For three minutes the road should have been safe, but the German machine became human, and in a couple of minutes Colonel Seely and I returned covered with rich red plough and with a singing in our ears.
If they want Spain licked, why don't they turn the San Augustine Rifles and Joe Seely's ranger company and a car-load of West Texas deputy-sheriffs onto these Spaniards, and let us exonerate them from the face of the earth? I never did, says I, 'care much about fighting by the Lord Chesterfield ring rules.
On the third day Bates, as though he had just left off, resumed his story: "You know Seely's, the general shop, at Priddlestone", said he; "it was there we always did our Wednesday-night marketin' nobody would believe what high old jinks those Wednesday pay-days was to us Great Eastern blokes!
