"Oh, yes, miss, she's alive and 'earty; but the daughters manages everythink, and what they down't manage the h'orphan nieces does.

"The Australians have took everythink, or practically everythink worth takin'. They stormed Lala Baba and captured Chocolate 'ill in fac' they made the landin'; and the Xth and XIth Divisions are simply a myth accordin' to the papers!" Many times have I seen the value of the Scout training, but never was it demonstrated so clearly as at Suvla Bay.

In a few days I shall go to the tents and see you and Rhona, and my old friends, Panuel and Jericho; I shall indeed, Sinfi. I mean to do it.
