Therefore it was that I asked Sergeant Corney what his belief was regarding the matter. "It looks to me much as if Colonel Willett an' Lieutenant Stockwell had been captured." "How do you figure that out?" "Because an assault is evidently about to be made. If they are not prisoners, the enemy has learned that they left the fort."
Farmer Tomkyns says he will employ me all through the winter, and pay me the same wages that he does now. This is one piece of good news. And the other is, that Mr. Stockwell, the greengrocer, will buy all my apricots, and give me a good price for them. I am to take them to him next market-day. I had to wait more than half-an-hour before I could speak to him, and that made me so late.
Captain Andrews is really a very smart man; he could have been a staff officer once, but Colonel Best-Dunkley would not let him go in for it. He did not want to lose him. Colonel Hindle stands in a similar position to General Stockwell. Things were moderately peaceful at dinner-time, and for an hour or two after.
Major Brighten was beaming with delight as he read out Sir Douglas Haig's Order, and informed us that General Jeudwine and General Stockwell, with whom he had just been conversing, were equally "bucked" about it all. And he laughingly chaffed me upon my pessimism. I told him quite frankly that I did not share the general opinion.
Those were the days of that most objectionable of all tyrants, the Censor! I can but quote from the letter which I wrote home from Westbecourt on June 18: "The Battalion paraded in a field just by my billet this morning. General Stockwell arrived at 10.45. The General Salute, Present Arms, was ordered by Best-Dunkley.
And when my strength was so far restored that I could bear the journey, the same good man entered into a stipulation with Mrs Aird, the relict of a Gospel minister, to receive me as a lodger, and he carried me in on his cart to her house at the foot of the Stockwell. With that excellent person I continued several months unmolested, but without hearing any tidings of my son.
'Well, Whittaker, what brings you here? Ought to be looking after your grapes at Stockwell but I forgot; heard you'd given up grape- growing. Ah! odd thing, a man never retires, but he gets into some mess; marries or dabbles on the Stock Exchange. I've known lots of cases like yours. What can we do for you?
"And the Vietnamese," Mo added. They were silent. "It wasn't so bad in the stockade," Joe said. "We got to watch TV for an hour each afternoon Perry Mason. The guys were always yelling for longer sentences at the end of the show. One of the guys was doing ninety days for swearing at an officer's wife. Stockwell, his name was.
Excellent people found comfort in believing, and sundry pseudo-scientific men of a cheap sort thought it best to pander to this sentiment; but a well-trained geologist pointed out the absurdity of the popular theory, and finally the police finished the matter by securing evidences of fraud. For the Ruddock discovery see Dr. G.A. Stockwell in the "Popular Science Monthly" for June, 1878.
He played his cards very well, and feeling changed towards him as a result. "'I have sent two officers down the road, sir, replied the Colonel. "'What the d s the use of detailing unmounted officers for the job? snapped General Stockwell. The Colonel said something else, and the General replied, 'That's no excuse.
