"Spec' hit's time Miss Celia bolt de do', 'long o' de sodgers an' all de gwines-on. Shoo! Hear dat fool chickum crow!" He shook his head, bent rheumatically, and seated himself on the veranda step, full in the moonlight. "All de fightin's an' de gwines-on 'long o' dis here wah!" he soliloquized, joining his shriveled thumbs reflectively. "Whar de use? Spound dat!
My feelings on leaving "Wipers" behind me can best be expressed in the words which a poet of the 55th Division dedicated to the British Soldier in the second number of Sub Rosa: "Good-bye, Wipers! though I 'opes it is for good, It 'urts me for to leave yer I little thought it would. When I gets back to Blighty, and all the fightin's done, Mebbe the picters of the past will rise up, one by one.
If Miss Evelyn gets safe into the city, we could send her down the Tube to Earth until the fightin's over." "I'll try to see it," said Tommy impatiently. "I'll try!" He turned back to the set-up steam gun. A flexible pipe from a heavily insulated cylinder ran to it.
Maybe my fightin's been my punishment, Jimmy, but I never struck a man a foul blow." "And what was your hokey-pokey?" the pungy captain cried to the man who had been making so much religious din. "Did they sell you fur never knowin' whar to stop a good thing?"
First we've got to hear what they say, and if the saying isn't to our liking, as I'm thinking it won't be, then it's ripping and roaring and clawing and all the other 'ings' to our taste as long as we can stand it." "Go ahead," growled the Ring Tailed Panther, "I'm not much on talkin'. Fightin's more in my line an' when it's that I come with a hop, a skip an' a jump, teeth an' claws all ready."
"I don't care two straws, Sam," said little Mrs Natly with great firmness, "not two straws for their fightin's, an' joories, and davydens all I know is that they've no right whatever to kill my 'usband, and it's a great shame!" With this noble sentiment the earnest little woman concluded the evening's conversation, and allowed her wearied partner to retire to rest.
"Wal, now, you must," said Mr. Trescott. "We must talk over ol' times and " "Fight over old battles," replied Jim. "All the battles were yours, though, eh, Bill?" "Huh, huh!" chuckled Bill; "fightin's no credit to any man; but I 'spose I fit my sheer when I was a boy when I was a boy, y' know, Mrs. Barslow, and had more sand than sense. Here, Josie, here's Mr. Elkins and some old friends of mine.
Let the younger men do the service." "I don't blame ye, for goin', Fernando; but I hope ye won't furgit one thing." "What?" "My Sukey's on t'other side. Now that fightin's begun, he'll have to light his own flag; but he won't do it with a very good grace, lem me tell ye. No, he won't.
Besides fightin's his trade, an' no weaklin' ain't goin' ter control the sort o' chaps he's got ter handle. Most of 'em would murder him in a minute if they dared. Oh, he's bad all right, but yer wouldn't exactly think so, just ter look at him, I've run up agin a lot o' different men in my time, thet I 'd naturally sheer off from a blame sight quicker than I would from him."
I'm no fire eater, Judith, or one that likes fightin' for fightin's sake, but I can see no great difference atween givin' up territory afore a war, out of a dread of war, and givin' it up a'ter a war, because we can't help it, onless it be that the last is the most manful and honorable."
