The Australian team of Brookes, Patterson, R. V. Thomas, and Randolph Lycett journeyed home to the Antipodes by way of America to compete in the American Championship. Meanwhile R. N. Williams, W. M. Johnston, and Maurice E. M'Loughlin were demobilized, and were again on the courts. The American Championships assumed an importance equal to that of the Wimbledon event.
The Saxons were spending their summer holidays at a farm near the seaside, and for the first time in four long years the whole family was reunited. Mr. Saxon, Egbert, and Athelstane had only just been demobilized, and had hardly yet settled down to civilian life.

You see, Jupiter hasn't got demobilized yet, and " The flower of Diana's eloquence suddenly withered and dried up as if electrocuted.
"Yes, at the town where I was demobilized, I couldn't get anything else," stammered Andrews. "Oh, you're demobilized, are you? That's why you've been away so long. Monsieur Valters said he didn't know where you were.... It's better that way, isn't it?" "Yes," said Andrews, starting up the stairs. "Monsieur Valters is in now," went on the old woman, talking after him.
"I had to come and tell you. Tommy, old thing I'm demobilized!" It was one of Mrs. Mark Rainham's grievances that, comparatively late in her married life, she should suddenly find herself brought into association with the children of her husband's first marriage.
