The Monk had done the least work that day, and was the staunchest horse, indeed the only one capable of more than walking, so I despatched Godfrey to surprise the camp, whilst we followed. He rode right on to the tribe, and was accorded a warmish welcome, one buck casting his spear with great promptitude. Luckily his aim was poor and the spear passed by Godfrey's head.
'See? he said sarcastically. 'Everyone at 'ome is wonderin', an' doesn't like this "all quiet" business. I wish everyone at 'ome, including this uncle o' mine, 'ad been up in the trenches to-day. 'Have a lively time? asked the Number One. 'We had some warmish spells back here. They had the range to a dot, and plastered us enthusiastic with six- an' eight-inch Johnsons an' H.E. shrapnel.
"Put in one warmish dress for cool days, and leave the rest. They can be sent on if Johnnie decides to stay." Papa looked so droll and gave such a large wink at the word "if," that Katy and Clover felt their hearts lighten surprisingly, and finished the packing in better spirits. The good-by, however, was a sorry affair.
"Then bring it in, and mind you don't spill any." Enter Robert, in a suit of armour and a black mask, carrying a large caldron, from which the steam rose in great clouds. "Now, sir, if you please," said the executioner politely to Arnold of Melchthal. Arnold looked at the caldron. "Why, it's hot," he said. "Warmish," admitted the executioner. "It's against the law to threaten a man with hot oil."
"Running with the race," said Gilks. "I couldn't dissuade him. He's gone daft over the thing." Silk laughed. "I'm afraid it'll be a blow to him, then. Young fool. I say, he was at his father confessor's last night. I wonder if he'll let out about Saturday night?" "Not he. That is," said Gilks, viciously, "I don't think he will." "Well, it might be warmish for him if he did."
"I was goin' mackerellin' with ye myself that time, only I wrinched my wrist so." "We was out on deck together," Luther continued. "I was lying down, it was a strange, warmish sort of a night and Willie played. He played a long time. It was just in the middle of a tune he was playin', that snap! the string went in just that way. I never thought anything about it.
It is to be dipped in boiling water, and then wrung out until it is as dry as we can get it. Then you are wrapped in that, and then rolled in five or six dry blankets to keep in the heat. You will keep in that until you feel almost weak with sweating; then I take you out and sponge you with warmish water, and then wrap you in another dry blanket." "You had better sponge me with vinegar, John."
From orifices on the tops of these mounds there are thrown out sometimes jets of warmish water and mud mixed with bitumen, sometimes bubbles of gas, chiefly carbonic acid and carburetted hydrogen, occasionally pure nitrogen. The mud ejected has often a strong sulphurous smell.
"Very warmish," said Gilks, with a scowl, which it was just as well for Wyndham's comfort he did not see. There was a silence, during which Gilks whistled to himself, and Silk regarded his ally with a smile. "You are a nice boy!" he broke out presently. And the laugh which greeted this very unoriginal observation closed the conversation for a time.
"It's a warmish bit o' work, that hallygro," said old Fuller, in milder self-gratulation, as he disposed his 'cello between his knees, and mopped his bald forehead. "A warmish bit o' work it is." "Come, now," said Sennacherib, "d'ye think as it could be beat? A civil answer to a civil question is no more than a beggar's rights, and no less than a king's obligingness."
