My dear Tsar | B |
I am owing you | C |
The usual apologies | D |
I did not come to Dunkirk | A |
I did not come to Dunkirk | A |
I did not come to Dunkirk | A |
I was billed as usual | E |
But at the last moment | F |
I did not come | G |
So that it was in vain my dear Tsar | B |
That you and your Imperial spouse | H |
To whom I offer my very humble duty | I |
It was in vain | J |
That you and your Imperial spouse | H |
To whom I again offer my very humble duty | I |
Searched the poop of La Marguerite | K |
With your Imperial binoculars | L |
I was not there | M |
I was not there | M |
O pregnant phrase | N |
I was not there | M |
I was not on the poop | O |
I was not on the poop | O |
I was not on the poop | O |
I was not even abaft the binnacle | E |
In fine I was not there at all | E |
And why | P |
Ah ingrate that I am | Q |
Why O why | P |
The North Sea or German Ocean my dear Tsar | B |
No doubt hath its pearls | R |
It also hath other things | S |
As for example a Dover Ostend route | T |
I went on that route | T |
On Saturday last | U |
It is a nice route | T |
I give you my word for it | V |
But the North Sea or German Ocean | W |
Also has | X |
An Ostend Dover route | T |
On which route I went | Y |
On Sunday evening | Z |
And part of Monday morning last | U |
Five hours my dear Tsar | B |
Had I of that Ostend Dover route | T |
And I am now at a place called Thame | Q |
In Oxfordshire | B |
Recruiting | Z |
Though I promised a man at Bruges | A2 |
And another man at Ypres | A2 |
That I would infallibly see him | Q |
At Dunkirk | A |
The Loubets are of course | A2 |
Bitterly disappointed | B2 |
But you can explain for me | Q |
Can you not my dear Tsar | B |
You understand | C2 |
Do you not | D2 |
The North Sea or German Ocean | W |
Fatigued you | C |
Did it not | D2 |
That is precisely what it did to me | Q |
Fatigue is a good word | E2 |
I thank thee Tsar for that beautiful word fatigue | F2 |
All day Monday I felt so fatigued | G2 |
That I went and joined a Peace Society | Q |
The Boer war my dear Tsar | B |
Is entirely over | B |
So far as I am concerned | H2 |
Henceforth I quarrel with no man | I2 |
Fatigue has laid its heavy hand upon me | Q |
I am too much fatigued to quarrel even with the partner of my joys and sorrows | A2 |
Peace perfect peace | A2 |
Is what I require | B |
And what I mean having | Z |
Time writes no wrinkles on the Ostend Dover route | T |
But you should see the people who have been that way | J2 |
Thame in Oxfordshire | B |
Pitches beneath my feet | K |
When I think of it | V |
