(Before Mr. Commissioner Punch.)
An Officer of Volunteers introduced.
The Commissioner. Well, what can I do for you, Captain?
Officer of Volunteers. Hush, Sir! If you were heard to give me my military rank, you would be the cause of covering me with ridicule!

Off. Certainly, Sir. I hold Her Majesty's Commission, and am supposed to be one of the defenders of the country.
