There was such a rush, you know.

But they did take him, and the doctor who saw him undressed, naked, you know, told Daddy"-- the child hesitated a moment, then repeated slowly, proudly--"that George was one of the finest specimens of young manhood he had ever seen." "And when did he go out ?" "He went out very soon; and we used to have such jolly times when he came back, because, you know, he did come back three times altogether, and the second time--Betty hadn't gone to France then--they all went up to London together and had a splendid time.

I didn't go; Mum didn't think it worth the expense that I should go, though George wanted me to." Hardly conscious that he was doing so, Radmore turned round, and began walking quietly on along the dark road, with Timmy trotting by his side.
"What I believed," he muttered, half to himself, "was that George was safe in India, and probably not even allowed to volunteer." "George never went to India," said Timmy soberly.

"Betty wasn't well, I think, and as they were twins, he didn't like to go so far away from her.
So he got a job in London.

It was quite nice, and he used to come down once a month or so." He waited a moment, then went on.
