As Helles, Anzac and Tenedos have each been ruled out, we are going to doss down on this sandbank opposite us. One thing, it will be central to both my theatres of work. 29th May, 1915. H.M.T. "Arcadian." The Commodore, Roger Keyes, arrived mid-day and invited me to come over to Helles with him on a destroyer, H.M.S. Scorpion.
Doss stood on three legs, holding up the paw with an expression of extreme self-commiseration; he then proceeded to hop slowly upward in search of sympathy. "You have hurt that dog," said Gregory. "Have I?" she replied indifferently, and re-opened the book, as though to resume her study of the play.
'Doss thou bid me die? 'Yes, answered the girl from behind the curtain, 'if thou be in love. So he laid his head on a cushion and closed his eyes; and when the cup came round to him, we shook him and found that he was dead. Therewith we all flocked to him, and our joy was troubled and we grieved and broke up forthright.
'Will you kindly tell me where I am? he asked the footman. 'This is Marlborough House, said the footman. 'Oh, is it? Thanks, said Henry. 'Well, ejaculated the cabman when Henry had luckily regained the vehicle. 'I suppose that ain't good enough for you! Buckingham Palace is your doss, I suppose. They could now hear distant sounds, which indicated other vessels in distress.
She drove me out of the house, and I ran through the doorway nor ceased running until I came to a butcher's stall, where I stopped and began to eat what bones were there. When the stall owner saw me, he took me and led me into his house, but as soon as his daughter had sight of me she veiled her face from me, crying out, "Doss thou bring men to me and dost thou come in with them to me?"
"I should say not." "No, I'm a bachelor, and likely to continue one." "Well," remarked Mrs. Doss sentimentally, "I don't know nothing jollier than courting time. Such little ordinary things seem sweet like, then." "Hark at the old girl," chuckled Doss. "You can't kidd me, Doss. You know it, too. I think of our own billing and cooing, sir his and mine.
Davidson had been left to his own "inspirations," and allowed complete liberty of action, he would have succeeded in reaching Timbuctoo; but his health doss not appear to have been sufficiently robust, or himself acclimated, to have brought him back from his perilous adventure. These cups hold at least a pint each, and every adult male is expected to empty four, if not six.
He could feel that she shook her head. "Do you want to be quiet now?" "Yes." They sat quite still, excepting that only sometimes he raised her fingers softly to his mouth. Doss, who had been asleep in the corner, waking suddenly, planted himself before them, his wiry legs moving nervously, his yellow eyes filled with anxiety.
The dog jumped on to his back and snapped at the black curls, till, finding that no notice was taken, he walked off to play with a black beetle. The beetle was hard at work trying to roll home a great ball of dung it had been collecting all the morning: but Doss broke the ball, and ate the beetle's hind legs, and then bit off its head.
When it came away again there was nought within it. "Doss thou know the country hereabouts, thou good and holy man?" asked Robin, laughing. "Yea, somewhat," answered the other dryly. "And dost thou know of a certain spot called Fountain Abbey?" "Yea, somewhat." "Then perchance thou knowest also of a certain one who goeth by the name of the Curtal Friar of Fountain Abbey." "Yea, somewhat."
