Bella lay back on her cushions, weak and exhausted, and when the Dosses at length went away she gave a sigh of relief. "What did they come for to-night?" she said thoughtfully. "Well, Bella, Doss had heard a bit of bad news and thought it as well to put you on your guard; but finding you like this put it out of his head, I suppose." "Bad news? What do you mean? He's not married, is he?"
The troops of Archduke Charles Francis Joseph reached the Monte Tormino Majo line. Between the Astico and Brenta, in the Sugana Valley, the Austrian attacks likewise continued, supported by powerful artillery, against advanced lines in the west valleys of Terra Astico, Doss Maggio and Campelle.
Dixie An oblong iron pot or box fitting into a field kitchen. Used for cooking anything and everything. Nobody seems to know why it is so called. Doggo Still. Quiet. East Indian derivation. Doing in Killing. Doss Sleep. Duck walk A slatted wooden walk in soft ground. Dud An unexploded shell. A dangerous thing to fool with.
He heard little of the conversation; only "better luck next time" from the redheaded man, and "I don't know as I'm taking any" from Beale, and at the parting the redheaded man saying, "I'll doss same shop as wot you do," and Beale giving the name of the lodging-house where, on the way to the coffee-shop, Beale had left the perambulator and engaged their beds.
An' while she was a-pickin' of them out very careful indeed, and I'm always glad when them sort gets a few over-ripe ones there was two other ladies talkin' over the fence. An' one on 'em said to the other on 'em just like this "'I've told both gells to come, and they can doss in with M'ria and Jane, 'cause their boss and his missis is miles away and the kids too.
Such a transparent little face, refined by suffering into an almost angel-like beauty. The face looked at her; she looked back, laughing softly. Doss, quivering with excitement, ran round her, barking. She took one step toward the door, balancing herself with outstretched hands. "I am nearly there," she said. Then she groped blindly. "Oh, I cannot see! I cannot see! Where am I?" she cried.
Bella persisted, ill though she was, in appearing night after night in public until at length what Saidie had predicted came to pass, and she received a formal notice cancelling her engagement at the Empire on the ground of the extreme delicacy of her health. Mr. and Mrs. Doss happened to be with her at the time she received the notice, and Bella partially appealed to them.

"Then I'll stick in mine," said I impulsively, "and I'll come with you, and doss down in any corner for the night." He stopped and turned on the stairs. "You mustn't do that," said he; "they won't have anything ready.
He'll spoil everything I know 'e will, just as we're a-gettin' along so straight and gay. Don't let's go to that there doss; let's lay in the old 'ouse." "Ain't I never to 'ave never a word with nobody without it's you?" said Beale, but not angrily.
I was not a draw in those days; the last turn in the bill at the "Middlesex" was about my mark, and Doss, he hadn't risen, neither.

And eat lor', how we did eat.
