"Can I do nothing to help?" she exclaimed. So contrite was her tone that Jenks was astonished. "Yes," he said, pointing to the dish-cover. "If you polish the top of that with your sleeve it will serve as a plate. Luncheon is ready." He neatly dished up two slices of ham on a couple of biscuits and handed them to her, with the clasp-knife. "I can depend on my fingers," he explained.
'If they dinna mak' me a corporal for this, I'll quit the service! Onyway, I'm no gaun wi'oot ye. Same time, I canna guarantee no to tak' ye to the German lines. But we maun risk that. Ye'll ha'e to leave yer rifle, but keep on the dish-cover till I gi'e ye the word. . . . Noo then! Nae hurry. I'll ha'e to creep the first part o' the journey. Are ye ready?

Master Waller, Martha's as nice as nice, but she's just as proud and stuck up about her cooking as her brother is about being constable. Ring when you have done, please."

There was a table-lamp, a dish-cover in German silver, and some enamelled cooking-utensils. Some one, too, had sent a little china figure of a child in swaddling-clothes, but had forgotten to attach his name. Ellen led Pelle out into the entry, in order to embrace him, but there stood Morten, taking off his things.
They all flew to the further end of the room, into the dark corner where I had placed the tray and the empty dish-cover.
