Was there no gentlemanliness left in Damocles de Warrenne that he should even contemplate the doing of a deed at which his old comrades-in-arms, Bear, Burke, Jones, Little, Goate, Nemo and Peerson would stand aghast, would be ready to kick him out of a decent barrack-room and the poor demented creature called for a "boy," and ordered him to send, at once, for one Abdul Ghani who would, as usual, be found sleeping beside his camels in the market-place ...
Force's all filled up now mostly with 'Smart Aleck' kids, like Reddy, here, an'" he shot a glance of calculating invitation at his vis-a-vis, Hardy "'old sweats' from the Old Country Imperials." Artfully to start some trivial but decidedly inflammable barrack-room argument was one of Corporal Dave McCullough's pet diversions.
It does, however, contain a sentence in regard to one volume which we deem it just to his character to quote. He writes thus: It may be easily imagined that in a place where the accommodation of the principal engineer was so limited, that of the men was not extensive. Accordingly, we find that the barrack-room contained beds for twenty-one men.
My lady had a fine taste for building, and furniture, and playhouses, and she turned everything topsy-turvy, and made the barrack-room into a theatre, as she called it, and she went on as if she had a mint of money at her elbow; and to be sure I thought she knew best, especially as Sir Condy said nothing to it one way or the other.
Therefore suffice it to say that many a bold dragoon when he re-enters the barrack-room to get ready for church parade, has a wateriness about the eye and a knottiness in the tongue which tell of something stronger than the matutinal coffee.
I haven't read anything at all, except a bit of Kipling 'Barrack-room Ballads' seems a waste of time to read somehow." That his father had very little interest in literature Robin had discovered some time before, but that he should boast of it openly, laughingly was really rather terrible.
The Gurkhas walked into their camp, and in broken, barrack-room English strove to fraternize with them; offered them pipes of tobacco and stood them treat at the canteen.
"That pestilent English officer, if you please, M. le Juge," said the detective. "That fire-eating, swashbuckling soldier, with his blustering barrack-room ways. I long to come to close quarters with him. He ridiculed me, taunted me, said I knew nothing we will see, we will see." "In fact, you wish to interrogate him yourself. Very well. Let us have him in."
"Come outside," said Mulvaney, and as the occupants of the barrack-room prepared joyously to follow, he turned and said furiously, "There will be no fight this night onless any wan av you is wishful to assist. The man that does, follows on." No man moved. The three passed out into the moonlight, Learoyd fumbling with the buttons of his coat.
No setting aside the question of the possibility of living under the same roof with her and conquering the longing to marry. No he had some decency left, tainted as he doubtless was by his barrack-room life.
