Book Description

Excerpt from Mr. Standfast Thank God there isn't, I said, and the Old fellow begged permission to tell me a lot Of unpalatable things. I knew his kind and didn't give much for it. He was the sort who, if he had been under fifty, would have crawled on his belly to his tribunal to get exempted, but being over age was able to pose as a patriot. But I didn't like the second lieutenant's grin, for he seemed a good class Of lad. I looked steadily out of the window for the rest Of the way. And wasn't sorry when I got to my station.
