Excerpt from The Hosts of the Lord
"Understand! Of course you don't. I don't, though I've been here two years. And what's more, I don't want to," retorted a rather undersized Englishman, whose white drill suit made him look like a stem to the huge mushroom of a pith hat which he wore. Despite this protection his face was brown exceedingly, and faintly wrinkled through sheer exposure to sun-bright, sun-dried air. The fact enhanced the monkey type of his features, and made his clear, light-blue eyes-so set that they were shadowless below and cavernous above-look quite aggressively cool, inquisitive, intelligent.
"So long as e don't understand them," he went on, "and they don't understand us," we jog along the same path amicably, like-well! like the pilgrims to the 'Cradle of the Gods, ' and the telegraph-post to the Adjutant General's office up the road yonder-and I'll trouble you o cram more space than that between two earthly poles!
