He stroked the kitten, and the little creature woke up to excessive fondness and purring. "You want some milk," said Bert. "That's what you want. And I could do with a bit of brekker too." He yawned and stood up, with the kitten on his shoulder, and stared about him, recalling the circumstances of the previous day, the grey, immense happenings. "Mus' do something," he said.
The worst of it was that Dennison wasn't very well, and was having a pick-me-up with his brekker. He wasn't in bed until four this morning, so it's no wonder he didn't look very fit." On the following afternoon Dennison left Oxford; he was not sent down by the dons, but had to go for the simple reason that his father said he would not let him stay any longer.
We've all dreamed we found a Sand-fairy." Her voice died away before Cyril's contemptuous glance. "Dream?" he said; "you little sillies, it's true. I tell you it all happened. That's why I'm so keen on being down early. We'll go up there directly after brekker, and have another wish.
In fact, I never remember the weather being at all like that in the winter except on that one day. Of course we all went into the garden directly after brekker. But there are. And not just evergreens either. Wallflowers and pansies and snapdragons and primroses, and lots of things, keep green all the year unless it's too frosty. And it was so warm we were able to sit in the summer-house.
Look 'ere," he added, "I'll chop you enough to last fatigues for a month, and you put 'em somewhere in the meantime," and in ten minutes, mark you, there was a pile that rejoiced my heart. He was a "Bird," that man, and no mistake. After brekker was over the first thing that had to be done before anything else was to get one's 'bus running and in order for the day.
Lady Hannah's laugh jangled out over the capacious tray, containing the comprehensive assortment of viands representing what the invalid was wont to term his "brekker." "But I'm not to be deprived of my privilege, for all that. Do you suppose you young married creatures are the only wives who enjoy cosseting their husbands?
And one day in the week, when there's a divisional field-day, it's half-past four. It's hardly worth while going to sleep at all. Still, it isn't so bad as it used to be. The first year I came to camp we used to have to do a three hours' field-day before brekker. We used to have coffee before it, and nothing else till it was over. By Jove, you felt you'd had enough of it before you got back.
"Come on, Robert," it said, "you'll be late for breakfast again unless you mean to shirk your bath as you did on Tuesday." "I say, come here a second," Robert replied; "I didn't shirk it; I had it after brekker in father's dressing-room because ours was emptied away." Cyril appeared in the doorway, partially clothed. "Look here," said Anthea, "we've all had such an odd dream.
"By the Living Tinker!" asseverates Captain Bingo, jerked out of his reclining attitude by vigorous utterance of the expletive, "you could have bowled me over with a scent-squirter when I came back to brekker and found her gone, and a cocked-hat note of farewell left for me on the dressing-table pincushion, in regular elopement style; and another for the Chief, sayin' he read it to me that she'd gone to retrieve the Past, with a capital 'P, and hoped to convince him ere long that one of her despised sex underlined, 'despised sex' can be useful to her country."
'Come on, Robert, it said, 'you'll be late for breakfast again unless you mean to shirk your bath like you did on Tuesday. 'I say, come here a sec, Robert replied. 'I didn't shirk it; I had it after brekker in father's dressing-room, because ours was emptied away. Cyril appeared in the doorway, partially clothed. 'Look here, said Anthea, 'we've all had such an odd dream.
