He's setting there now, gassing with a lot of the players, telling funny stories and the like. He looks as if he didn't have a trouble on earth. My taxi-cab bill is now, for last night and to-day, forty-six eighty-five. Shall I keep on him?" "No!" shouted the largest director. "Let him go to let him alone and come in."
"Well, we had talked enough together to let you into that much, eh, Hazon?" said Laurence, with a laugh which was not altogether free from a dash of scepticism. "We have. Still, I'm not gassing when I tell you I knew all about it before. How? you want to ask. Because I've been through it all myself. I thought, 'That chap is throwing his last card; if he loses, he's my man. And you have lost."
"I was thinking how ridiculous we all are," Hugo went on without change of tone or expression, "grovelling here on our stomachs and pretending that we slept when we didn't and that we want to be killed when we don't!" "White feather again!" Pilzer exclaimed. "Oh, shut up!" snapped the doctor's son irritably. "Let Hugo talk. He's only gassing.

"Julian," he said, "I know you area bit of a cynic about espionage and that sort of thing. Of course, there has been a terrible lot of exaggeration, and heaps of fellows go gassing about secret service jobs, all the way up the coast from here to Scotland, who haven't the least idea what the thing means.

Company Sergeant-Major De Harte came up from the trenches along with the ration party at eight o'clock and told me the story of the gassing and bombing in the morning.
I pushed the package across the table. "Great Scott, parson, here it is striking five o'clock, and you've been up all night!" he exclaimed, anxiously. "Here no more gassing. You come lie down on my bed and snooze a bit. I'll call you in plenty of time for mass." I was far too spent and tired to move across the garden to the Parish House.
"See here," he said, "were you gassing about that young lady? There ain't no young lady now, is there?"
