Ernest Bates: A Little Of What You Fancy – Philip Franks
A little of what you fancy
The pain having passed as rapidly as it had shot through him…
Ma not speaking, serenely poured champagne
Ma, however, was not to be bought off
A second rising wae of wind stuck in the lower part of Pop’s…
Long, long later – He never knew how long it was
Down in the village, in her gimcrack little cottage
To her dismay Miss Pilchester abruptly realised that…
Totally unaware for the next few minutes of where she was
Now, now, what’s it all about? The landlord said…
At regular intervals throughout the rest of the day…
Ma, having now finishd making the last of her curd tarts…
The laughter having at last calmed down…
Three mornings later Pop woke to see a clear
And now, Mr. Larkin, do we wish the bottle?
I’m afraid I can’t stand here all day, Mr. Larkin
By next morning Nurse Soper had departed
Trust my girl friend. She may go in for sport
Sister Trevelyan was rather less like a girl
Vanessa – at least I hope I may call you Vanessa…
Primrose soon enlightened him
It was soon after five o’clock that same afternoon…
At this Pop gave the strongest, healthiest laugh…
To all this Sister Trevelyan
Angela came to sit on the edge of the bed
Pop must set his sights on something far beyond the confines
Ma was sometimes very critical…
“The tigers of wrath”, she said, “are wiser than the hoses…”
The eventual effect of Mr. Charlton’s inspired decision…
Ma, sipping tea, waited for some elaboration of the word
Ma, the Brigadier and Pop waited with equal, silent…
It was the recollection oft the visit of a man form the ministry
In the early days of his illness Pop had once or twice…
Ever since the morning when she had decided…
Even in circumstances so ghastly…
There were three reasons why Ma was glad…
Oh! No, please, Mrs. Larkin. Call me Furly. Everybody does.
As the meal wen on and on it struck the little Miss Barnwells
It was now Mr. Charlton, as so often in the past
Beautiful port, isn’t it? Nectar.
Where are the lilies?
He had listened, in his time, to objectors
Very nice day, Pop
