Ninian, who had already induced one of the porters to describe a thrilling fox-hunt in which the fox took to the river and was killed, after a hard struggle, in the water, nodded his head and said "Righto!" "Let's walk up and down," Henry said to Mary, and they walked towards the end of the platform. "It's been awf'lly nice here!" he added. "Yes, hasn't it?" she replied.
He's a regular demon to make fellows work. It's pretty rough on the stations sometimes." "Ah! yes; awf'lly rough, I believe. Quite frightened me, what I heard of it, don't you know. Still, I suppose one must expect to rough it a bit. Eh, what!" "Charlie Gordon will he here in a minute," said the Bo'sun. "He can tell you all about it.
But I switched off the light and shut the door. My knees were weak, and I felt awf'lly queer in the head. I was crazy to get away from the place, but I couldn't seem to have the power to move. I leaned against the door, weak and limp as a small puppy. Then I heard some one comin' up the stairs, and I knew I mustn't be caught there.
He realised that he had gripped the actresses by the hand and that he was holding them very tightly.... "I beg your pardon!" he said, releasing them. "Awf'lly good!" said one of the actresses, smiling at him as she moved across the stage. How horrible actors and actresses in their make-up looked close to!
I've just had a telegram, and I'm going back to-night!..." "I'm awf'lly sorry, Quinny!" Gilbert said, quickly sympathetic. "I met Jimphy at Charing Cross. He's in khaki. He took me back to tea. Cecily's making mittens!..." "She would," said Gilbert. "She told me to tell you to go and see her!" "Did she, indeed?" "You'll stay here, I suppose," Henry went on, "until you're called up?"
They did not speak for a few moments until he remembered that time was fleeting. "It's an awf'lly nice day," he said, and licked his lips. "Yes, isn't it?..." "Awf'lly nice," he continued and broke off lamely.
"Yes, Quinny?" "Oh, I say, Mary!..." "Yes?..." "I'd like to marry you awf'lly, if you don't mind!" It was out ... oh, Lord, it was out!... "Oh, I should love it, Quinny," said Mary, looking up at him and smiling. "Would you really!" "Yes. Of course, I would. Let's tell Ninian and Widger!..." Her suggestion alarmed him.
"Awf'lly glad to see you, Virginia; this is very jolly; hello, Cuyp! How are you, Colonel Vetchen oh! how do you do, Mr. Classon!" as the latter came trotting down the path, twirling a limber walking-stick. "How-dee-do! How-dee-do!" piped Courtlandt Classon, with a rickety abandon almost paternal; and, replying literally, Hamil admitted his excellent physical condition.
Henry went away to do as Gilbert had bidden him, and after a while, he returned with a big packet of sandwiches and apples. "I shan't wait, Gilbert," he said. "I can't stand about all day. I'll come back when the rush is over...." "But why, Quinny?" "I'm going to join, too, with you!..." "You're going to join?... That's awf'lly decent of you, Quinny!" "Decent! Why?
