109 CHAPTER XII.
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF ACTUAL WAR, AND MY THOUGHTS THEREON.
We set out by the light of the moon. Our party consisted of a small force of Russian light cavalry. The officer in command was evidently well ac- quainted with our route, for he rode smartly ahead ^vithout hesitation or sign of uncertainty for several hours.
At first Nicholas and I conversed in low tones as we cantered side by side over hill and dale, but as the night advanced we became less communi- cative, and finall...y dropped into silence. As I looked upon village and liamlet, bathed in the subdued light, resting in quietness and peace, I thought sadly of the evils that war would surely bring upon many an innocent and helpless woman and child.
It was invariably in this course that my thoughts about war flowed. I was, indeed, quite alive to the national evils of war, and I will not admit that any man-of-peace feels more sensitively than I do 170 IN THE TEACK OF THE TROOPS the fact that, in war, a nation's best, youngest, and most hopeful blood is spilled, while its longest lives and most ardent spirits are ruthlessly, uselessly sacrificed — its budding youths, its strajDping men, its freshest and most muscular, to say nothing of mental, manhood.
