Once we heard a skylark, an English skylark, singing over No-Man's-Land! I scarcely know which gave me more pleasure, the song, or the sight of the faces of those English lads as they listened. I was deeply touched when one of them said: "Ain't 'e a plucky little chap, singin' right in front of Fritzie's trenches fer us English blokes?"
"And I've been finding out about doctors here," the young father went on, knitting his brows: "blokes, most of them, and such old blokes! I wouldn't trust Beatty to one of them. But I've heard of a new man at Hereford awfully good, they say a wunner! And after all a motor would soon run him out!"
"The Colonel laid his hand on my shoulder. "'McNab, says he, 'there's worse blokes than you sitting on thrones. They shall 'ave that red rocket. None the less, he remarked, 'the situation is undeniably getting a bit feverish. Trot out Red Rufus!
"You got to shift." The tone of Uncle Jim's voice became urgent and confidential. "You don't know who you're up against," he said. "It's a kindness I'm doing to warn you. See? I'm just one of those blokes who don't stick at things, see? I don't stick at nuffin'." Mr.
He gave me some cold pig, very excellent ham it was, too, for which I was very thankful. He watched my greediness with satisfaction. I ate heartily when I saw that my confident way with him had made him more tender towards me. "Yes," he snorted. "Per'aps you ain't been lying to me after all. Now 'ow long will these blokes be up the 'ill 'ere?"
When I said "Good-bye" to Skinny, he said, "It's a bleedin' shime that you 'arve to go, mite. Those bloomin' 'Eadquarter blokes doesn't know what they're doin' 'arf the time. It's blinkin' 'ard to lose both you and Mac, but 'up the line with the best of luck, old cock." But I must explain why I had to go. This did not sound very good to us, as the Ypres salient was known as a pretty hot place.
He kept a thing over his head all the time, as if he didn't want too much to be seen. 'What sort of a thing? 'Why, one of them cloak sort of things, like them Arab blokes used to wear what used to be at Earl's Court Exhibition, you know! This piece of information seemed to interest my companions more than anything he had said before. 'A burnoose do you mean?
You stay by yourselves, hand Hi won't 'ave 'em hinterfered wi' by nobuddy." "Your men," sneered Shorty. "You talk as if they was niggers, and not white men. Who made 'em yours?" "Stow yer wid, ye bloody blue-jack," returned the foreman contemptuously, "hand pull ha way from here. Hi never could bear sojers blokes, too lazy to work hand too cowardly to steal.
"That ain't no concern of yourn," said Billy. Then, suddenly correcting himself, he added, "Leastways it ain't no concern of these here two blokes. Mister, I say, governor, is it too late for to learn me to- night?" "Yes, it's too late to-night; but we'll have the school to-morrow instead. Where will you live while your mother's away?" "Oh, ain't you funny!" said the boy, with a grin.
After firing a couple of shots at full Random at her, to show that we meant Mischief if provoked, and one of which Shots, I believe, passed over her Taffrail, and killed a Black Servant and the Captain's Monkey, Captain Blokes boarded her in his Yall; examined the Master, and searched the Ship for Contraband of War; but not finding any save a suspicious quantity of salted Reindeer's Tongues, our Committee agreed that she could not be considered a lawful Prize; and not being willing to hinder time by carrying her into any Harbour for further Examination, we let her go without the least Embezzlement.
