“Rile” Rebuke.

The prince of Wales has endeared himself to the British soldiers fighting in the trenches. There is a story about a regiment that the prince recently reviewed. A soldier in this regiment was noted equally for his bravery and his untidiness. The prince talked to him for a few minutes, and the man in his confusion could stammer nothing but “Your rile ’ighness,” “Yes, your rile ’ighness,” “No, your rile ’ighness.” At the end of the interview the prince said, with a good-natured glance at the soldier’s accoutrements disordered as usual: “Very good, my man, very good; bnt, in future, please, not so much of the rile ’ighness and a little more of the pipe clay.”
