A large part of Admiral Jellicoe's official report deals with the work of the light cruisers and destroyers, which, while necessarily restricted to a secondary rôle, contributed in many ways to the operations of the main fighting forces, securing and transmitting information, attacking at critical times, and repelling attacks from the corresponding craft of the enemy.
But that was only a surmise; and, as the proverb has it, 'He discovers who proves. I could prove nothing, so that I never discovered Mr. Jellicoe's motive, and I don't know it now." "Don't you, really?" said Mr. Jellicoe, in something approaching a tone of animation.
"We needn't drag Jellicoe into it." "As a matter of fact if you don't mind " began that man of peace. "Quite right," said Psmith; "this is not Comrade Jellicoe's scene at all; he has got to spend the term in the senior day-room, whereas we have our little wooden châlet to retire to in times of stress. Comrade Jellicoe must stand out of the game altogether.
DEAR ARTHUR: . . . I recall one night when we were dining at Sir John Jellicoe's, he told me that the Admiralty never slept that he had a telephone by his bed every night. "Did it ever ring?" I asked. "No; but it will." You begin to see pretty clearly how English history has been made and makes itself.
"The only thing is we must get into the same dormitory." "This is where Comrade Jellicoe's knowledge of the local geography will come in useful. Do you happen to know of any snug little room, with, say, about four beds in it? How many dormitories are there?" "Five there's one with three beds in it, only it belongs to three chaps." "I believe in the equal distribution of property.

Jellicoe's passionless tone that disturbed the inspector exceedingly, for he turned to Thorndyke and said in a low tone: "I wonder what his game is? He can't get away, you know." "There are several possibilities," said Thorndyke. "M'yes," said Badger, stroking his chin perplexedly. "After all, is there any objection? His statement might save trouble, and you'd be on the safe side.
The leg of a wardrobe and the leg of Jellicoe's bed made it possible for the string to be fastened in a satisfactory manner across the lower step. Psmith surveyed the result with approval. "Dashed neat!" he said. "Practically the sunken road which dished the Cuirassiers at Waterloo. I seem to see Comrade Spiller coming one of the finest purlers in the world's history." "If they've got a torch "
Jellicoe's description, might those remains be the remains of the testator, John Bellingham?" "Yes, they might." On receiving this admission Mr. Loram sat down, and Mr. Heath immediately rose to cross-examine.
