y'see , our hughie here and me had a special way of fighting as a team , and- `` yes , hughie , i can hear you back there chortlin ' 'cause you know what 's comin ' ... '' and that way was this : we 'd charge into the enemy with me on top , and hughie would grab the first bloke he could get his hands on , lift him up so 's his face was about level with mine , then i 'd open my arms wide and bring the rocks around and whack the victim on either ear if he was facin ' me , or on the nose and back of the head , if he war n't .
