"I make what we've taken seven and six," Stalky called at last over the counter; "but you'd better count for yourself." "No no. I'd take your word any day, Muster Corkran. In the Pompadours, was he, Sergeant? We lay with them once at Umballa, I think it was." "I don't know whether this ham-and-tongue tin is eighteen pence or one an' four."
Then the table steward came up, and, removing his soup, asked him whether he would take cold beef, ham-and-tongue, or roast chicken. The sound of the man's voice seemed to bring the dazed chief officer to himself again; he sighed heavily, and as though relieved to find himself where he was, considered for a moment, and, deciding in favour of cold beef, resumed his narrative.
Thence he came back, greatly disordered, to find McTurk, Stalky, and the others of the company, in his study enjoying an unlimited "brew" coffee, cocoa, buns, new bread hot and steaming, sardine, sausage, ham-and-tongue paste, pilchards, three jams, and at least as many pounds of Devonshire cream. "My hat!" said he, throwing himself upon the banquet. "Who stumped up for this, Stalky?"
