For them the happy hunting grounds now. They knew it; but as their fathers' sons they acquitted themselves. Even then they had time to gather in a phalanx that would have been hard to break had they risen quickly, but this they were forbidden to do by the traditions of their race. FOR THEM THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS NOW THEY KNEW IT BUT AS THEIR FATHERS SONS THEY ACQUITTED THEMSELVES EVEN THEN THEY HAD TIME TO GATHER IN A PHALANX THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HARD TO BREAK HAD THEY RISEN QUICKLY BUT THIS THEY WERE FORBIDDEN TO DO BY THE TRADITIONS OF THEIR RACE

From the accounts afterwards supplied by such of the scouts as escaped the carnage, he does not seem even to have paused at the rising ground, though it is certain that in that grey light he must have seen it: no thought of waiting to be attacked appears from first to last to have visited his subtle mind; he would not even hold off till the night was nearly spent; on he pounded with no policy but to fall to.
