'I'm going to cut your comb. And he took the old horse by head, and rammed him at us slap-bang, like riding at a bull-finch; and the whole blanky lot after him." The Parson was stamping up and down, roaring out his story, his eyes laughing and battle-lusty. "Such a hell of a hugger-mugger you never saw! They rolled in on us like the sea.
I'm coming to it at last: old Bob Halliday that's been through it from the beginning, one o' the Old Contemptibles, come down to be mothered and hushaby-baby'd by a blanky recruit, with the first polish hardly off his new buttons."
"The chicken died what I gave the mixture to," explained Anderson. Dickson scowled and felt himself, for as far as he could reach up and down his spine. "I'm pretty certain the rheumatics 're comin' back," he murmured. "Wow!" he gasped, as a bad twinge took him. "It is back!" "Tell yeh what," Anderson remarked plaintively, "we've been done." "He's a blanky fraud!" "A robber!"
Jim took off his hat and 'shoved' it round, and 'bobs' were 'chucked' into it. The result was about thirty shillings. Jack glanced contemptuously into the crown of the hat.

At last I couldn't drink another teaspoonful without holding back my head, and then I couldn't keep it down, but had to let it run back into the blanky cup again.

I'd ha gone through a world without women for its sweet sake, blest if I wouldn't.... And now," came the voice in a sort of chant, "avin lived like a blanky King I'm goin to die like a blanky cro. Arry the Magnificent always and for h'ever!" Old Ding-Dong lay as the boy had left him. "Got them round-shot?" hoarsely. "Yes, sir." "Stuff em in my tails then." The boy obeyed.
'Not a blanky, lurid deener! drawled Bill. Jim drew his reluctant hands from the cards, his eyes went slowly and hopelessly round the room and out the door. There was something in the eyes of both, except when on the card-table, of the look of a man waking in a strange place. 'Got anything? asked Jim, fingering the cards again.
At the gap in a hedge, where the column turned off into a sort of mud lake, stood an officer whose kindly eyes were puckered from the glare of the central Australian sun. You could have told they were Australians at a mile's distance. He looked at them with a queer smile. "Are you the Scottish Horse?" he asked inquiringly. "We are the blanky camel corps," was the answer.
I noticed that Stiffner was limping on his right foot this morning, so I said to him: "What's up with your foot?" putting my hand in my pocket. "Oh, it's a crimson nail in my boot," he said. "I thought I got the blanky thing out this morning; but I didn't."
