Higginson was coming with me, but as you know he's crocked up and won't be out of bed for a month. My proposal is that you come in his place, and that instead of crossing France in the orthodox way by the Seine, we try to work through from Bordeaux by the Garonne. I don't know if we can do it, but it would be rather fun trying.
"We limbered up, our battery did, and got the guns off in column of route, but we were more like a blooming ambulance than a battery. We had our limbers and waggons chock full o' details fellers who'd been wounded or crocked up. And reservists wi' sore feet out o' training, I reckon," he added magisterially. "Never you mind about resarvists, my son," interjected a man in the Suffolks.
"Good man," he said, when Clowes came in, "you saved the match." "And lost the Ripton match probably," said Clowes, gloomily. "What do you mean?" "That last time I brought down Barry I crocked him. He's in his study now with a sprained ankle. I've just come from there. Oakes has seen him, and says he mustn't play for a fortnight." "Great Scott!" said Trevor, blankly. "What on earth shall we do?"
It's only my opinion. Still, it's a little queer. Stanning says he crocked his left wrist in the final of the House Competition." "Well, what's wrong with that? Why shouldn't he have done so?" Sheen objected strongly to Stanning, but he had the elements of justice in him, and he was not going to condemn him on insufficient evidence, particularly of a crime of which he himself had been guilty.
"Wanted to roll me," said the other, "but I learned him something." It may not be credited, but at this moment I found myself examining the beast and saying: "He's crocked himself up, sir he's gone tender at the heel." I knew perfectly, it must be understood, that this was silly, and yet I further added, "I fancy he's picked up a stone."
"They're playing Geddington. Only it's away. There's a second match on." "Why aren't you Hullo, I didn't see. What have you been doing to yourself?" "Crocked my wrist a bit. It's nothing much." "How did you do that?" "Slipped while I was changing after cricket." "Hurt?" "Not much, thanks." "Doctor seen it?" "No. But it's really nothing. Be all right by Monday." "H'm. Somebody ought to look at it.
'As bad as anything I ever struck. Don't mind telling you now, Ken, that I was in a blue funk. 'You didn't show it, Ken answered rather breathlessly. 'If you had, I believe I should have crocked. 'You didn't, anyhow. That's the main thing. And I wouldn't ask a better man to go climbing with. You kept your head, and did what you were told. Well, now I think the worst is over.
Which brings us to the Canadian training camp and Ted Holiday. Captain Annersley had been asked as he had told Larry to speak to the boys. He had done so, given a little straight talk of what lay ahead of them and what they were fighting for, bade them get in a few extra licks for him since he was out of it for good, done for, "crocked." In conclusion he had begged them give the Huns hell.
The beast simply jumped on him like a Hooligan. Anyhow, I made him sit up a bit before we finished. I gave Prescott the tip to mark him out of touch. Have you ever been collared by Prescott? It's a liberal education. Now, there you are, you see. Take Prescott. He's never crocked a man seriously in his life. I don't count being winded. That's absolutely an accident. Well, there you are, then.
This is probably because they can browse out a living where the Durham and Devon would starve. The sheep in this region are chiefly the old Scotch breed, with curling horns and crocked faces and legs, such as are represented in old pictures. The black seems to be spattered upon them, and looks as if the heather would rub it off. The wool is long and coarse, giving them a goat-like appearance.
