Oh! Philip! Ease your heart about Philip.

They're nursing him, round.

He was invalided at the right moment for him, no fear.

I gave him his chance of the last vacant seat up to the last hour, and now the die is cast and this time I 'm off to it.

Poor Philip--yes, yes! we 're sorry to see him flat all his length, we love him; he's a gallant soldier; alive to his duty; and that bludgeon sun of India knocked him down, and that fall from his horse finished the business, and there he lies.
