With all his prosperity, and with all the freedom of action that his magazine allows him, Myles never for a moment forgets that he is still “under orders.” He has won a reputation for prompt obedience to them, and his superior officers consider that they cannot praise him more highly than by saying:
“Myles Manning never fails us. He can always be depended upon to carry out our instructions to the very letter.”
