But come, friends, the victuals be coolin', and the mouth loves a warm morsel." "I am certain," said the man, as they were partaking of the repast, "that I never tasted a piece of venison so finely flavored before." "I've cooked the meat for nigh on to sixty year," answered the trapper, "and have larnt not to spoil the sweetness of natur' by overdoin' it.
Anything further removed from instinct it were hard to fancy; and one is even stirred to a certain impatience with a character so destitute of spontaneity, so passionless in justice, and so priggishly obedient to the voice of reason. There are not many dogs like this good Coolin. and not many people. But the type is one well marked, both in the human and the canine family.
"But what else?" urged Coolin. "Nothin' about a drame at all?" "Who's talkin' about dreams!" said Bagshot. 'E wasn't no bloomin' poet. 'E was a man. What 'e said 'e said like a man. 'E said 'e'd got word from Mary which is proper that a man should do when 'e's a-chuckin' of 'is tent-pegs. If 'e ain't got no mother an' Connor 'adn't 'is wife or 'is sweetheart 'as the honour."
Thrue it is, Coolin, that the hand uv mortial man has an ugly way uv squazin' a woman's heart dry whin, at last, to his coaxin' she lays it tinder an' onsuspectin' on the inside grip uv it." "But the heart uv Mary Haggarty, Connor?" "'Twas loike a flower under y'r fut, Coolin, an' a heavy fut is to you. She says to me wan day, 'Ye're breakin' me heart, William Connor, says she.
"What was it ye dramed again, Coolin? Was there anything but the dramin' anny noise, or sound, or spakin'?" Coolin lied freely, for to disturb William Connor was little enough compensation for being held back at Suakim while the Berkshires and the Sikhs were off for a scrimmage in the desert.
Coolin had been drafted into the Commissariat and was now variously employed, but chiefly at the Sandbag Redoubt, where the condensing ship did duty, sometimes at the southeast end of the harbour where the Indian Contingent watered. Coolin hated the duty, and because he was in a bitter mood his tongue was like a leaf of aloe.
She shlipped an' snatched at the spinifex. Wan minnit she held, an' thin slid down, down into the say. An' I woke callin' 'Mary Mary' in me throat." "Ye dramed it wance only, Connor?" said Coolin, with the insolent grin gone out of his eyes. "I dramed it three times, an' the last time, whin I waked, I felt a cold wind go over me.
Thin a hand touched me face the same as you, Coolin, the same as you. Drames are thrue things, Coolin." "It was thrue, thin, Connor?" A look of shame and a curious look of fear crept into Coolin's face; for though it was not true he had dreamed of the hand on his face and the cold wind blowing over him, it was true he had dreamed he saw Connor lying on the ground with a bullet-hole in his tunic.
There was a collision, but it was the agreeable collision of preparation for a fight, for it was ordained that the Berkshires and the Sikhs should go shoulder to shoulder to establish a post in the desert between Suakim and Tamai. "D'ye hear that, William Connor dear?" said Private Coolin when the orders came.
We want to know the character which is behind all the personalities. Above all we want to know its foibles. If we had only a hint of some weakness we might make a plan. 'Well, let's set down all we know, I cried, for the more I argued the keener I grew. I told them in some detail the story of the night in the Coolin and what I had heard there. 'There's the two names Chelius and Bommaerts.
