Eagle Blood CHAPTER I A BATTALION of stalwart grenadiers swung through Fleet Street in the rain, with squealing fifes and roaring drums, the dripping red ensign flapping in the wind above the moving mass of scarlet and steel and sodden bearskins. A thousand faces looked down from a thousand grimy windows and a hoarse murmur of cheering came from under the lines of streaming black umbrellas, crawling and bumping, turtle-like, along the splashed pavements; for if anything can move the voice of that most British street in the British Empire, it is the sight of the gloriously sharp steel that guards the sacred cause of British commerce throughout the dividend-paying world.
