Excerpt from The Lost Heir General's life. By Jove That was a plucky thing. Who was he? Why, he was the chap who was walking backwards and forwards with the General when the band was playing yesterday evening. Several of the men remarked how like he was to you, Sanderson. I noticed it, too. There certainly was a strong likeness. Yes, some of the fellows were saying so, Sanderson replied. He passed close to me, and I saw that he was about my height and build, but of course I did not notice the likeness; a man does not know his own face much. Anyhow, he only sees his full face, and doesn't know how he looks sideways. He is a civilian, isn't he? Yes, I believe so; I know that the General is putting him up at his quarters. He has been here about a week. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
