"A" and "D" Companies had been hardest hit and Lance-Corporal Meakin was amongst the killed; Serjeant Ward had been wounded, Serjeant Peach of "B" Company had also been killed, while "C" Company, in addition to their C.S.M., lost Serjt. Bond gassed and Cpl. Foulds wounded.
"'Ave you been waiting long, madam?" he asked. "I've just come. Are you Mr Napper?" "It is. Everybody knows me." "I've come from Miss Meakin." "Today?" he asked, as his white face lit up. "I've come straight from her." "And after what I said at last night's 'light fantastic, she has sent you to me!" he cried excitedly, as he opened the door on which was inscribed "Breibner."
She had neither leisure nor inclination to argue with a fretful patient, so went away and left him to himself. But she found his desire for Katharine's society an excellent thing. As she had said of Deacon Meakin, "it kep' her out of mischief" to act as nurse to the injured farmer, and he now delighted in her.
Aunt Eunice interpreting the same to mean: "Poor Moses is feeling left out of all our rejoicing and feels aggrieved. He wants us all to come up and tell him the whole story, since he cannot himself come to us. But alas for Deacon Meakin! I don't envy him his forthcoming interview with my hired man to-morrow morning. It is Moses' right to still direct matters, even if he cannot work.
Mrs Scatchard, and particularly Miss Meakin, were probably resentful that Mavis did not ask them to mix with her swell friends; whilst Miss Toombs had plenty of time on her hands in which to indulge in vain regrets because she was not as attractive and finely formed as Mavis.
Presently, Miss Meakin got confidential; she told Mavis how she was engaged to be married; also, that she met her "boy" by chance at a public library, where they both asked the librarian for Browning at the same time, and that this had brought them together. The girls went down to dinner in two batches. The contaminated air of the passage leading to the eating-room brought on a feeling of nausea.
Miss Meakin blames teachers for inculcating the importance of motherhood into their pupils’ minds with the result that ‘other success in life has to take a second place.’ What then does this writer consider ought to take the first place? Does she seriously think the success of women in business or politics, as municipal councillors, as writers, artists, thinkers, is of more importance than the success of women as mothers? Is it possible? .
The games from which he used to be excluded, or in which he used to be allowed to join on sufferance, no longer appealed to him. He preferred to let Joey Meakin lead the gang, vice Billy Goodge deposed, while he himself remained aloof.
"Who?" asked Miss Meakin, as she displayed a fraction of a scantily attired person through the barely opened door. "Have you forgotten me?" asked Mavis, as she entered the passage. "Dear Miss Keeves!
Mr Napper, looking out of the corner of one eye at Miss Meakin, stared attentively at Miss Jennings, who was now fully conscious of the attention she was attracting. Mr Webb waited in suspense, with his eye on Mr Napper's face. "You're very fond of draughts," said the latter presently. "Right!" cried Miss Jennings, as she smiled triumph antly at her lover.
