In a body they visited the neighbouring stations, and played havoc with the sheep all over the district. The wretched owner was constantly getting fiery letters from his neighbours: "Your blanky rams are here. Come and take them away at once," and he would have to go nine or ten miles to drive them home. Any man who has tried to drive rams on a hot day knows what purgatory is.
"You can go on picking-up in this man's place," he said to the jackeroo, whose reference showed him to be a non-union man a "free-labourer", as the pastoralists had it, or, in plain shed terms, "a blanky scab". He was now in the comfortable position of a non-unionist in a union shed who had jumped into a sacked man's place.
Next time he tries to bring his rubbish in here you tell him to get to blanky blazes with it! See?" "Righto! I'll do that." Mac was not soaked in military etiquette, but he rather hesitated, when the Captain-Quartermaster brought some gear to stow, to instruct him to go to blanky hell with his blanky, etc., etc.
I'll ride the blanky horse for a fiver, and I'll feel the blanky quids in my pocket before I get on. Meanwhile the coach had dashed up to the door of the shanty. There were about twenty passengers aboard inside, on the box-seat, on the tail-board, and hanging on to the roof most of them Sydney men going up to the Mudgee races.
Jim Bently smoked and burnt paper during his shift below, and grumbled a good deal. 'Blowed if I ever thought I'd be rooting for gold down among the blanky dead men, he said. But the dirt panned out better every dish they washed, and Dave worked the 'wash' out right and left as they drove.
"My Link don't often go on like that, and when he does he has good reason. See here, young gentlemen, what did you have to do with the purloining of my man-monkey Saturday night?" Bill protested fiercely. "Never put a hand on yer blanky monkey. Wouldn't touch him with er forty-foot pole." "Well, he as good as says you did." Bill grinned.
So on the occasions when Captain O'Grady violated the sanctity of the fodder-room by stowing there some of his infantry equipment, the Vet would angrily demand: "Mac! What's that blanky stuff doing there? Is that some more of O'Grady's blanky rubbish?" "Yes. He said you said he " "I don't care a blank what he said. Heave his blanky stuff out of here. O'Grady and his blanky stuff can go to hell.
In the same breath he told him that he was a gentleman, that a messenger's life was practically that of a blanky slave, and that a young man of spirit who wished to add to his already large fortune would have a bit on Giant Gooseberry for the City and Suburban. He then paused for a reply. Now, all through the day George had been assailed by a steady stream of determined ear-biters.
But when they reached the seventh can the language was not even fit to be written down on a piece of paper and handed up to the magistrate. The storekeeper had sent them an unbroken case of canned plum pudding, and probably by this time he was wondering what had become of that blanky case of duff.
"No, of course you didn't," said Mitchell, "and none of the sex problemers ever will unless they get as far as `blanky. You might have made the snore cure him; did it?" "No, it was making things worse in my idea of the yarn. He fell back and lay staring at the ceiling in a hopeless kind of a way."
