Now then, chorus it is the last two lines repeated, you know. GENERAL CHORUS: "And he diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-dee'd, Till now he is the ruler of the Queen's navee." And Harris never sees what an ass he is making of himself, and how he is annoying a lot of people who never did him any harm.
I didn't know you; you're like a sweep. Yes, by George! and I stumped you and got it back on you. How are you? Rogers, this is a gentleman of the King's navee Charley Smith, Elphinstone Rogers." "How d'e do? Rummy machine, what!" said Captain Rogers. "Yes, by George!" said Hawley. "What's your little game?" "I've got seven days' leave, and am off big game hunting.
For a voice suddenly exclaimed: "Quick, lads; surround!" and a hand was laid sharply upon the lad's collar, while two men grappled Tom. "Now, then," he growled, "what is it?" "Hold your noise, or you'll have a fist in your mouth," said a sharp voice. "Who are you?" "Name Bodger. AB, King's Navee. Pensioner for wounds. See?"
"Bo'sun's mate on a certain destroyer somewhere off the coast of France, fighting in the U. S. Navee." "And the father?" I inquired, being one of those old-fashioned persons who like all the loose ends of a story to be tied up. "Was anything ever heard of him?"
And Telfer was aware of the extraordinary figure he cut; it was a part of his programme of life. Now as Sam approached he laid a hand on Freedom Smith's shoulder to check the song, and, with his eyes twinkling with good-humour, began thrusting with his cane at the boy's feet. "He will never be ruler of the queen's navee," he declared, laughing and following the dancing boy about in a wide circle.
This is the admiral as a young man clipped from a magazine article. Even without the mustache, you see, he had a certain martial bearing." "And now he's the ruler of the queen's navee," smiled Magee. He looked about. "Is it possible to see the room where the admiral plays his famous game?" "Step softly," she answered. "In here. There stands the very table."
Suddenly, from among the men by the drug store, a roaring song broke the evening quiet of the street, and a voice, huge and guttural, brought a smile to the boy's lips: "He washed the windows and he swept the floor, And he polished up the handle of the big front door. He polished that handle so carefullee, That now he's the ruler of the queen's navee."
But it was nothing of the sort, being only his pigtail carefully bound with ribbon, and the thickest and longest pigtail in the "Ryal Navee." Tom Bodger, or as he was generally known by the Rockabie boys Dumpus, trotted down the slope in a wonderful way, for how he managed to keep his balance over the rough cobbles and on the storm-worn granite stones of the pier was a marvel of equilibrium.
Bob meanwhile, with never a thought of Rover, was proceeding across the Dockyard with the Captain, who hobbled painfully over the knobbly paving-stones with which that national institution is ornamented, anathematising at every step he took the rulers of the "Queen's Navee," who put him thus to unnecessary pain.
He relates to us all the various steps by which his office-boy rose to be the "ruler of the queen's navee," and explains to us how the briefless barrister managed to become a great and good judge, "ready to try this breach of promise of marriage." It is in the petty details, not in the great results, that the interest of existence lies.
