"Their only chance, I suppose, of getting to the bottom of it is to lie doggo as far as possible. It isn't like a police affair, you see. They don't want witnesses and a court of justice. One man's word and a rifle barrel does the trick." Julian sighed. "I suppose," he observed, "that if I do my duty as a loyal subject, I shall drop the curtain on last night.
Suppose he chose again. When a man with brains in his holy head once set them to work, there were few things he could not do. He could scare others off his property, for certain. He could exercise upon the girl herself the unlimited power of Fear. He must lie doggo because of the Doctor. It was a thundering queer chance the Doctor turning up in this place.
If he happens to be standing, he stands still. Unless the light is behind him so that he is silhouetted, he is invisible to the enemy. Approaching a corpse, the patrol lies quiet and watches it for several minutes, unless it is one he has seen before and is acquainted with. Because sometimes the man isn't dead, but a perfectly live Boche patrol lying "doggo." You can't be too careful.
"Can I make a note of the nature of the loss, sir?" the man asked, moistening his pencil. "A political paper of some personal consequence," Tallente replied. "Its absence disquiets me. It also confirms my belief that Palliser is lying doggo for a time." "A hint as to the contents of the missing paper would be very acceptable, sir," Inspector Gillian begged. Tallente shook his head.
It called for individual nerve and daring on that shell-swept, pestled earth, creeping up to new positions or back for water and food by night, lying "doggo" by day and waiting for a counter-attack by the Germans, who were always the losers in this grim, stealthy advance. In Mouquet Farm the Germans had dugouts whose elaborateness was realized only after they were taken.
And the whole country was humming with dacoits. I used to send out spies, and act on their information. As soon as a man came in and told me of a gang in hiding, I'd take thirty men with some grub, and go out and look for them, while the other subaltern lay doggo in camp." "Lay! Pardon me, but how did he lie?" said Cleever. "Lay doggo lay quiet, with the other thirty men.
I had not been twelve hours in Germany, but already I was conscious that, for anyone acting a part, let anything go wrong with his identity papers and he could never leave the country. If he were lucky, he might lie doggo; but there was no other course. He would try and smuggle out a message announcing his plight. Yes, I think that is what I myself would do in similar circumstances.
"That's why they've all been lying doggo," he continued. "And then their bad marksmanship, with all this sniping they don't care, you see, whether they pot us or not. They'd rather make one clean sweep, and 'blow us at the moon. Eh? Cheer up, Rudie: so long as they're digging, they're not blowing. Are they?"
"I will give you all the time you want," replied the Sniffer President. "At least, from my side. But if those stinkers start anything, you'd better believe that I will not sit doggo and let them destroy our homes." "Fair enough," said Ozma. She then followed Probisquous to the edge of the Stinkfoot Nation. "I can't take you any further," he said. "My eyes are already starting to water.
We'd just a-got to that there chalk 'ummock, when we ran into some of 'em. 'E said to me 'Get back, 'e said, 'your own way, and then they put up a flare. I couldn't see 'im as I was lying doggo in a 'ole, but I 'eard a revolver shot about ten yards away. I looked round when the flare was out, but couldn't see him, nor 'ear him. So I thought 'e might 'ave got back." "Pass the word along for Mr.
