It was a good dinner; we had consulted over each item from cocktails to liqueurs, and we are both distinctly fussy about food. "I do mean it!" insisted my guardian. Dunny has the biggest heart in the world, with a cayenne layer over it, and this layer is always thickest when I am bound for distant parts. "I mean every word of it, I tell you, Dev."
With every glance I stole at him a lump in my throat grew bigger, and in the end, bending forward, I laid a hand on his knee. "Look here, Dunny," I demanded, not looking at him, "do you mean half of what you were saying last evening or the hundredth part? After all, there'll be a chance to fight here before we're many months older.
Anything slippery is described as "slick"; and a slice is a "sliver." "Breeds" denotes the brim of a hat, and a deaf man is said to be "dunch" or "dunny." To "glowr" is to stare possibly connected with the word "glare." Two red-coated sportsmen, while hunting close to our village the other day, got into a small but deep pond.
Then I stared past him toward the ladies, who were coming up with Dunny; and except for that girl in white, I saw nothing in all the world. "Monsieur," the duke was saying, "I pay you my first visit. Only my weakness has prevented me from sooner welcoming to Raincy-la-Tour so honored a guest."
"I never heard of it before. Well, your new life begins too late, Dunny. You brought me up the other way. The modern system, you know, makes the parent or guardian responsible for the child. So thank yourself for my unneutral nature and for the war medals I'm going to win!" Muttering something about impertinence, he veered to another tack.

They spend their entire time fishing from boats which they build themselves, or squatting beside their huts mending their fishing implements. The good soul with whom I am lodging is calling me to my scanty repast. In the rude language of the place she tells me that there is "Krabss al ad an dunny." How can I live long, I ask, on such fare? Hopefully, your

"I've no more time to-night to spend thief-catching, Officer," I told him. I had just recalled my dinner, now utterly ruined, and Dunny, probably at this instant cracking walnuts as fiercely as if each one were the kaiser's head.
Dunny had an ancient butler, a household institution, who had presided over our destinies since my childhood and would, I fancied, look something like this if he should hear that I was dead. But in heaven's name, what was wrong here, and was nothing in the world clear and aboveboard any longer?
You might have," I admitted with some ruefulness, "if you had known I was bucking both the Allied governments and the picked talent of the Central powers. It was too much. I was riding for a fall, and I got it. But I don't mind saying, Dunny, I'm infernally glad you came." He wiped his eyes. "Well, you go to sleep now," he counseled gruffly.
