His mother's ayah called him Willie-Baba, but as he never paid the faintest attention to anything that the ayah said, her wisdom did not help matters. His father was the Colonel of the 195th, and as soon as Wee Willie Winkie was old enough to understand what Military Discipline meant, Colonel Williams put him under it. There was no other way of managing the child.
Very early the next morning he climbed on to the roof of the house that was not forbidden and beheld Miss Allardyce going for a ride. 'Where are you going? cried Wee Willie Winkie. 'Across the river, she answered, and trotted forward. Now the cantonment in which the 195th lay was bounded on the north by a river dry in the winter.
He needed the advice himself, for ten minutes later, when his father came up, he was weeping bitterly with his head in Miss Allardyce's lap. And the men of the 195th carried him home with shouts and rejoicings; and Coppy, who had ridden a horse into a lather, met him, and, to his intense disgust, kissed him openly in the presence of the men. But there was balm for his dignity.
Generally he was bad, for India offers many chances of going wrong to little six-year-olds. Children resent familiarity from strangers, and Wee Willie Winkie was a very particular child. Once he accepted an acquaintance, he was graciously pleased to thaw. He accepted Brandis, a subaltern of the 195th, on sight.

'And nobody not even Coppy must go acwoss ve wiver, and I came after you ever so hard, but you wouldn't stop, and now you've hurted yourself, and Coppy will be angwy wiv me, and I've bwoken my awwest! I've bwoken my awwest! The future Colonel of the 195th sat down and sobbed. In spite of the pain in her ankle the girl was moved. 'Have you ridden all the way from cantonments, little man?
