AFTER THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.
Scene—An Office. Brown and Jones discovered talking over the incidents of the recent holiday.
Brown. Yes; I was up at six on the Monday.
Jones. Well, you were in luck; for I had to be ready by four. The battalion had to be drawn up at the station by 4·45.
Brown. To be sure. You went down before we did.
Jones. Yes. I wish we had got some coffee before starting.
