Excerpt from This Man's World The venerable Bellamy strolled among the palm paths with Major worden-key. Rothatcher called to them to sit down. Bellamy was seventy, proba bly the best. Loved man in the Philippines. Fifteen years before, he had been the dean of the chaplains in the regular army. Practically every young man in and out of the service who had made good among the Islands had something to thank Bellamy for. The old man wore white and wore it well. His white beard and moustache almost startled one with their purity. There was not the slightest colouring of tobacco around the mouth or any looseness of life in the fine old face; in fact, there was a lustre to it, wrinkles and all. Wor den-key was the governor-general's right hand, and as Rothatcher would say, the best part of his chief's brain, as well. He was detached from a cavalry regi ment for service at headquarters in Manila, and was almost wearisomely cryptic and quiet. Bellamy and the American officer ordered breakfast at Rothatcher's table.
