Si. That seventeen thousand in the hole under my bed is safe enough; not a soul saw me that time. But I believe Sosylus caught me hiding the four thousand under the manger: he is not the most industrious of grooms, he was never too fond of work; but he lives in that stable now. And I expect that is not all that has gone, by a long way. What was Tibius doing with those fine great kippers yesterday?
and below, in much smaller letters, "Cash on delivery." Janie was a general servant in a Bloomsbury boarding-house. She it was who answered the area door when Nosey called to deliver such kippers and smoked haddock as were destined by the gods and Mr. Holmes for the boarding-house breakfast table. It is hard to say in what respect Janie lit the flame of love within Nosey's breast.
If they fire over this farm I hope they don't send me back to D.H.Q. Do you know what I long for more than anything else? A clean, unhurried breakfast with spotless napery and shining silver and porridge and kippers. I don't think these long, lazy after-breakfast hours at Oxford were wasted. They are a memory and a hope out here. The shrapnel is getting nearer and more frequent.
Perce all about the news, and then come home after her mother had gone to bed. She had her tea, turning up her nose at it, and all the time wishing for something better. For some time after the meal she stood about reflecting upon her day and upon the possibilities of the future. Consideringly, she at last said in a matter-of-fact tone: "One day we'll have jam for tea, ma. And kippers.
'Is pal got sniped an' Fritzie took 'is shoes. They're awrful short o' shoes. Kippers, 'e s'ys, 'I'll not l'y down me rifle till I plunk a German and get 'is shoes. Two d'ys arfter 'e comes crawlin' back through No Man's Land and the color sergeant arsks 'im did 'e carry out 'is resolootion.
Are they all still at breakfast? The gentleman who came to see Mr. Lattaker? Still hard at it?" "He is at present occupied with a kippered herring, sir." "Ah! That's all, Voules." "Thank you, sir." He retired. I called to George, and he came out. "Who was it?" "Only Voules. He brought a letter for you. They're all at breakfast still. The sleuth's eating kippers." "That'll hold him for a bit.
Say," he said, looking up again and clasping her tightly "say you'll marry me, Julie!" She sprang up with a laugh. "Peter," she said, "you're Mid-Victorian. You are actually proposing to me upon your knees. If I could curtsy or faint I would, but I can't. Every scrap of me is modern, down to Venns' cami-knickers that you wouldn't let me talk about. Let's go and eat kippers; I'm dying for them.
I can't afford a kerridge. But you'll look neat, on the seat Of a bicycle mide for two. She shouted out the tunes, beating time on the table, and her mother, grinning, with her thin, grey hair hanging dishevelled over her head, joined in with her weak, cracked voice 'Oh, dem golden kippers, oh! Then Liza grew more melancholy and broke into 'Auld Lang Syne'.
"That's certainly a fine letter. It was nice of you to share it with me." "That's all right," said the boy. "Everyone is glad to read every other fellow's letter out here, whether he knows anything about the people or not. We get so few letters. The people at home send us candles and matches and kippers, as you see from the letter, and they send lots of cigarettes to my brother. I don't smoke.
He took the closely written sheets of thin paper, and read the letter, appreciating the spirit in which it was offered him. "My dear Father," it ran. "I received your letter and note last night, and Auntie's parcel the night before. Thank you both very much for same. It is good of you to us both, but do not spend too much money. Hard times are coming on, I imagine. The kippers were grand.
