I am sorry to say that you will have to leave us; for you are gazetted to the 103rd Punjabi Regiment, who are stationed at Rawalpindi." "I am sorry indeed to hear that, sir; though of course, I could hardly have expected to remain with you.

I shall be awfully sorry to leave.

You have all been so kind to me, and I have known you all so long.

Still, it is splendid that I have got my commission.

I might have waited three or four years, in England; and then been spun at the examination." Lisle marched down with the regiment to Peshawar.
