CHAPTER XX.
IN WHICH THE MAJOR LEARNS THAT NO MAN IS NECESSARY.
For six days Troy continued to rejoice, winding up each day with a dance.

We will content ourselves, however, with one last extract from _The Plymouth and Dock Telegraph_: "At noon on Thursday the town assembled again and escorted its Mayor and Mayoress to the Hymen Hospital, where, in the presence of a distinguished company, Mrs.Hansombody (ward and heiress of the late S.Hymen) unveiled a bust of her gallant kinsman, whose premature heroic death Troy has never ceased to lament.
Sir Felix Felix-Williams made eulogistic reference to the deceased, remarking on the number of instances by which the late war had confirmed the truth of the Roman poet's observation that it is pleasant and seemly to die for one's country.

The Mayor responded on behalf of his amiable lady, whom Sir Felix's tribute had visibly affected.

The sculpture was pronounced to be a lifelike image, reflecting great credit on the artist, Mr.Tipping, R.A.

The pedestal, five feet in height, is of polished black Luxulyan granite, and bears name and date with the words 'Take Him for All in All We shall not Look upon his Like again.' The bust, executed in plaster of Paris, will be replaced by marble when funds allow.
