"Ha! you's willin' for to do second fiddil now?" said the native, turning with a grin to Muggins, as he was about to resume his place at the head of the party. "No, never, ye leather-jawed kangaroo, but I've no objections to do the drum on yer skull, with this for a drumstick!"
I must kiss you for that, Grandpa, even if it didn't do us any good." She threw her arms, drumstick and all, about his neck and gave him a greasy smack, immediately rubbing her lips with the back of one hand. "Aha! That's no fair," he protested. "You rubbed that off." "No, I didn't. I just rubbed it in. Thank you, I don't care for any pie tonight. Somehow this drumstick filled me up full.

Just as we hurried out of the end of the communication trench into the dark jumble of the low sandbag constructions which formed this part of the firing-line, there came two bangs from the southward as if someone had hit an iron ship's tank with a big drumstick. It was our preparatory bombardment which had begun. A light showed dimly from one or two crevices in our trenches. We peeped into one.
He replaced the "drumstick" upon his plate and allowed it to remain there untouched, in spite of a great hunger for it. Having looked down, he now found difficulty in looking up, but gazed steadily at his plate, and into this limited circle of vision came Milla's delicate and rosy fingers, bearing a gift.
