Cockerell inquired for the book it was sold. After Miss Savage's death in 1885 all Butler's letters to her were returned to him, including the letter he wrote when he sent her this copy of Erewhon. He gave her the first copy issued of all his books that were published in her lifetime, and, no doubt, wrote an inscription in each.
"Where have you come from?" inquired the Major, turning a curious eye upon Cockerell's prostrate followers. Cockerell explained When he had finished, he added wistfully "I suppose you have not got an odd tin or two of bully to give away, sir? My fellows are about " For answer, the Major took the Lieutenant by the arm and led him towards the lorry.
To Colonel Kemp and his Adjutant Cockerell, ensconced in a dug-out thirty feet deep, furnished with a real bed, electric-light fittings, and ornaments obviously made in Germany, entered Major Wagstaffe, encrusted with mud, but as imperturbable as ever. He saluted. "Good-morning, sir. You seem to have struck a cushie little home time." "Yes.
"I can't tell you, sir," added Cockerell humbly, "what a fool I feel." But the apology referred to an entirely different matter. It is just one year to-day since we "came oot." A year plays havoc with the "establishment" of a battalion in these days of civilised warfare.
At present he is too demoralised to attempt anything beyond intermittent machine-gun fire." Colonel Kemp turned to Cockerell. "Get Captain Little on the telephone," he said, "and tell him, if the enemy displays any disposition to counter-attack, to let me know at once."

Northcote's pictures to the new church at Pimlico, built by Mr. Hakewill, and to the chapel built by Mr. Cockerell, in the upper part of Regent-street. A very valuable musical manuscript, by Guillaume de Machault, who was valet de chambre to Phillippe-le-Bel, in 1307, has been discovered in the royal library at Paris.
The door was opened by a pleasant-faced young woman of about thirty, who greeted Cockerell tartan is always popular with French ladies with a beaming smile, but shook her head regretfully upon seeing the billet de logement in his hand. The inevitable duet with Alphonso followed. Presently Alphonso turned to his superior. "Madame is ver' sorry, sair, but an officier is here already."
Before I knew where I was the fellow in charge called them to attention and then gave 'Eyes right!" "What did you do?" asked Struthers anxiously. "I hadn't time to do anything except grin, and say, 'Good morning!" confessed Bobby Little. "You were perfectly right," announced Struthers, and Cockerell murmured assent. "Are you sure?" persisted Bobby Little.
"Twenty," replied Cockerell. He was too tired to feel as ashamed as he usually did at having to confess to the tenderness of his years. The Major nodded thoughtfully. "Yes," he said; "I judged that would be about the figure. My son would have been twenty this month, only he was at Neuve Chapelle. He was very like you in appearance very. His mother would have been interested to meet you.
