presently. bad times. I'd no one
here but one hired man I'd sent off
Edward, the chauffeur (the fellow who
drove us today-he has a wooden leg,
but / paid for it,, and he lost his foot.
When I got the news of 1t, it somehow
opened up an obstinate streak in me.
Very WELL l said to myself, We've
got to see this thing through to the
end So 1 sent William, my gardener.
Then the word came that William
had been gassed. 1t sort of put me
on my mettle. If the Germans want
to try it out man for man, I'll stay
with them I said, and l sent off
Peter, the stableman, the very night
heard about William.
Now Peter l said, If YOU see
William or Edward, tell them that
if they've lost a leg or anything like
that, the loss will be mine, and mine
alone. Peter was torpedoed. but
let his mother know at once that il
should come on me alone"
Yes continued Mr.. Newbolt after
pause, those were hard times, and
that was how it was that I was left
with no one here but the hired man
in that cottage below.
II remember that It was so cold
that Winter that often when I sent
the man out to get firewood he'd
come in with both sides of his face
frozen. But l didn't seem to mind il.
Il remember once l sent Alfred
| his name was Alfred-to the post
office, only a mile away, and he came
back with one ear frozen hard, and
once when / sent him to the store TO
| buy some cigars he came back with
| his other ear clear off. But 1t didn't
seem to affect me at all. If any
thing, l enjoyed it. My only fear was
| that some time when I sent Alfred
out he might freeze up solid.
But come" said my good friend.

+ kept you here with my talk till you
must be starving. Let's get up TO
the house, and III see if / can't cook
up a chop or steak and a dish of
fried potatoes or something"
With which, having expanded his
personality till ii included his whole
cuisine, my good friend started to
trot toward the house, convinced
that he was at once and at the same
time a builder. a barrel of dynamite,
an instrument of war, chunk of ice
and a French chef.
