An ongoing commentary by the anonymous I about that rumbunctious rapscallion, Colonel Reginald R. Farquhear, Royal Camel Corps (rtd.) whose trials and tribulations are found in 'The Travel Journal of Colonel R Farquhear 1886-1911', and including occasional commentary and repartee by the Colonel himself.

The Text Book of Lawn Tennis by M. J. G. Ritchie

The Colonel: "This chap, Ritchie, was Covered Courts Champion in 1909, and has some invigorating words to say about one of my favourite pastimes, whacking balls around a grass court with a jolly fine racquet." 

"Why, we even used to whack them between observation balloons whilst on recce when I was in the Camel Corps!!"

"Actually, I saw Miss. Leonora and Mr. Hedgewick getting right into it just the other day.  Nothing like it you know, pocking around the lawn.  Pock, pock, pock, I could pock all day!"
