I knew all of them, especially one of the naval airmen who flies what he calls a motor-bus and drops bombs with sea curses upon the heads of any German troops he can find on a morning's reconnaissance. He rubs his hand at the thought that he has "done in" quite a number of the "German blighters." With a little luck he hopes to nobble a few more this afternoon.
Also, though your horse 'The Terror, as the stable-boys call him, is not even in the betting, it almost seems, from what I can gather, that they meant to nobble him also. Therefore I think you were wiser to return at once, and I am anxious to see you on another matter as well.
"Nobble, boy?" "Lame 'em, mam, put 'em out o' the running." "The wretches!" "Yes'm. Ye see us sportsmen 'ave our worritting times, we do." "But where is Mr. Beverley?"

"I certainly should be happier," said Robinson, "if I were married, and things were settled."
There might have been a letter from Plymouth, but no letter came. And then the months went by slowly. The son did not write from Melbourne, nor from Nobble, nor from Ahalala till gold had been found.
Ahalala was a very different place from Nobble, made Nobble seem to be almost a compact and prosperous city. At Nobble there was at any rate a street. But at Ahalala everything was straggling.
