At last he and Hennesey agreed that it was time to quiet them; so Hennesey, behind the bar, filled twenty-four pint flasks, each with a moderate addition of "knockout drops," and with much flourish of oratory brought the crowd up to the bar for a last drink and the presentation of the flasks.
"You're from Halfa, I suppose?" asked the Colonel. "No, we're from the other show. We're the Sarras crowd, you know. We met in the desert, and we headed 'em off, and the other Johnnies herded 'em behind. We've got 'em on toast, I tell you. Get up on that rock and you'll see things happen. It's going to be a knockout in one round this time." "We left some of our people at the Wells.
'Ah, he will say, 'yah ochen rrad vasveedyat, kak vui pazhavaetye? which in the United States means 'How do you do? to which she will reply, 'Blogadaru vas, yah ochen korosho, or 'very well, thank you. It is the knockout. A fellow has to shake hands so much that some of them are getting the habit around the company.
He remained to stare, but his tail was up, and we knew he only stayed because he knew he could easily catch up in the next twenty seconds. The chance was very slim of delivering a knockout at that distance, but we badly needed meat, anyway, after our march through the Thirst, so I tried him. We heard the well-known plunk of the bullet, but down went his head, up went his heels, and away went he.

"My word!" gasps J. Dudley. "You must feel like successful bank robbers."
Had half a dozen speakers for the 'Liberal' side. Unfortunately I had been sent for to see a fellow dying up the line. It looked for a complete knockout for me. In came Dr. Bailey, waited till they were all through their talk, and then went for them. He didn't speak more than ten minutes, but in those ten minutes he crumpled them up utterly and absolutely.
The rest of the company watched him with much interest, laughing when he made a very bad shot and applauding when he scored. ''E's a bit orf tonight, remarked Philpot aside to Easton, 'but as a rule 'e's a fair knockout at it. Throws a splendid ring.

"Well, now I have a little scheme," he said, smiling all the while, "and perhaps we can hit some sort of a plan. If I can only get you boys out of the way, away up at camp, I'll be able to carry on my German propaganda work." Then he winked at me and I knew he was kidding Pee-wee. Well, believe me, we hit a plan all right; we more than hit it, we gave it a knockout blow.
He feared that Darrin could do whatever he willed, and shivered with wonder as to when the knockout blow would come.
