Then came England with its luxuries and decencies and comforts, and Georgie Porgie walked in a pleasant dream upon pavements of which he had nearly forgotten the ring, wondering why men in their senses ever left Town. He accepted his keen delight in his furlough as the reward of his services.
Then there were her 'Songs for Little People, at once educational and witty, especially 'Gran'ma's Porgie, and that ditty, almost prophetically imbued with the coming Imperial spirit, entitled 'Black Him In His Little Eye.
'I'll take you there, said Gillis, and he led Georgina off the road, up the cliff, by a little pathway, to the back of a house set on a platform cut into the hillside. The lamps were just lit, but the curtains were not drawn. 'Now look, said Gillis, stopping in front of the drawing-room window. Georgina looked and saw Georgie Porgie and the Bride.
When all our troops are back from Burma there will be a proverb in their mouths, 'As thrifty as a Burmese wife, and pretty English ladies will wonder what in the world it means. The headman of the village next to Georgie Porgie's post had a fair daughter who had seen Georgie Porgie and loved him from afar.
The Supreme Government stepped in as soon as might be, with codes and regulations, and all but reduced New Burma to the dead Indian level; but there was a short time during which strong men were necessary and ploughed a field for themselves. Among the fore-runners of Civilisation was Georgie Porgie, reckoned by all who knew him a strong man.
Others were overthrown and trampled in the dust; while all, both those who were up and those who were down, were cutting in every direction with their sabres, killing men and inciting the horses to redoubled fury by the wounds which they gave them. In the midst of such scenes as these Temujin and Porgie fought furiously with the rest. Temujin distinguished himself greatly.
Gillis looked, too, but while Georgina only looked at the Bride once, turning her eyes always on Georgie Porgie, Gillis looked at the Bride all the time. 'What are you going to do? said Gillis, who held Georgina by the wrist, in case of any unexpected rush into the lamplight. 'Will you go in and tell that English woman that you lived with her husband? 'No, said Georgina faintly. 'Let me go.
Three months later, after the dispatch and receipt of several mysterious letters which Georgina could not understand, and hated for that reason, Georgie Porgie said that he was going away and she must return to her father's house and stay there. Georgina wept. She would go with her God from the world's end to the world's end. Why should she leave him? She loved him.
He had uttered a loud, "Ha!" of triumph, his feet were after her, and she squealed like a hunted rabbit when he pounced on her. It was very dark within the wood. His face was no more than a blur, and her unseen beauty was powerless to help her. She was desperate, and she laughed. "George, you'll spoil my little joke. I've left a letter for you. It's a shame to spoil it, Georgie, Porgie."
Beyond any question, Georgie Porgie was immensely fond of his wife, and she was devoted to him as the best and greatest man in the world.
