The others had sprung to their feet, astonished at this prodigal waste of a delicacy fit for kings. Chook stood for a moment, glowering with rage, and then ran at his enemy; but Pinkey jumped between them. "You do! you do!" she cried, pushing him away with the desperate valour of a hen defending her chickens. "Orl right, not till next time," said Chook, smiling grimly.
"Thank you kindly. I've 'ad a fine tea. I 'ave. A dam' fine tea. An' I'll not forget yer kindness to a pore ole soldier." Here he winked brazenly at William. "An' good day ter you orl."

"'Orl right, boss," muttered Joe; and then, half to himself, he added "'Ard luck, to grudge a man a pint, with 'is own missis inside there gittin' as full as a tick." "What's that yer say?" cried Jonah, turning pale. "Nuthin'," muttered Joe, conscious that he had made a mistake. But a sudden light flashed on Jonah. Ada had lied to him from the beginning.
"'Urray!" he yelled, dancing in the cold night air and blazing three shots into the woods. "The charge o' the light brigade! Waterloo! Lidysmith! The Camperdown an' orl the rest! Yu got no traditions, yu sneakin' pups! If I 'it one o' yu yu'd think of nothink but the quickest w'y 'ome."

"I say," Gordon muttered nervously, "you look a bit lonely, come and have some ginger beer." "Orl right. I don't mind. Give us your arm!" They rolled off to a neighbouring stall, where Gordon stood his Juliet countless lemonades and chocolates. He felt very brave and grown-up, and thought contemptuously of Davenport in bed dreaming some fatuous dream, while he was engulfed in noise and colour.
