"Your devoted and hen-pecked husband "P.S. I have written to father, and he will make all arrangements for Saturday. "P.P.S. Shall I be allowed to smoke in the drawing-room?" Margery Debenham leant out of the window and gazed at the garden and the orchard beyond.
The Duke of Debenham used to pay the Hamleys a respect due to 'em the oldest landowners in the county but since he died, and this shabby Whig lord has succeeded him, I've never dined at the lord lieutenant's once no, not once. 'But I think, sir, I've heard you say Lord Cumnor used to invite you, only you did not choose to go, said Roger. 'Yes. What d'ye mean by that?
In general they comprise the Geological exploration of the coast of Victoria Land. Your party will consist of Debenham, Gran, and Forde, and you will cross the Sound to Butter Point on or about October. You will depart from Butter Point with provision as under: 11 weeks' pemmican. 10 gallons oil. 18 weeks' remainder. 25 lb. cooking fat. and make along the coast to Granite Harbour.
Day, Taylor, Debenham, and Wright all contribute to the elaborate record of the bergs and ice features met with. 5 P.M. The wind has settled to a moderate gale from S.W. We went 2 1/2 miles this morning, then became jammed again. The effort has taken us well clear of the threatening bergs.
It is probably air borne, and though no bacteria have been found in the air, this may be carried in upper currents and brought down by the snow. If correct it is an interesting discovery. To-night Debenham gave a geological lecture. It was elementary. He gave little more than the rough origin and classification of rocks with a view to making his further lectures better understood.
It was the first time that such a thing had happened in Debenham, for the railway was but newly open, and we were all proportionately moved by the occurrence. "He's come," said the landlord, after he had filled and lighted his pipe. "He?" said I. "Who? not the doctor?" "Himself," replied our host. "What is his name?" "Doctor Macfarlane," said the landlord.
My other companion, John Debenham, has also been ill ever since our return, with an ulcerated leg, occasioned by the bites of insects, and which, at present, shews little disposition to heal. Saturday, 22. A sheep was killed this morning, one of whose hind quarters weighed four pounds and two ounces, and which, although not fat, was the largest native sheep we have yet met with.
Taylor's motto was "Advance, Australia!" most certainly he helped it to. People were always welcome in the Ubduggery, where they seemed to have an unlimited supply of cigarettes and good novels. Debenham was certainly nurse to the Ubdugs, that is to say he was the least untidy, but then of course he was the smallest.
The air is thick with snow. A close investigation of the motor axle case shows that repair is possible. It looks as though a good strong job could be made of it. Yesterday Taylor and Debenham went to Cape Royds with the object of staying a night or two. Sunday, October 22. The motor axle case was completed by Thursday morning, and, as far as one can see, Day made a very excellent job of it.
Sarah shot up a hand unconcernedly. "One for six," said Simpson, and went over to Miss Debenham to explain how he did it. "He must come off," said Archie. "We have a reputation to keep up. It's his left hand, of course, but we can't go round to all the spectators and explain that he can really bowl quite decent long hops with his right."
