"You have certainly broken everything else," said his father unsympathetically. "Between you and Baxter, I wonder there's a stick of furniture standing in the house." "Thanks, old chap," said Freddie gratefully as Ashe stepped forward and lent him an arm. "I think my bally ankle must have got twisted. I wish you would give me a hand up to my room."
"It's my own funeral funeral?" he paused "Perhaps it may be who knows? feel queer enough but remember, Duke it's my own fault don't listen to those bally fools," looking towards Moore and the doctor. "My own fault" his voice died down "my own fault." The Duke bent over him and laid him back on the pillow, saying, "Thanks, old chap, you're good stuff. I'll not forget.
'Hello, mate! cried someone beyond in the shadows. 'Hello, there! 'Plenty o' water 'bout? 'A creek down to the left. 'Right-o! We'll camp here, Stony. Woa, Strawberry! Woa, there, Spot! Bally!

Not for me," Bert Hooper was saying. "I won't join the crowd if Billy is going. Do you fellows suppose I'm going to have my holiday all spoiled, and not get any game, all because you want Billy?
