Nicky Nan Reservist
By: Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch (Q)
How The Children Played.
When News Of The War First Came To Polpier, Nicholas Nanjivell
(Commonly Known As Nicky-Nan) Paid Small Attention To It, Being
Preoccupied With His Own Affairs.
Indeed, For Some Days The Children Knew More About It Than He, Being
Tragically Concerned In It--Poor Mites!--Though They Took It Gaily
Enough. For Polpier Lives By The Fishery, And Of The Fishermen A
Large Number--Some Scores--Had Passed Through The Navy And Now
Belonged To The Reserve.
