He had fifteen hundred troopers who were simply praying for a chance to go at the Germans with cold steel, and he gave them the chance they wanted. Tossing away his cigarette and tightening the chin-strap of his busby, he trotted out in front of his men. "Right into line!" he bellowed.
To get him to lead, place him between you and a fence; keep abreast of his shoulder, and show the stick towards his croupe. When bridled tie a piece of string from eye to eye of the snaffle, so as to hang under the chin; fasten the long cord to this and lead him by it, and use him to be held by this chin-strap. By the common method, he is never held by the mouth till he is mounted.
The whole is secured to the head of the patient by a single chin-strap, and connection established with an ordinary galvanic battery by means of an appropriate clamp and insulated cord. The indifferent pole is applied over the sternum or other convenient point. Care should be taken not to employ too strong currents, as otherwise vertigo and other unpleasant symptoms may be produced.
You just seem to think that I can go off and get married to a man without knowing whether he cares for me or not. "And now it's too late. My hands are all dirty. So's my face filthy you mustn't " "I don't care. They're your hands. It's your face. I don't care." The chin-strap, the absurd chin-strap, fretted his mouth. He laughed.
Then he passed a little bottle to his brother, and Charles attended to the chin-strap mark that would have betrayed him a British officer in any light brighter than dusk. In a few minutes his whole face was darkened to one hue, and Charles stepped back to look at it. "Won't need to wash yourself for a month!" he said. "The dirt won't show!" He sniffed at the bottle.
I often think, however, that I must try and find another penalty, for when Tom's allowance of sugar is stopped he "requisitions" that of every one else, and so gets rather more than usual. He is immensely proud of the brass chin-strap of an old artillery bushy which has been given to him.
And then, when we had cautiously rounded a hummock at the top, my steel helmet was blown off not by a shrapnel, but by the wind! I had neglected to tighten the chin-strap. Immediately below us I could make out scars like earthquake cracks running across the meadows the front trenches. Both armies were buried like moles in these furrows.
I had reached the stage where one's hectic past is supposed to pass in mournful panorama across the mental vision, when the chin-strap of my helmet broke and the trace was released, jerking my head above the surface of the water with a force that nearly dislocated my neck.
He would telegraph Scotland Yard again, and, incidentally, demand an audience at the post office. No sooner had he entered the highroad than he saw P.C. Robinson on guard. That important person was standing on the bridge, apparently taking the air. He was nibbling the chin-strap of his helmet; both thumbs were locked in his belt. From that strategic position three roads came under observation.
Luckily, de Géry proposed to remain there only an hour or two, long enough to breathe, to rest his eyes from the glare of burnished silver and to free his heavy head from the helmet with the painful chin-strap that the sun had placed upon it.
