Under Two Flags (novel)

''Under Two Flags'' (1867) was a best-selling novel of the late 1860s by Ouida. Perhaps "her best" novel.〔http://www.ulib.niu.edu/badndp/ramee_louise.html〕
==Plot==
The novel is about The Hon. Bertie Cecil (nicknamed ''Beauty of the Brigades'').〔http://fp.arizona.edu/mesassoc/Bulletin/35-2/35-2Driss.htm〕〔The Forgotten Female Aesthetes: Literary Culture in Late-Victorian England, by Talia. Schaffer; pp. x + 298. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press〕
In financial distress because of his own profligacy and the loss of an important horse-race on which he has bet extensively, and falsely accused of forgery, but unable to defend himself against the charge without injuring the "honour" of a lady and also exposing his younger brother (the real culprit), Cecil fakes his own death and exiles himself to Algeria where he joins the ''Chasseurs d'Afrique'', a regiment comprising soldiers from various countries, rather like the French Foreign Legion.

After Cecil's great childhood friend and the friend's beautiful sister show up in Africa, and after a series of melodramatic self-sacrifices by Cecil and by the young girl Cigarette, a "child of the Army" who sacrifices her life saving Cecil from a firing squad, the main conflicts are resolved and the surviving characters return to England to fortune, title, and love.
