Our noble craft had by this time got a good list on her from our collected cargo ill stowed. This made my home, the bamboo staging, about as reposeful a place as the slope of a writing desk would be if well polished; and the rough and choppy sea gave our vessel the most peculiar set of motions imaginable.
Then with set faces, grim with determination, we resigned ourselves to the fate that awaited us on the battlefields of France. Reaching Boulogne, after a rather choppy voyage, our car conveyed us to G.H.Q., which we reached late in the evening. The following morning I was told to leave for La Gorgue, to film scenes connected with the Guards' Division.
A breeze had sprung up and the bay was a little choppy, so we splashed and bumped along at no great speed. Mr. Daddles did not pay much attention to the management of his long oar, but got into a discussion with Jimmy about what they would buy with their share of the treasure. Jimmy said his first choice would be a sailing yacht. Next, after that, he thought he should buy a steam-yacht. Mr.
But now we are approaching the narrower part of the Channel and the sea is getting choppy. I shall have to give up my jottings for a while. Still later: F finally picked a spot she considered suitable the remains of a small harbor and we anchored. I must say she was overfussy one cove is pretty much the same as another these days. Possibly she was so choosy in order to heighten her importance.
"I suppose, too, you are a good practical sailor that is, you understand seamanship, if you have travelled much?" I do not know why I said that, for it sounded foolish to me afterwards. "Pretty well," she replied. "I can manage a sail; I know the argot, I could tell the shrouds from the bulwarks, and I've rowed a boat in a choppy sea." "It is not an accomplishment usual to your sex."
Soon the going began to be less rough; the choppy motion of the cutter seemed to indicate that we were on fall-ploughed land; and not much later Peter gave a snort. We were apparently nearing a group of buildings. I heard the heavy thump of galloping horses, and a second later I saw a light which moved. I hailed the man; and he came over and answered my questions.
We fairly flew over the short, choppy sea, getting drenched with the flying spray, but looking out far more keenly at the other boats than at the whale. Up we came to him, Mr. Count's boat to the left, the other mate's boat to the right.
'What for will you? 'Oh! you women! Are you a little innocent, Hazel? Or are you a d d clever woman? 'I dunno. But I canna come no more. 'Won't, you mean. Very well. 'What'n you mean, saying "very well" so choppy? 'I mean that if a man chooses to see a woman, see her he will. It's his place to find ways. It's her privilege to hide if she likes, or do any d d thing she likes.
"Bit choppy, I suppose, what?" he bellowed, in a voice that ran up and down Lady Underhill's nervous system like an electric needle. "I was afraid you were going to have a pretty rough time of it when I read the forecast in the paper. The good old boat wobbled a bit, eh?" Lady Underhill uttered a faint moan. Freddie noticed that she was looking deucedly chippy, even chippier than a moment ago.
You would have said that these two boys came from the same ancestral stock when you saw their cheeks. These had a well-filled look, as if padded for Thanksgiving. This peculiarity of feature gave the cousins special titles in whose selection the boy-instinct for nicknames had shown its unerring accuracy of aim. One was "Choppy," and the other, Billy, was "Cousin Choppy."
