"
On
the
left
hand
of
the
second
squadron
.
I
set
the
time
for
all
my
troop
,
little
lady
,
"
he
said
politely
.
"
Now
I
must
go
back
to
Dick
.
My
tail
's
all
muddy
,
and
he
'll
have
two
hours
'
hard
work
dressing
me
for
parade
.
"
The
big
parade
of
all
the
thirty
thousand
men
was
held
that
afternoon
,
and
Vixen
and
I
had
a
good
place
close
to
the
Viceroy
and
the
Amir
of
Afghanistan
,
with
high
,
big
black
hat
of
astrakhan
wool
and
the
great
diamond
star
in
the
center
.
The
first
part
of
the
review
was
all
sunshine
,
and
the
regiments
went
by
in
wave
upon
wave
of
legs
all
moving
together
,
and
guns
all
in
a
line
,
till
our
eyes
grew
dizzy
.
Then
the
cavalry
came
up
,
to
the
beautiful
cavalry
canter
of
"
Bonnie
Dundee
,
"
and
Vixen
cocked
her
ear
where
she
sat
on
the
dog-cart
.
The
second
squadron
of
the
Lancers
shot
by
,
and
there
was
the
troop-horse
,
with
his
tail
like
spun
silk
,
his
head
pulled
into
his
breast
,
one
ear
forward
and
one
back
,
setting
the
time
for
all
his
squadron
,
his
legs
going
as
smoothly
as
waltz
music
.
Then
the
big
guns
came
by
,
and
I
saw
Two
Tails
and
two
other
elephants
harnessed
in
line
to
a
forty-pounder
siege
gun
,
while
twenty
yoke
of
oxen
walked
behind
.
The
seventh
pair
had
a
new
yoke
,
and
they
looked
rather
stiff
and
tired
.
Last
came
the
screw
guns
,
and
Billy
the
mule
carried
himself
as
though
he
commanded
all
the
troops
,
and
his
harness
was
oiled
and
polished
till
it
winked
.
I
gave
a
cheer
all
by
myself
for
Billy
the
mule
,
but
he
never
looked
right
or
left
.

The
rain
began
to
fall
again
,
and
for
a
while
it
was
too
misty
to
see
what
the
troops
were
doing
.
They
had
made
a
big
half
circle
across
the
plain
,
and
were
spreading
out
into
a
line
.
That
line
grew
and
grew
and
grew
till
it
was
three-quarters
of
a
mile
long
from
wing
to
wing
--
one
solid
wall
of
men
,
horses
,
and
guns
.
Then
it
came
on
straight
toward
the
Viceroy
and
the
Amir
,
and
as
it
got
nearer
the
ground
began
to
shake
,
like
the
deck
of
a
steamer
when
the
engines
are
going
fast
.
Unless
you
have
been
there
you
can
not
imagine
what
a
frightening
effect
this
steady
come-down
of
troops
has
on
the
spectators
,
even
when
they
know
it
is
only
a
review
.
I
looked
at
the
Amir
.
Up
till
then
he
had
not
shown
the
shadow
of
a
sign
of
astonishment
or
anything
else
.
But
now
his
eyes
began
to
get
bigger
and
bigger
,
and
he
picked
up
the
reins
on
his
horse
's
neck
and
looked
behind
him
.
For
a
minute
it
seemed
as
though
he
were
going
to
draw
his
sword
and
slash
his
way
out
through
the
English
men
and
women
in
the
carriages
at
the
back
.
Then
the
advance
stopped
dead
,
the
ground
stood
still
,
the
whole
line
saluted
,
and
thirty
bands
began
to
play
all
together
That
was
the
end
of
the
review
,
and
the
regiments
went
off
to
their
camps
in
the
rain
,
and
an
infantry
band
struck
up
with
--
The
animals
went
in
two
by
two
,
