The next day, Sunday, I left for Paris, bidding farewell regretfully
to the last of my British-officer hosts. He seemed like an old, old
friend--though I had known him but a few days. I can see him now as he
waved me a good-bye from the platform in his Glengarry cap and short
tunic and plaid trousers. He is the owner of a castle and some seventy
square miles of land in Scotland alone. For the comfort of his nation's
guests, he toils like a hired courier.
