He grinned broadly, cut in the pump clutch and hurriedly limped across the yard to the kitchen. "Hey, Johnny," he called, "did you put that milk o' Sally's into a gas can?" Johnny leaned through the open kitchen window. "Yeh, why?"
Now a saucepan of cold broth was at his lips; and not till he had drunk all did he run after Hogarth into the other arm of the ward, where one of the keys unlocked the door at its end, and they passed out into the infirmary exercise-hall, now dark, Hogarth dragging the Cockney, who limped, and kept up a prattle of tipsy ribaldries.

He must keep moving until he found a shelter. If he didn't he would freeze. So whimpering and whining, Bowser limped along. Bowser was not afraid to be out at night as some folks are. Goodness, no! In fact, on many a moonlight night Bowser had hunted Reddy Fox or Granny Fox all night long. Never once had he felt lonesome then. But now it was very, very different.
Some one, a woman, sat beneath the big sunshade, reading a newspaper. A Belgian police dog posed at the top of the steps, as rigid as if shaped of stone, regarding the passer-by who limped.

"We'll take the word to the station!" said the Captain promptly.
Quarrelled no; I dare say she likes him better now than ever she did before." And Saville limped away to the table. Godolphin remained for some time abstracted and thoughtful.

"Hurry in to the table, you fellows," called Danny. "Williams, come here and let me see that knee of yours." "It's all right now, Danny," said Williams. But he limped across and was freshly bandaged.
