` I 'm sorry . You must have pulled off too soon , ' said Dan . ` But Puck said you were telling Una a story . ' ` Continue , O Parnesius , ' said Puck , who had perched himself on a dead branch above them . ' I will be chorus . Has he puzzled you much , Una ? ' ` Not a bit , except -- I did n't know where Ak -- Ak something was , ' she answered . ` Oh , Aquae Solis . That 's Bath , where the buns come from . Let the hero tell his own tale . ' Parnesius pretended to thrust his spear at Puck 's legs , but Puck reached down , caught at the horse-tail plume , and pulled off the tall helmet . ` Thanks , jester , ' said Parnesius , shaking his curly dark head . ` That is cooler . Now hang it up for me ... ' I was telling your sister how I joined the Army , ' he said to Dan . ` Did you have to pass an Exam ? ' Dan asked eagerly . ` No . I went to my Father , and said I should like to enter the Dacian Horse -LRB- I had seen some at Aquae Solis -RRB- ; but he said I had better begin service in a regular Legion from Rome . Now , like many of our youngsters , I was not too fond of anything Roman . The Roman-born officers and magistrates looked down on us British-born as though we were barbarians .
I told my XXXXX so . '
