Q. And this being so, they do not wish to spend three or four days of training in practising "marches past" and other manœuvres of a more or less ornamental character?
A. Quite so; not even when the practice terminates with a review in a royal park, and a salute performed to the strains of the National Anthem.
Q. Nor do the Volunteers desire to be made into a raree show?
A. Not even to make a cockney Bank Holiday.
Q. And if you are told that this is the sort of thing that the Volunteers want, what do you reply?
A. Nonsense.
Q. And if it were added that more serious work would be unpopular, what would be your suggestion?
A. Try and see.
