"Blow away, Jim," laughed the Captain, "I like to hear you; and it's good talk if you don't mean it." "I'll be blamed if I don't." "Come, you're talking now, you're saying a lot more than you'll live up to, you know that as well as I. People always do when they're gassing." "Well, blow or no blow, it's truth, whether I live up to it or not."
He laughed as though enjoying a good joke. Horrocks felt that he must terminate this interview. The Breed had a most provoking way with him. His self-satisfaction annoyed his hearer. "How much longer do you intend to keep me here?" Horrocks exclaimed bitterly. "I suppose you mean murder; you'd better get on with it and stop gassing.
The children sidled away from the unequal contest and mingled with the crowd. Their feelings were too deep for words till at last Robert said 'That stiff-starched PIG! 'And after all our trouble! I'm hoarse with gassing to that trousered lady in India. 'The pig-lady's very, very nasty, said Jane.
I've kept you up, gassing. Well, dream good luck for me to-morrow." His thoughts, when she had gone from the room, went, "A better evening! That's the way! I can do it, you see, if I try. That other thing doesn't matter. I was a fool to drag that in. She doesn't understand. Yes, that's the way!" He sat late, happily. If only he could get past the doctor to-morrow! That's the way!
The gunners' only chance of protecting themselves from the deadly fumes was to wear their gas-helmets. All of a sudden, just as the gassing of our batteries was at its worst, all along our front-line S.O.S. rockets commenced to go up. Our infantry, if they weren't actually being attacked, were expecting a heavy Hun counter-attack, and were calling on us by the quickest means possible to help them.
"He is not of the insidious, plotting type. He spoke his mind openly," suggested Lanstron. "If you give him the limit of the law, why, he becomes a martyr to persecution. I should say that his remarks might pass for barrack-room gassing." "Very well," said the colonel, taking the shortest way out of the difficulty. "We will excuse the first offence."
It was as well, for Poppy was growing wicked, anger dominating every more humane and decent feeling in her. "Look here," she said, when the storm had somewhat abated. "I know that sort of talk as well as my old shoe. Haven't I listened to it for hours? For goodness' sake, quit it. It doesn't wash. Let us come to the point at once without all this idiotic brag and gassing.
After tea, at an informal gathering of prefects in his study, Flint related the adventure. "He's been playin' for this for a week, and now he's got it. You know as well as I do that if he hadn't been gassing at us the way he has, that young devil Beetle wouldn't have dreamed of marbles." "We know that," said Perowne, "but that isn't the question.
The pioneers stood by the batteries of twenty cylinders each and let off the gas a fixed few minutes after a rocket signal, at which the infantry retired to leave the front line free for the pioneers, who not only ran the risk of gassing from defective appliances but were subjected to almost immediate violent bombardment from the opposing artillery.
Major 'Blast-off' Connel, for instance, the toughest, meanest old son of a hot rocket you have ever seen!" "Stand to!" The six boys nearly broke their backs jumping to attention. A squat, muscular figure, wearing the black-and-gold uniform of a Solar Guard, strode heavily into their line of vision. Roger gulped as Major Connel stopped in front of him. "Still gassing, eh, Manning?" he roared.
