Title: The Little Warrior
First published: 1920
Description: From the book:Freddie Rooke gazed coldly at the breakfast-table. Through a gleaming eye-glass he inspected the revolting object which Parker, his faithful man, had placed on a plate before him.        "Parker!" His voice had a ring of pain. "Sir?"  "What's this?"  "Poached egg, sir." Freddie averted his eyes with a silent shudder.  "It looks just like an old aunt of mine," he said. "Remove it!"    He got up, and, wrapping his dressing-gown about his long legs, took up a stand in front of the fireplace. From this position he surveyed the room, his shoulders against the mantelpiece, his calves pressing the club-fender. It was a cheerful oasis in a chill and foggy world, a typical London bachelor's breakfast-room. The walls were a restful gray, and the table, set for two, a comfortable arrangement in white and silver.
