He never spoke to the\u003cbr\u003evillage children nor noticed them, and was not, as a result, very\u003cbr\u003epopular with the young people of his home town. The neighbors said\u003cbr\u003ethis was all on account of his bringing up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was therefore a surprise to them when, at the beginning of the\u003cbr\u003egreat war, after Germany swept over Belgium, Robert Favor hurried to\u003cbr\u003eEurope. It was later learned that he had joined what is known as the\u003cbr\u003e\"Foreign Legion\" of the French Army. Titusville next heard that he had\u003cbr\u003ebeen made a lieutenant for heroic conduct under fire. But Titusville\u003cbr\u003edid not believe it; it said no Favor ever did anything but run away in\u003cbr\u003esuch circumstances. But they believed it when, later on, they read in\u003cbr\u003ethe newspapers how Lieutenant Favor had sprung out of the trenches and\u003cbr\u003eran to the rescue of a wounded private soldier who had lain in a shell\u003cbr\u003ehole in No Man's Land since the night before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe village swelled with pride and the eyes of the children grew wide\u003cbr\u003ewith wonder as they listened to the story of the heroism of the\u003cbr\u003eSquire's son. But this was as nothing to what occurred later. \"Bob\"\u003cbr\u003eFavor was brought home one day to the house on the hill, pale and\u003cbr\u003eweak from wounds received in battle.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167528829168,"sku":"2940013802810","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013802810_p0.jpg?v=1763590466","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013802810","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
