Excerpt from The Cellar-House of Pervyse: A Tale of Uncommon Things From the Journals and Letters of the Baroness T'serclaes and Mairi Chisholm But it has not been unrecognized, for King Albert had heard and seen what they had done, how many lives they had saved, and how they had lilspll'ed the worn soldiers with their own bright courage so he sent for them and pinned on their khaki tunics the Knights' Cross of the Order of Leopold II., which carries with it the right to have the Belgian soldiers present arms. He per sonally thanked them for all they had endured. And reward came in another way, because Mrs. Knocker, a young widow, met out there the young Baron Harold de t'serclaes belonging to one of the oldest Belgian families. It was almost a case of love at first sight, and after the many difficulties incidental to the bride and bridegroom's belonging to different nations had been overcome, they were married, and both continue to carry on their duties just the same.
