He fouled poor old Sling at the wall, y'know you saw it, I saw it, so naturally I mean to call him to account for it. And he can't refuse I spoke doocid plainly, and White's was full. He has the choice of weapons, pistols I expect.
CAPT. G. winces as though shot and procession is Mendelssohned out of Church to house, where usual tortures take place over the wedding-cake. They expect a speech. CAPT. M. Doocid good, for a first attempt. Where are the shoes? Get an ayah. AYAH. Missie Captain Sahib done gone band karo all the jutis. Some one lend me a bread-knife. We mustn't crack Gaddy's head more than it is.
"We might," remarked Tomkins at length, after a period of profound thought, "'ave a trip-wire, wot would ring a gong." "That's it that's it! 'Pon my word, you're a doocid clever fellow, Thomson, doocid clever fellow what?" Percy became enthusiastic. "Ring the gong where the fellah is who lets down the door. He lets down the door, and we bag the Hun. Dam good idea!"
Chichester was very angry. "It's monstrous!" she exclaimed. "Stoopid!" agreed Alaric. "Doocid stoopid." Ethel said nothing.

"I am afraid it was all my fault," he explained. "I told her not to talk.
"How should I know?" asks Barney. "Ain't it all in the evening paper?" "That is very uncomfortable news from India, General," resumes Fogey "there's Lady Doddington's carriage, how well she looks that movement of Runjeet-Singh on Peshawur: that fleet on the Irrawaddy. It looks doocid queer, let me tell you, and Penguin is not the man to be Governor-General of India in a time of difficulty."
"Why then," said he, "we must trouble this offensive person to apologize or or put 'em up, begad!" "No, no, Sling," said he in a die-away voice, "he's a doocid fine 'bit of stuff' look at those shoulders! and quick on his pins remark those legs! No, no, my dear fellow, remember your knee, you hurt it, you know fell on it when you were thrown, must be doocid painful! Must let me take your place.

What is it?" he called. Plenty bad man here. I going, sar," was the reply. "'Have taken Sahib's keys, and say will shoot." Doocid lucid doocid convincin'. How those up-country thieves can leg it! He has been badly frightened by some one." The Major strolled to his quarters to dress for mess.
"Dead ahead, and a smooth sea, sir," replied Jim touching his hat. "Glad to be off the pebbles anyway, Captain," returned the engineer; "it may aid digestion, but it is doocid hard on old bones, like mine." "I'm going upon deck with the pilot," said Jim.
