After the dinner, the Jamaican waiter-boys proving too slow, the dinner-party in a body adjourned to Angelina's, and when later, Major Aintree moved across the street to the night train to Las Palmas, he moved unsteadily.

Move on," he ordered, "you're keeping these people waiting." Others of the dinner-party formed a flying wedge around Aintree and crowded him up the steps and into a seat and sat upon him.

What's your name?" Looking neither at Aintree nor at the faces turned toward him, Standish replied as though Aintree had asked him what time it was.

And when at last he saw his hero, he believed his worship was justified.

When Standish learned his hero was a drunkard, when day after day Aintree furnished visible evidences of that fact, Standish felt Aintree had betrayed him and the army and the government that had educated, trained, clothed, and fed him.
