"Our good-bye supper will be sloppy weather, all right;" said he. "Six going out." "No," answered Tom, "it won't be a drunk to-night, Cap. You haven't been in long enough.
Meantime the army, disappointed, discontented, half-starved, unpaid, passed their days and nights as before, in the sloppy trenches, while deep and earnest were the complaints and the curses which succeeded to the momentary exultation of Christmas eve.
I suppose I'm sloppy ... the Fabians used to say so at Cambridge ... but I prefer the spectacle of a family round its own table to the spectacle of a crowd of assorted youngsters round a municipal school table!
