At 6-55 p.m., having vacated "A1" for the time, we blew the smaller of the two mines in order, it was said, to attract as many of the enemy as possible into his redoubt.
He was telling a tale of his own wrongs always a thrilling subject. It was his barge he was speaking about. "And 'e sent down word 'paint her inside hout, not namin' no colour, d'ye see? So I gets a lotter green paint and I paints her stem to stern, and I tell yer she looked A1. Then 'E comes along and 'e says, 'Wot yer paint 'er all one colour for? 'e says.
Francis at San Francisco for the first time, the other day, and, say, it certainly is a first-class place." "You're right, brother! The St. Francis is a swell place absolutely A1." "That's a fact. I'm right with you. It's a first-class place." "Yuh, but say, any of you fellows ever stay at the Rippleton, in Chicago?
What are we going to do with the fellow now we have created him? He will come home to roost mark my words. And as likely as not down the Vicarage chimney. I wouldn't have believed it of you, my dear fellow. He beamed, but looked, none the less, very lean and fagged and depressed. 'How did the wedding go off? Lawford managed to think of inquiring. 'Oh, A1, said Mr Bethany.
Well, while A is thus retreating say, from his old position at A1 on the foregoing diagram to such a position as A2, with Black swarming up to crush him the other corners of the square, B, C, and D, receive the order to "swing" that is, to go forward inclining to the left or the right according to the command given.
But none of us give our minds to stuff like this arter the glorious Christmas dinner that we'd quarried out of the Mary Auguster. Every man that wasn't on duty went below and turned in fur a snooze all 'cept me, an' I didn't feel just altogether satisfied. To be sure, I'd had an A1 dinner, an', though a little mixed, I'd never eat a jollier one on any Christmas that I kin look back at.

He came over and stood by the table, in spite of the physical effort which Emmy involuntarily made to will that he should not do so. Emmy's eyes grew tragic at his intimate, possessive manner in speaking to Jenny. "I say!" continued Alf, admiringly. "A new hat, is it? Smart! Looks absolutely A1. Real West End style, isn't it? Going to have some chiffong?" "Sit down, Alf."
I don't know him, not really know him, that is. But he's quite all right A1 in fact. And he's an example of what I've always maintained, that knowledge should be brought within the reach of all. It just shows. He was the son of a livery-stable keeper, you know, so what he'd have been if he'd really had chances, been to universities and so on, there's no knowing.
