'Of course you may but you are not content with that. 'Yes indeed I will be content 'It's foolish to say so. Haven't you broken the understanding three or four times? The bus stopped for a passenger, a man, who mounted to the top. 'I am so sorry, murmured Bullivant, as the starting horses jolted them together. 'I try not to worry you. Think of my position.
Bullivant happened to be going the same way. 'Oh, very well! I thought you was to be trusted. It's nothing to me 'You behave very foolishly, Miss Eade, exclaimed the other, whose nerves at this moment would not allow her to use patience with the jealous girl. 'I can only tell you that I have never thought again of Mr. Bullivant since he left the bus somewhere in Clapham Road.
Major Bullivant inquired whether he couldn't be selected for the next gunnery course at Shoeburyness. Major Veasey thought it time another captain relieved Drysdale as liaison officer with the Infantry Brigade. And all the time there were routine papers and returns to be looked through and signed.
'What a great fellow! What was his name? I asked. Sir Walter did not answer at once. He was looking out of the window. 'His name, he said at last, 'was Harry Bullivant. He was my son. God rest his brave soul! The Gathering of the Missionaries I wrote out a wire to Sandy, asking him to come up by the two-fifteen train and meet me at my flat. 'I have chosen my colleague, I said.
"That man is a pedantic jackass," whispered Mr. Hemlock to his friend. "And yet he hasn't a bad head for a bust!" rejoined Mr. Bullivant.

Also, while Major Veasey, Major Simpson, and Major Bullivant were standing talking, a British soldier, pushing a bicycle, passed along the road. Following him, sometimes breaking into a run to keep up, came a plump, soft-faced German boy in infantry uniform, the youngest German I had seen in France. "Why, he's only a kid," said Major Veasey. "He can't be more than sixteen."
Some of the younger officers and a few of the N.C.O.'s had made a long lorry trip to Abbeville to replace worn-out clothes. Major Bullivant and the adjutant had borrowed a car to search for almost forgotten mess luxuries; and coming back had given a lift to a curé, who in the dark put his foot in the egg-box, smashing twenty of the eggs. There had been the booby-trap in the blown-up dug-out.

I've found out the meaning of the second word that Harry Bullivant scribbled. 'Cancer? I asked. 'Yes. It means just what it reads and no more. Greenmantle is dying has been dying for months.
Gimble tried it, and Bullivant wanted to; but Blyth wouldn't let him; and I mean to give her oh, by the bye, I have another important caution for you." Here he indulged himself in a fresh burst of laughter, excited by the remembrance of his interview with Mrs. Peckover, in Mr. Blyth's hall.
