.

Terrified into sobriety, he went into the militia, and soon took delight therein.

He worked, for the first time in his life, early and late, at a work which was suited for him.

He soon learnt not to swear and rage, for his men would not stand it; and not to get drunk, for his messmates would not stand it.

He got into better society and better health than he ever had had before.
With new self-discipline has come new self-respect; and he tells his wife frankly, that if he keeps straight henceforth, he has to thank for it his six months at Aldershott.
And Mary?
When you meet Mary in heaven, you can ask her there.
But Frank's desire, that Grace should become his schoolmistress once more, is not fulfilled.
How she worked at Scutari and at Balaklava, there is no need to tell.
Why mark her out from the rest, when all did more than nobly?
The lesson which she needed was not that which hospitals could teach; she had learnt that already.
