General Redtape (of the Intelligence Department, W.O.) "WHAT! GOING TO RESIGN!"

Volunteer Officer. "YES. WHY SHOULD I ONLY GET YOUR KICKS FOR MY HALFPENCE?"


MORE KICKS THAN HALFPENCE.

Volunteer Officer, loquitur.—

Yes, take back the sword! Though the Times may expostulate,

Tired am I wholly of worry and snubs.

You'll find, my fine friend, what your folly has cost you, late,

Henceforth for me the calm comfort of Clubs!
